I really value the way you write about your body and pain and pain management, in passing reference or longer posts like this, because I can't, or won't, one of those. Mostly because of reactions like #4. And of course the feeling that I'm whining, that it's really not that bad. But when you talk about it, all I feel is empathy. I don't know why I can't be that nice to myself.
I've had a similar relationship to many of the pills I take or have taken. If I take one, I feel weak, like I've failed because I shouldn't have needed to take it. Even though they help.
