My posts about Chronic Pain are not a call for sympathy, this blog says more Than I ever could [View all]

Some here have misunderstood my posts as a cry for sympathy, bitching about not having doctors prescribe narcotics and whatever else may cross their minds. Perhaps if I post another person's suffering the message will be better received.

Warning: This is a candid piece about a difficult subject. Please understand I am not advocating suicide nor is this a cry for help. I’m encouraging understanding and compassion.
