I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Smith -- but I DO think that ONCE IN AWHILE, we'd like a little something like "I know how much pain you're in" or "I'm sorry you're hurting so much today." Just some validation. We NEVER get it from the doctors. Many of us never did!

I guess hearing it from our families would mean alot. I know it would to me.

Hugs, Lee
