Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Yes, absolutely pain can make a person angry. It would be abnormal if you didn't feel anger. The life you had planned, worked and hoped for has been drastically changed. We each grieve for this loss. The old you, or what you probably think of as the real you is gone. Your life will never be the same, in just the same way it would be if a family member died, or any major catastrophy occurs. Your old life is dead. Now you have to find a way to build a new life, and and that might feel impossible right now. Yes, it's okay to be angry about your loss, but eventually you'll find a way to live with the changes. Will you still feel sad, or angry from time to time? Yes, the trick is to find a way not to become bitter. Check with your family doctor about seeling a counselor to help you work through your grief and make a new plan. There is alot of information about the stages of grief, ie denial, anger, bargaining, acceptance are some of them. You can look up these stages online if you wish. Just type in chronic pain + grief in your favorite search engine, such as google,yahoo, or ask.com. Tell your doctor how angry and hopeless you feel, what your pain levels are like and how severely limited you are. Write this down before your appointment and give it to your doctor. Make it short and easy to read. Sometimes it's hard to remember everything you want to say. Have the nurse make a copy and put the original in your chart. If you don't have a family doctor, get one immediately. Ask around and see who has a kind, caring doctor. Good luck Kaylene Moderator this pain is turning into >anger. Can that happen?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Thank you . I am seeing a family doctor that doesn't seems to care and I have been going to a Comprehensive Care Center for cousling and medications since my son passed away 6yrs ago. I am on epam10mg. and Zoloft100mg. With all the verifed back trouble I just can't understand why I can't get at least one day worth of pain med so I can rest.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Have you ever seen a two year old throw a tantrum and then be OK. Just get in another room or with someone you love or will understand and say, I am so P _______ Off that this happened to me! My sister and I did this because of something that happened to her also. We did the UH UH, I hurt more than you do so I need two bowls of ice cream; We acted like we were the doctor and nurse, Let me see, you said you were still hurting, is that why your hands are around my throat? Squeeze once for pain 1-5, Squeeze twice for 5 or above. It was fun to make light of things, children do this so well and I think On Sunday, August 7, 2005, at 08:11 PM, Kaylene Goyette wrote: > Yes, absolutely pain can make a person angry.
