I've been suffering with chronic pain daily since I was around 15 (I'm now 25). I've pleaded my case with so many doctors. Somehow I fall through the cracks. I've been told it's psychosomatic pain and that they can't do anything. I've had all the tests done and everything comes up negative (weirdly, I'm sad about that). My doctor told me that until I have a piece of paper that says what I have that it's all in my head. What's weirder is I've been on every anti-inflammatory drugs and they don't help in the slightest.
I feel highly pissed off that my pain is being ignored, and the more I think and research about it, the more I think it's fibro. Funny how there isn't any real test that can be done to prove that it is...
I've even fallen a pray to illegal opiate painkillers because the doctors didn't do anything. I've become dependant on them and now I've actually been clean for 26 days. My doctor would tell you I'm an addict for life, but really, I don't even think about them. What I do think about is how I was pain free with them.
So now I'm trying to boost my endorphins level to try to achieve what the opiates did, naturally. Eating spicy food, high protein, exercise a lot, listen to music that makes me happy. I'm also looking into Low Dose Naltrexone...but I feel I'm getting very off subject.
Best to get the tests done and kinda hope there is an anomaly somewhere so that he can help.
I'm sorry about your pain, I know way too well how it feels.
