...I have fought these fucking things for 23 years. Sometimes, I didn't think I could possibly live through the pain. Well, I did, and so did a lot of others here who have suffered more than I have. I have been pain free for two years, my longest break. For the first five years, I was chronic and virtually without meds, especially abortives. You must realize that you are not calling out to people who don't know what you are going through. My advice, unwelcomed or not, is to accept that you have to find a way to live with these fuckers. You will have to read everything on the site and talk to your doctor. You will have to find what works for you. I'm not saying this in a scolding manner. Just take it from an old man who has been there. In the words of one of my heroes: You have to get over yourself.
