Here’s the thing, you get it. So why don’t the others. I was 45 and had been disabled for years when we had to move and a new doc said I was too young to be disabled and discontinued every med ten years of tx had put me on. I quit medicine that day. I’m almost sixty, I haven’t gone back. I use medical marijuana. Way better, it’s just now I get no medical care. And I’m still too afraid to even start. Worse, I was an ICU nurse.

Also when they make me do more work or advocate myself, causes me more stress, for me that means more pain.

you are so right!! And I have ADHD and anxiety...every call triggers my anxiety..and every dismissal affects my rejection syndrome my ADHD so graciously shared with me..and it almost makes my pain at times..it's all so hard!

Thank you for thinking about all this in detail and understanding 🙏 it’s not just the stress of having to do it at all knowing what people often assume, it’s the build up of many many various calls over time with the intermittent reinforcement of being dismissed even once more in a way that might totally drain your soul. Holding breath entire time just hoping. Sounds dramatic but after the first year, even, of my chronic issues it had already started to feel that intense and scary.

Your page is so refreshing. Since you are also a chronic pain patient, you have a unique firsthand perspective that's impossible for others in your position to understand as they lack truly grasping how difficult and challenging it is since they have never been there themselves.

I procrastinate even if it does me harm. If I hear a harsh voice, I cry and stay upset for a day. I fear call backs fr MDs office.😰

Moe ❌️ :
Having to justify my pain every single time gets so old. I carry a copy of my MRI report with me so when I have to see a new provider they can see why I'm in pain. Also, if I'm not asking to be seen for the pain and am not asking for medications, who do I have to explain everything.

The literal panic attacks from the phone calls is traumatic. It’s so real. Just trying to keep my voice at the same tone is exhausting.
