Chronic pain is no joke. Not that I think people find it funny, per se, but it's nothing to laugh off as "you're just being hypochondriacal again." When we hurt, we hurt. I envy those that have never dealt with this, and so don't have a clue - "just exercise and eat right - you'll be fine." "I only take Tylenol when I'm dying." "Opiates are the scourge of society." Sigh - you just don't know.
