I feel that something needs to be cleared up

[Guest guest]

When I first posted " Stressing " , I had no idea that it was going to

start this much trouble.

Patty is right, no one knows how each of us goes through until you

walk a day in each other shoes and here comes the but, when I read

what the one member wrote in his or her reply about pain meds and how

we did not need them, that our pain is temp. well that just made me

so angry!

I know everyone in this group is in pain everyday and I am no

exception, I wish I was! My Aunt told me yesterday that her pain was

worse than mine. I replied " Aunt Allie, how can you say that. You do

not know my pain and I do not know yours. I would never tell you

that! "

I have went from the start of my pain in Dec. 2001 to now WITHOUT

pain meds! It has gotten so bad that I can not hardly walk anymore. I

have to get grocies tomorrow and I am freaking out at 1:38am about

it. I am 35 and do you the looks I get from people because I have to

ride in the motorized carts at Wal-Mart?

Each of us has a story. Each of us deals in our own way with life and

with the pain. If someone can get pain relief by a " hug " well I am

happy for them. I can't! The pain is not temp. this pain is ongoing.

It seems as if I am not the only one who needs these pills to cope

with the pain. I am not addicted. I have not even been addicted to

cig. and I used to smoke when I am stressed and I have not since

2000, when I found out that cig. killed my father.

I was very irate when this person who replied that my pain is temp.

and that is why I said Get a life. I do not say I am sorry, because

he or she really hurt my feelings when all I was doing was venting my

fustration. If no one replied to it, I did not care. I just needed to

vent! I thought that is why this group was here for?
