<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2510438, member: 71723&quot;]The pain just shortens the tolerance for foolishness. I transferred the refusals of other similar posters to listen to reason onto this person, and that was a big boo-boo on my part. She did nothing wrong and bore the brunt of my built up annoyance with others who DID refuse to listen to people more experienced than I. My sloppiness. My mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am constantly aware that my pain management issues do make me one sarcastic SOB as well. It&#039;s either deal with it or get hooked on mind altering opioids, and THAT I refuse to do. Too many heroin overdose corpses at the end of that path. My pain is neurological / idiopathic. They can&#039;t find an organic cause. So it can&#039;t be fixed. It doesn&#039;t stop it from causing organic results, like tensed muscles that can&#039;t relax. 24/7 for 7 years. Do they relax when I sleep? I don&#039;t know; I&#039;m unconscious.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every day I make it through is its own mini-victory, and that&#039;s the way I measure life - make it through tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>People far less impaired than I sit and collect disability. I&#039;m not wired that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
