Hi, my name is Laura and I am tired of the pain and the doctors. I wonder how much more my mind and body can take of this. I have
had seven or eight surgries and each time I hope and pray that it will come to an end, but of course the pain continues. My boyfriend is
very supportive but I think he is getting worried that there is no end. About A year ago I went to a pain clinic, but of course as we all know they
don't help. They just continue to give me pain killers and I became addicted. My last surgery was in July 2001 and now I am having trouble with pain
again. Well, at least I went eight months pain-free. What really makes me mad is the way the doctors act when you talk to them about your pain. they art
as though I am crazy or acting like a big baby. But sometimes I think the pain is going to ripe my inside apart. I have an appointment with
the Mayo clinic in May, but by the look of it here, I am wondering if I should go. I live in Michigan.
I guess we are all in the same boat!
