>>>I am looking for support groups to help families deal
>>>with the emotional state of living with someone
>>CLAIMING to suffer from
>>>chronic pain - and being prescribed 4 analgesics
>>simultaneously (Mathadone included)
>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>I think counseling might be a better idea for you at this point. I say this because of your use of capital letters on the word "CLAIMING". You are obviously under some stress at home as a result of all this. Do you have any idea what it's like to suffer from an illness that plagues you with pain, discomfort and fatigue 24 hours a day, with no known cure or hope of recovery and have your loved ones use words like "CLAIMING" when they describe your sickness. You need to ask a counselor whether you should lovingly support this chronic pain "claimer" or out and out call his\her bluff before you hurt them with a roll of the eyes that puts them over the edge. I have gone through this myself and the pain of the disease is nothing compared to the pain of wondering if on top of everything, your loved ones think you're just being weak or looking for attention.
