What is one thing you’re thankful for today? #ChronicPain #Anxiety #ChronicIllness

When suffering takes its toll, it’s difficult to remain hopeful. One way we’ve found to battle this is to name something we are thankful for. I’ll start: My wife had a doctors appointment yesterday. The stress of it usually causes a major flare up. This time it did not! Your turn. What’s something you’re thankful for? There’s nothing too big or too small to share!

Question

Pain scales at the doctor, what do you say?

I always have trouble rating my pain. To someone else, or in general I'm a 10+, but to me this is normal... I usually just say a 7, because anything less and it's not taken seriously, but anything more and you're exaggerating because those of us with chronic illness & chronic pain smile through everything. I've been learning to state how pain scales are only relevant to the person in pain, but I find if I say anything under 7, doctors say that's great... NO, IT'S NOT! I'm still in a huge amount of pain, but I do this every single day!What do you say? How do you rate your pain at the doctor?
