this is kind of long but PLEASE hear me out and read..

Yet again, a random post about chronic pain.. I'm not trying to get pity..
just seeing if anyone has noticed this..

well I seen a dr. on the 27th for 20$ it's for people with no income or insurance... (I have netiehr ) < embarrassed to say

BUT, people with chronic pain and seeing doctors for the pain..
have any of you noticed that MOST doctors will not do a damn thing for that..
they told me I need an EEG for seizures, MRI on my brain to check and see if there could be any damage from the seizures of something someone missed that could be the cause.
They told me I was underweight (the pain and everything makes it difficult for me to even eat OH and an MRI on my back.. i have a recent one though..

They told me they can't prescribe shit for the pain or insomnia or panic attacks.. I asked what about something that isn't as controlled then.. she just said no..

have you noticed that most doctors if you have chronic pain they look at you like you are some pill head/drug addict and refuse to do anything that might help..



have any of you that have chronic pain

Man, it seems like the doctors are giving you all these tests so they can earn themselves more money. I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsey ~2 1/2 to 3 weeks ago. (Bell's Palsey is basically the paralysis to one or sometimes both sides of the face. This is due to inflamation of the VII nerve that is located right behind the ears. It's amazing how a tiny... let's just call it a change to the nerve can fuck up half my face (right side in my case. Wierd thing is, I can feel every touch to the right side of my face). But anyways, it's probably because pain-killers are like the Holy-Grails of susbtance abuse. Plus, Opiates are VERY UBER x9000 addicting since it causes a state of Euphoria and Well-Being. Now I'm gonna explain how Opiates work since I'm bored and I need to kill some time. What opiates are is basically a receptor-blocker. When it enters the body, it passes through the CNS and into the brain as most drugs do. (CNS = Central Nervous System, for those who don't already know) In the CNS, it attaches to pain receptors and blocks the transmission on neurons (I think its neurons but just in case, let's call them Electrical Transmissions.) After the opiate, or Morphine since that's the active ingredient in pain-killers, attaches and blocks the 'Electrical Transmissions' it slowly starts leaving the body after a certain period of time and more and more pain 'Electrical Transmissions' can pass through and be recognized as a boo-boo by the brain. Wasn't that a fun, exciting Opiate lesson to read about!? And guess what... you learned something today! Thanks!

Actually, I don’t have chronic pain, just some members of my family do/did. When my grandpa was alive, he was forever in endless pain and the muscles in his arms would decline to act on times. We used to have to massage his arms almost every couple of hours in order to help keep blood circulation, so when he was in intense pain, almost nothing looked like to work. I am aware that we attempted a variety of different product and medicines, however, if you've ever encountered that level of pain you understand how challenging it is to find any remedy.
