    Oh, JFC!! :

    “When considering patient pain, it is important to recognize that the experience of pain is individualized and might be influenced by previous experiences including trauma and mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety,” according to the CDC’s guidance.

    So after decades of being told this pain is all in our heads, we finally get pain relief - and they’re still claiming it’s all in our fucking heads!!

      And how many practitioners will “recognize” it and still choose not to give us anything for the pain

      I’ve had chronic pain for over 10 years, take pain meds daily, and it still hurts like a mofo
