Re: I am new to the group.

Hubby not supportive, huh? I say, beat him over the head until he

*understands* pain.

All kidding aside, some people just lack the imagination to really " get "

what chronic pain is like. I used to work with a guy... I got to witness

his epiphany. He'd never had a headache in his entire life (he was about

45), and so he thought people were " making it up " . Then we moved into a

" sick " building, and he started having doozies. He learned a huge lesson in

sympathy, but it took actually experiencing it to understand. And he was a

really smart guy!

So, I think you've come to the right place. Welcome!
