From people who came through it
“I was right where you are about three years ago. I remember pain clinic waiting list of nine months like it was yesterday. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.”
owlroad70 · been through chronic pain“When doctors say the scans are normal and you still hurt, it's easy to doubt yourself. Don't. Pain is real even when it doesn't show up on a screen. Find one person who believes you, and hold onto the good weeks. I still have bad ones, but I've learned to plan around them. You will too. And if you can, get a buddy. Someone who gets it without you having to explain.”
Bright Bus · been through chronic pain“This time last year I was exactly where you are. Back then it was fibromyalgia flare after a busy weekend. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces.”
Lakshmi D · been through chronic pain“I was right where you are a few years back. It was cancelling plans for the third time and I couldn't see past it. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”
