This article begs for a solution to the cycle of pain, misery, depression, insomnia, fear, disbelief and abandonment.
Why are so many people suffering in the dark and alone? Pain is not easily proved by modern technology and thus trust and disbelief gets in the way. “How can she be in so much pain, she looks OK”
If chronic pain could be seen under the microscope, like cancer, it would be on the forefront of healthcare too. Patients would have a team of specialist, supporters, ancillary care givers, guardian angels and a societal acceptance that medications, therapy and medical care would be at your disposal. You would have sympathetic friends and neighbors even strangers who would recognize your situation and offer prayer and support.
… not so much for this invisible killer.
Hope and Help are the missing links in chronic pain. Chronic pain has to be treated like a cancer, aggressively in the very early stages or it will grow and metastasize into other areas of the body and then into the soul. For this to happen we need to understand that pain has to be treated with strong medicine in the form of “therapy.”
