Hi Josie,
We are all unique in how pain affects us and the intensity of the pain that we live it. You should not compare your pain to others because yes your pain is real.
We each have our own diagnosis of what is causing the pain and the pain will interact in our lives differently and it does not matter if one person’s pain is less than someone else’s. It is still real pain.
Your pain is your pain and it is real.
We would like to share that we have hosted chats here on the website every Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 11am ET., if you would be interested in chatting with others who live with pain.
We also have support calls every Tuesday. Here is the link for the support calls and it also has the schedule for the calls.
The support calls are very laid back and a safe place for people to share the journey of pain and to do with others who truly understand.
Take care,
