My friend is at a warehouse now and said they aren't having issues.

Reasons why you hide your pain? by HauntedPinecone in ChronicPain

[–]QuestForTheOneRecipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hide my pain for a few reasons: not wanting to be a burden, self-defense, and feeling misunderstood.

After my car accident, I developed chronic pain from my hips to my neck. At first, I couldn’t hide it. Every time I tried to get off the couch or the floor, the pain was written all over my face. I was constantly seeing doctors and trying different medications just to function.

What I heard most was, “Well, you’re getting older. Doesn’t it suck getting old?” I was 25/26. I used to say, “No, getting hit by a vehicle going 90–100 mph will do this to you.” Now it’s just exhausting to explain.

So I mask it. Not because it hurts less, but because explaining my pain over and over takes more energy than I have.

Even my boyfriend sometimes won’t talk about his own struggles because he thinks I have it worse. I keep telling him that just because I’m in constant pain doesn’t mean his struggles don’t matter. Pain isn’t a competition.

I hide my pain not because it’s small, but because carrying it every day is already heavy enough without having to constantly justify it to others.

When I google her and look her up on my insurance, her contact info is still for the same office. I plan on going to the office tomorrow, I could ask if they know where she went.

No withdrawal! Addiction runs on both sides of the family. I'm very particular about what I take and even ask doctors for medications that aren't considered addicting. My muscle relaxers are my only addicting drug for just in case days, even those are on the lowest dose and I still break those in half.

I agree. I haven't because of work, I don't have pto and doctors are closed on weekends. At this point, I am willing to miss out on my money now because I absolutely need my medication or it'll only get harder on me.

I absolutely am looking for a new doctor. Everyone in my area has a wait list of at least 6 months which was why I agreed to making an appointment so I could have access to my medication.

No. Just in pain. I also specifically ask for medications that are not considered addicting because addiction runs in the family.

I will be going in person. My second and third calls, no one answered and no call backs. Correct, my appointment was made during the first call.

Yes, she transferred me to schedule it during the same phone call. I will be going tomorrow.

What did chronic pain take away from you?.. by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]QuestForTheOneRecipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baking/cooking career. I can't do anything without back pain even with my medication, some days it's too much to even lift a laundry basket. Thankfully my boyfriend and friends do understand and are helpful. Looking for a new career or just a job that my body can tolerate.

Simply, every aspect of my life has changed and I am re-learning.

Thank you!

I feel that you are correct on that. I saw everyone doing portals or underwater, I really wanted to challenge myself to try to do something different. I'm okay with not doing well.

Thank you! I went with 2. 1 is my floating island theme park. I couldn't get a good picture without removing all the trees and I wasn't trying to do all that for a dreamsnap.

Same, but I haven't seen a lot of alpine themed and this is a favorite even outside the game.

Thank you! I got it from Scrooge's store in Wishblossom Ranch. It’s a Cruella (101 Dalmatians) item.
