I have to say that I can relate. I have been dealing with chronic pain for 6 years now, probablly not even close to your suffering. However, I am completely fruterated with the medical profession and I am tired of hearing that I am only depressed, nothing else. I recently quit taking all anti-depressants and was told by my physician that he did not want to treat me unless I was willing to blindly take what ever he gave me. Needless to say I haven't felt this well mentally in a very long time, but I am still deal with pain every minute of evey day. I am now seeking a new doctor who will take my complaints seriously. I just want a doctor to actually listen to my and treat my pain.
