I wrote a book from the patient's perspective ( that also discusses things to do to help live with pain). I just found your blog bcuz my book is the same title as your blog and it came up when I was trying to get my Amazon link to send to someone. Anyway many people have said that they don't have chronic pain but knhave a loved on that does and it helped them to get a better understanding. I don't know if it will help you & your husband but I figured I would mention it. Be strong and no that you aren't alone. You are stronger than your pain.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330899081362077129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917660259841332430.post-88642572295529455242012-09-24T16:46:17.542-05:002012-09-24T16:46:17.542-05:00My chronic pain- migraine, now daily- has been ste...My chronic pain- migraine, now daily- has been steadily worsening for many years. This has always been a problem for me. I have so often felt guilty for being unable to "play", to go out, to see people. Being with a partner who doesn't understand what's going on can be an awful situation. Even if they do understand- like my husband- it still leaves me torn and guilt-ridden. My therapist says the guilt has got to go. Well, I'm working on it. <br /><br />I've also struggled with the "legitimacy" of my condition. I've been questioned so many times- by old boyfriends, by ER docs, etc.- that I started to questions myself. Am I attention-seeking? Is there some part of my that wants to be sick? No. You and I are just sick, that's all. We didn't choose it and we don't like it. Life changes us, and we have to change with it.Painfully Yourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148095787211282072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917660259841332430.post-89171499336005980922012-09-04T21:00:30.636-05:002012-09-04T21:00:30.636-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.PryvateMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10891708285517667593noreply@blogger.com
