That is so true!
Could you imagine If chronic pain people told the truth?

How are you?

Oh you know , feeling a bit more suicidal than usual this morning , ended up bawling all night due to being burnt alive from the inside out on a pain level of 12/10 and Im maxed out on anti seizure meds and pain killers plus anti depressants all at once mind you so not sure if Im hallucinating or this conversation is real, anyway Im about to call an ambulance to get to an ER.

So how are you?
