Dear Stacey, Welcome, Have you put your story on the Quilt? It's very important that our numbers be counted. Maybe we can get somebody to do something about our pain. You'll see a lot of us complain about constant pain. It's a terrible way to live, but we all try to stay alive. If you can, go back through the archives and find out about your right to pain relief. Find a doctor who will listen and give you medicine that helps. Read up on the medicines through the archives and the internet. It's a whole new world. You have a legal right to pain relief. Try not to cry with male doctors, they freak out. Be strong and write again. We'll pray for you. Hugs and good thoughts to you, Sally Grigg
