Has Anybody Been To Scared To Start A Relationship. Because They Don't Want To Explain About Chronic Pain They Deal With. And Meds .

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Peterborough, ON

I haven't been in a relationship for over three years. After separation from my ex-husband. I just scared to get into a relationship and explain my pain. And explain why I am on certain Meds. For my pain. And why I can't do certain things. Just don't feel like explaining it all. And be asked a million questions. I still work part-time. But I am exhausted after work. So really only want to go home and relax.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Well that's wonderful you have been together for 11 year's.

Had Spinal Fusion T8 To Pelvis 8 Years Ago. Still Have Chronic Pain.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Carol Stream, IL

My pain doctor and I are still working on relief but I was wondering if there is a specific bed that anyone recommends that helps one sleep better. My sleep is awful and am wondering if a specific bed might help. I sleep on my left side. I read about it and. There were about six brands recommended but before that kind of investment, has anyone found that the bed makes a difference. I have a pretty firm bed and topper right now. Thanks if you have any info.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

Praying you find a way to get to that doctor! Hugs!!
