Index Number: 16045 [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference] -> I am sick and tired of having to deal with people who don't have a -> chronic pain problem! They just don't understand that, because Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. There is nobody to talk to about chronic pain except another who has it. "Normal" people look at me like I am nuts and ask questions like ,"Can't a doctor do something for you"? or "There must be some way to help you"? Well, no there is not a way to help me right now and the doctors can't help me. After having chronic pain for almost 2 years now I just don't talk to anybody about it. That is until I found this echo. Only we can understand another's pain (physical, mental, and spiritual). So I bitch here where others can at least empathise. -> Why don't the damn quacks come up with some effective treament?? -> *adh* Most doctors don't care. We represent their failure. That is, they can't make us feel good so they must dismiss us. We are a threat to everything they have learned in medical school and mostly their own egos! -Keith- -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!157!3!Keith.Jones Internet: Keith.Jones@f3.n157.z1.fidonet.org
