Do You Feel That People Think That Your Pain Is All In Your Head?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a friend who thinks that I am putting it on, when I say that I am in pain, as she just says, well you look good, are you sure you have pain, this really hurts me inside. Do any of you have friends or family who think that the pain is in your head?

For Those That Have Used Marijuana, Would You Please Share Your Experience.
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Primary doctor suggested that I try marijuana instead of more opiates. I need to ask my pain doctor first a I signed a paper saying that I would only get pain meds from him. I have an appointment on January 5th and I want to go with some information about the success of using marijuana. I also need to know what to ask for. I'm really not interested in smoking it as I've never smoked before. Rx Marijuana is legal here in Arizona so that is not an issue.
