Tired of being asked. Whether in ER hospital or doctors office. They don’t believe your number but they have never been in constant pain for 16 months plus. I am a 8-9 daily. I shouldn’t even be alive. They think how can you be that high. I know pain has headaches for 25 years. When higher I need ice packs. My abdomen hurts all the time. Luckily I get in 6-7 hours of sleep a night. About had it since all tests have been done along with drugs and pain mgt. Even had gallbladder out two weeks ago. Only helped some with eating and stopping the massive weight loss of 45 pounds. My pain in my pelvis and around my xiphoid is always present. I’m at an 8 which is awful as we speak. Others would have died by now.

You should be alive, don't think you shouldn't. Life is tough for many of us, even tougher for some of us, but we are genetically programed to survive as long as possible. Concerning the gallbladder, read my reply to Susan in this thread. Maybe you'll get a laugh from it and a boost away from your thoughts about others should have died by now. I hope so. Keep on keeping on!
