The pain charts with the frowning/smiling faces are a pain! A "10" frown face for most people, would be getting your arm cut off with a baby Tylenol for relief. The medical staff usually gives the impression that the pain is all imaginary unless you have a pain that is quite obvious--- such as a broken bone or bleeding to death. Sorry to be such a Downer Donna, but our pain is a real pain in many ways and the medical support is not there for us.

I hear you. Not all pain bleeds…
Doctor says she needs to chill
To avoid stress without a pill
Cope with it best she can
To become a thing she could withstand
A mess she is, a mess indeed
The pain is madness that does not bleed
What you can’t perceive
Is endured, such agony
When it flares and when its worse
Yell and howl, moan and curse
It is not fair she wonders why
The curse that is, can’t be defied
So exist she does, to not live the same
Was a life extinct, that became so lame
