Being Labeled As A Drug Addict ??

I once went to the ER. I had 2 herniated discs. They made me wait for 7 hours, and sent me home crying. Even my parents don't believe me.

We have to remember that many of the doctors, that treat us, have never lived in the kinds of pain that we live in.
Deb, we understand pain and you will always be believed here. People that have not live in chronic pain, can be very supportive, but I don't believe that they truly understand. My family is very supportive but sometimes my husband says something, that makes me realize, that after all these year, he still doesn't get it.

This is a great place to come and chat and to get validation for the pain that you live in.

I think it is considered somewhat inconvenient to investigate your problems. So sorry. I do hope you have been treated by now.
Bye, good luck
