Chronic

Living with chronic pain is something I don't speak of very often. People who don't live in pain don't/can't understand how it feels, and often times, I feel that I'm put on trial when I do speak about my pain. I get comments like: "Well, what are you doing wrong? You look fine to me. You're pretty young. Are you SURE you're not exaggerating? It can't be THAT bad, can it?" I'll spare you the list of ailments, but this is how I feel my life has changed since my diagnosis of multiple pain-causing conditions. There's pain every day, and any day that I don't give up, I win.
