You're not rambling. I also live with chronic pain. Sometimes in one spot, sometimes all over in random areas. You're not rambling to me, just expressing yourself. I've always asked myself that question. Would I rather live in mental pain (illness) or physical pain. Since both is so traumatizing, I honestly don't know. A friend who also experiences both, she said physical, but her hubby said mental. Honey, you NEVER get used to pain, no matter how long you've had it. Don't let anyone tell you that please. And if they do, then you ask them if they'd like for you to run them over throughout the day, and see if they'd get used to THAT. View Thread
