My heart goes out to you, Marnie . I always get that sinking feeling too when someone questions my use.
But if he did come back in the room with kleenex, and said that "chronic pain sucks" it sounds like he did come to a realization you needed it...so maybe he will be kinder next visit. Let's all visualize that for Marnie!
Oh, I wrote a looong post about this not long ago, after Father's Day, because that made my memories stir...
Long post short: my family gets resistant to opiates almost immediately in conjunction with their pain. My father-in-law would never admit when he was in pain, til the end, so that factors in too. Pain thresholds are something like blue eyes or earlobes, I think.
Now, I have a question for anyone here who has served in the military, like special forces, or?
Can one build one's resistance to pain through some sort of regimen or thought process? Or is that more like acute pain suffered in combat or captivity?
Please answer if any one knows.....
I think it is the chronicness that wears us down...
