@thepainnpchenlow: The Hardest Part of Chronic Pain Isn’t the Pain. #hardestpart #chronicpain #parenting #emptycup #thepainnp

Bulldog mommy :

You help me so much. Thank you! 🥰

@ricearona :

You are spot on! I’m crying. My kids are now adults. I often felt and still feel this way. My kids are empathetic kind adults and love me so much.

Ang_🖤🖤 :

Oh my gosh, yes! Or the guilt from not being productive.

pauladmartin :

So thankful for you and your videos. For me, this is the most difficult part of chronic pain.

Byrd Ke :

I thought explaining it would make my kids understand. My youngest told me that it was emotional manipulation. So guess who’s a vault now?

Aspen the bullpit :

The hardest part of chronic pain is being judged and disrespected by the very people you are trusting with your life when you are desperate for help. (Doctors and nurses)

overit247back⬆️ :

Yes! I cry seeing the pics from before, I want so badly to be that mom again. I miss what they had and what I had, I love them so much.

Coroline :

My daughter and I were talking about what her favorite things to do were, and she said mine was resting 😩😩😩

Mamenga :

This made me cry a lot. My kids and husband truly deserve more. But my kids and husband say they only want me and they know I have been through a lot. They understand but I hate it!! I would do anything to be pain free

Wolfsong-Gen❌ :

Hi Kids, remember every time I had to sleep every time I didn’t have the energy every time. I lost my temper because I hurt so much to the point where two of them were no longer talk to me.

C. Gra :

I push and push and then I need so many days to recover. It’s a hellish cycle. No end in sight but to just keep going. 💙

Kay Eller :

You're a very compassionate doctor. I like you because I truly believe you understand me.

Jessica Bihm :

My daughter is the one with chronic pain, my guilt is because of how much she misses out on

PurposefullyRooted :

I have some of the most compassionate kids. They surprise me with their empathy. With occipital neuralgia, fibro, and a sun allergy the summers are limited and I let them be sad and dissapointed. Usually I am right there with them in that.

Tisha Gardner :

I needed this today! Mom of 5 with myasthenia gravis, fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis.

Joe Smoe :

Jokes on you, I planned on sobbing on my porch when you opened my Pandora's box of regular guilt for not being enough 😅 😂

Kim :

my boy told me : but you are always sick. It was so painful to hear :(

Partyof6 :

Gemz :

Autumn 🦋 :

TaliaRene’ :

lemon :

I struggle with this so, so much. my daughter often sadly tells me she wishes I never got hurt so I could do more 🥲 I end up taking risks I shouldn't because I feel so bad about it. thank you ❤️
