I appreciate her speaking out on this, but choosing to be strong and live her life is amazing. But “stop the pity party”? It isn’t a pity party. It’s a fight to live. Every single day. To be this young and be chronically ill is something way more than a pity party. Every single day you wake up, you are choosing to live with this. To ensure this. We are not like regular people, no matter how much we’d like to be. Every single movement, everything we do must be calculated and weighed out. Sometimes it’s hard for people to fight that battle. But that doesn’t mean that they want a woe party. Every person that experiences chronic pain is a warrior. No matter what path they might choose.

I “ran out of spoons” probably before she was ever able to hold one which is why I mostly agree with the comment. I also wasn’t the type of athlete she was and when you’re a hardcore athlete you are mentally trained to handle things differently. Can’t do painkillers bc I’ll take too many, run out, and be worse off but she’s 100% correct about them and I think they do make your pain worse in some way so like most, I suffer! My body stops way before I’m ready to and I am sick of it! I’m learning with age that I don’t even have to be moving the pain is just there most of the time. I broke down to my Dr and said...”they don’t even allow animals to suffer like this” as I’m bawling my eyes out! So, although I still listen and read everything on the subject and greatly appreciate pple having a great attitude about it, it is what it is at this point! I thought if I just had a pool in my backyard I may have a somewhat normal (what works for me and my family) life and some days and nights it did/does help but I find myself facing winter and dreading it realizing nothing will ever be normal about my broken body! And yes I did use the pool in the winter (not heated)! If you can tolerate the cold it’s either therapeutic or just numbed my body for a couple of hours but I’ll take it!

a doctor who has never experinced chronic pain should NEVER become a pain doctor !

I live with chronic pain every day, from the age of 14. The pain has worsened over the years, and I had my dark periods, but the suffering helped me to go further into art, music and writing, and I ended up finding the courage doing things I would have never imagined being brave enough to do. Still, for me, the hardest part is not to be believed, accepted or understood by people around me. Love to all who live in/with chronic pain, you are not alone.

You are welcome to reach out to me. I just graduated from Mayo Clinics Chronic pain rehab program. Most chronic pain they are finding fits into Centralized Sensitization Syndrome. You learn the concepts and ways to deal with things, ill just flat out tell you though. There is no "fix" for most chronic pain. You get just get a better handle on it by doing small improvements daily. The program was 3 weeks long 8 hours a day, and I was scared I wouldnt even be able to do it at first. The first few days were very tough, but it got easier. I had to hit rock bottom before I even got to this program at Mayo. I spent 100k on different types of treatments and medications etc over 3 years. Finally this program came and I was close to ending it all... please do not hesitate to reach out. I can not advocate for this enough. Chronic pain affects more people than Diabetes, heart disease and cancer ....and gets 1/12th the funding.

Same, art, art. Music, movies/ TV helps me cope w/ it. I've only had severe chronic pain for 3 yrs & it's a nightmare! I'm down for months @ a time. Being autistic means my pain tolerance is extremely high. I can handle about 15x the pain compared to someone else. @ a 10, I could b acting completely normal. No tears. I write songs that showcase what I feel. I only listen 2 songs that have a big impact on what I feel for example: Miley Cyrus "The Climb"

My children are the only reason I continue to stay here. Lack of knowledgeable caring Dr's and financially accessible treatments is no where to be found.

Yes,Jersey Miller, you've told that about our chronic pain struggle.

Let’s see if she has such a positive outlook after 10 or 20 yrs of chronic pain. You are not stronger from chronic pain - you lose yourself, you lose the life you knew, you lose who you are to others - kids, spouse, friends, parents, professionally and on and on. These ted talks are more about trying to make others feel good about a person’s story than about reality. It’s beyond pointless (not questioning her injuries or pain - she is just young and I think more focused on trying to tell a story with a happy ending. Life is hard and for chronic pain sufferers it can be torturous - we do our best to retain our purpose and our relationships.

I live with chronic pain and my health has deteriorated. I am now disabled and need two major operations. A lot of time is spent in bed. I hardly go out.

I'm happy for her. After 20 years of daily pain I'm just not that strong. They've cut meds across the board, with no consideration for chronic pain patients. The med cut was in 2019, in 2020 opioid overdoses were UP 29%. Prescriptions are a small part of the problem, it's mostly street drugs, esp. Fentanyl. What this has accomplished is driving many to suicide or street drugs. What they are doing is not helping and we need change. Don't punish the innocent.

I’ve had times where I was like her. In fact I raised 3 kids, I used to go walk daily ( I am not a driver and I’m 43 ), I went to the YMCA to work out and swim and on the days I didn’t work out I’d walk the bike path. As the years went by I got worse , I received more diagnosis’s, and now I am either sleeping or in bed from the exhaustion and pain or on my couch. I think everyone has different levels of pain , and I’ve tried so so so many treatments , physical therapy, a chiropractor,meditation, yoga and more. Pain medication is so far what has helped the most ,but you see with this crisis our pain medication that had me working out at one time , either taken away entirely or your dosage reduced or like me a medication that helps me not kill myself and alive but not enough to help me get back to the things I once did. I love that she did it without medication that really makes me happy,but some of us unfortunately need that in our tool box.

I have had the hardest time just getting dressed lately, I live in my robe and jammies all day, usually around 5 I manage to. Only because I need to go out and feed my strays and don't want anyone to see I'm still in my robe. Is it good that I care about that? lol I used to be on Methadone and Oxy for breakthrough for about 12 years and I was happy with that because I never once felt loopy on them, just normal. If I had a better DR. I think there's more going on. Pain Management is a joke. No one suggests anything or tries to help. Just pee in your cup, let them count your pills and you'll get another prescription. Meds so far have helped most, but I'm open to suggestion, if there's anything under the Sun I haven't tried. I don't look for the CDC to change anything though. Medical Marijuana helps some but it's pricey. Sitting has been my main position for years and now it's hurting to sit very long so I so lay on the couch and watch TV. Constant struggle with my mind wanting to do stuff, but the body won.t. I've complained about this leg pain for months, next visit I guess I have to get in their face. Worst when I first get up in a.m., dread every step. I do go on...

Kat, I appreciate you bringing this subject out in the opening. I need to live with so many obstillcles of pain to the highest level,

I was diagnosed with chronic pain recently. I’ve been going through it since 2018, December. From 2017 until 2018 my health was starting to get messed up. I would run out of breath, had severe respiratory infections, severe allergies, allergic conjunctivitis. Etc. I waited for it to get better. A couple months after I joined med school, I thought I was getting better. It was calm before the storm. Every single day, is a struggle. I lost my appetite almost fully. I don’t feel like eating no matter how long I starve for. I’m always tired and on my bed. I hate taking painkillers because some could affect you in the long run. Also, it could be addictive. I waited for at least 7 hours everyday until I finally took them at nights/midnights The pain is mainly at my eyes and head, and I can’t even cry because that hurts even more. I can’t move. Everything is a struggle. Sitting upright. Walking. Everything. I don’t even feel fresh after/during shower. Some days are better than the others but some days. I wish I died. I have such a big commitment (medical school, which I always dreamed of) and it is extremely hard. While typing this, I’m on my bed, in pain without even having a meal.! The hard truth is that, it is only going to get worse and I don’t know if I could really pull myself together because the pain I go through currently is insane. I can’t imagine going through something more intense. I feel like I can’t make it through media school and I’m goin to be such a failure. I genuinely wish I died, so that I don’t be a burden on my family and friends anymore.

I never wore heels, the closest was a wedge I wore one summer. And still I'm fighting bunions, hammer toes and horrible callouses. One really bad hammertoe throbbed most of the day. Had it amputated in Aug. and what a relief. It still amazes me that my foot doesn't hurt! Except when the bunion acts up but still don't miss that toe. People see my curled toes and assume I wore heels. Good thing I didn't!

She felt her feet getting numb. I understand, because accident I got into a few years back also caused me weak limbs. Doctors dont care they just want to drug me up. most day I dont feel motivated to anything, cause of the physical pain and mental/emotional dispair. Th accident caused me to lose my pregnancy, it also affected my work performance/productivity and eventually cause me to lose my job. And just like this young woman I too became withdrawn from people and doing things I enjoy. My personal care is not up to standard as it use to be nothing is as good as it use to be, my wellness has gotten worst and I worry about my future. I am young I want a family I want to be working and contributing to positive changes as I was doing before prior to the accident. I want to do the activities (sports, traveling/adventures, socializing, participating in charity events and volunteering for just cause organizations, my arts and craft and fashion and beauty side hustle, projects, participating in community initiatives, gardening, personal care upkeep, etc) like I use to do. I have some family support to keep me from totally giving up on life, but I yearn to get back to enjoying my life the way I use to, working, and contributing to positive change for the wellness of community and overall humanity.

God bless you all! How about a video on Kratom? I’ve got severe spinal damage, crohn’s disease & I survived long Covid. The only reason I’m still able to work full-time and get in the gym and enjoy myself at home in moderation is the discovery and proper use of Kratom along with lots of prayers & mobility work. 💫

I am sitting here 4.32 am woke out my sleep with pain all over. I can only describe the pain as feeling like I have survived a car crash (and I know what that feels like in real life) I take Tramadol religiously for my pain. And have just taken a dose as I'm writing this. It's the only thing that works. Chronic pain is aggressive and agonising 😢 a clear second to labour pain easily. She who feels it knows it.

Because we are in pain, it is daunting to fight one more fight in addition to the battle with pain that begins each new morning when we wake up. That said, I’m willing to begin to fight this badly thrown together legislation that has created terrible frustration and stress for those of us who suffer pain. If anyone has any references to perhaps groups already formed that address organizing to create the change we need so that we have quality of life that would allow us both some relief as well as foster our independence. Pain management docs are our hope but legislation harms them as well so that many are either retiring or limiting their practices.

The way pain patients have and are ignored by the medical community is inhumane. I have had pain for 30 years. When I was younger, I thought my pain was at a high level because it was intolerable. At this point, I cannot even believe how much pain the human body can produce. I had additional injuries after my initial one that has compounded the pain. Remember, even though you think you know what someone is going through because you have pain, you really have no idea. You don’t know the answer for other people. If you can will yourself to do things that is awesome but don’t assume other injured people can do the same or that they haven’t already tried everything in their power and it hasn’t worked. If it has worked, you may be from a small lucky group.

U sound Almost like me

Mam, please tell us what happened to your horse after the fall?

Did you ever see another Doctor after that bad experience in Vancouver! Going through similar in Milwaukee.

Pain lets you know you're a live however my chronic pain does not allow me to live. Unfortunately pain never stops, ever!

Everyday feel like 😔😭😰

Sometimes you don't realize how much you need to hear something

For 18 months I have suffered terrible pain with haemorrhoids and fissure just wish I never went to doctor then specialist had sphincterotomy and haemorrhoid removed now in more pain then ever completely destroyed my life the only meds I take is to knock me out at night so I can sleep

Try researching the original reason the spoon theory was invented... This lady explains it from her perspective, not from the lady who created it to explain invisible illness. Pity party was never mentioned by the lady who created spoon theory (she has a website and even a Ted talk if you are interested). We all have an individual experience of chronic pain and often recovery differs from what the lady in this video experienced.. We are all lumped in together if we experience pain for more than 6 months but that doesn't mean that we will all have the same individual symptoms or respond the same way to the same treatment or management options.

Misery loves company.

I can’t even think about putting some heals on

Doctors offer medications every day. I decline them daily. I'm trusting God. And I know He will answer. I also know there are some amazing doctors in this world.... I am forgiving my body. Forgiving myself. I have given myself permission to be human.

That Dr. should be NO Doctor.

hi madam

Washington state doctors are pretty bad....until you go to Malta

I am doing a school project and looking to interview those that are dealing with chronic pain. Message me if you are interested. Thanks!

Now the doctors just put down the forms without reading them and say sorry we cant do anything for you. At least before we got medication

You need Pain Management

Testosterone is HEAT. Heat produces pain. Acidic testosterone produces 3x more heat

When she tries to tell just how bad her pain is and the damages done, it is horrific, but certainly a lie. People like this are all about the trauma that never goes away and the pain that is always there... except it is fabricated. She said she is currently in a level 6-7 in pain right now... this is just bogus. Level 10 pain: incoherent to mentally passed out. Level 9 pain: all attention directed at comfort. If not controlled it will progress to level 10 pain. Level 8 pain: cannot carry on any lengthy or focused conversation. Nothing to stop progression to level 9 pain (except opioids) Level 7 pain: all attention given toward moderating pain. Turns into introvert in order to attempt and assess damage control Level 6 pain: loss of any constructive activities. No house cleaning, no food prepration, NO extended or moderate WORK time. (She said she is at level 6-7 pain and is working.) Non-Functional. Level 5 pain: More than just discomfort this pain level begins to severely affect one's mental state... irratibility, anger and such. Losing control. Severe lulls in conversation (blank spaces) Losing coherent aptitude, does not want conversation. Level 4 pain: Functional but with mistakes. Minimal conversation. Noticeable Blank Spaces (lulls in conversation) Like the end of a 20 hour shift with forced awareness. Level 3 Pain: coherent and lucid with moderate "blank spaces." Can carry on a conversation... equivielant to working a 16 hour shift. Level 2 pain: slight discomfort, not causing any confusion. Like the end of an 8 hour shift

I've been asked to rate my pain for 20+ years and not once do I recall seeing guidelines like this. Would have been so, so helpful. They just showed me the smiley/frowning faces. I'm actually ticked off at the moment about these "pain management" doctors who charge $300+ a visit to have someone else count my pills and test my urine. Then the Dr. talks to me 5-10 min. making no additional suggestions for pain, don''t even have enough initiative to supply me with that information.

The problem is there isn't one, consistent pain scale used in the US. Her level 7 probably isn't the same as mine, and in all fairness, pain affects people differently in that when I get joint pain from humid weather it hurts and is hard to walk, etc., but I'd trade that for my muscular pain from a genetic connective tissue disorder any day. I've used the Mankoski pain scale for years now, but that doesn't mean my doctors or PT use it, so no one really knows how I feel. On that scale, I've been generally at a 7 for 19 years and at an 8-9 the first couple of years after my illness started before I was given non-opiate meds (they make me sick and don't help for some reason). When people without chronic pain tell me they're at a 10 over some silly thing, I want to just scream because a 10 means you are unconscious and I actually have passed out from pain before. You literally cannot be a 10 and verbalize that until you come down on the pain scale.

Her story is completely irrelevant to anyone else.

I think many men have suffered unfairly due to the "me too" movement.

Please God Help me . I’m only in my 40’s and have what’s called failed back surgery. It’s so embarrassing that I have to use depends . I have no friends or life . I need pain relief and therapy please god help me. Hope is dead and I don’t want to suffer the rest of my life .

@@CurlyMedic03 I understand. I believe in God but feel that my suffering is “part of life”. I have been in pain since 71. 50 years now. After 30 years I was finally given morphine. It helped but after 16 years drs took it away. I can’t bear this ever increasing pain. My entire body. Inside and out. No one knows another’s pain. We all have different pain thresholds and our pain centers in our brains are different. I will probably take my life. I have born this too long. My #1 help is distraction. However, we need to sleep. How can we sleep when suffering so! Poor sleep = more pain. My heart breaks for you. Our next life will be amazing! Do your best but if you suicide I believe God is merciful. Love to you.

I dealt with my chronic pain for around 25 years in essentially the same manner, however the last 3 years i have been experimenting with a different approach with great results. My pain frequently goes down to level 2 or 3 and what would have been a good day years ago 6-7 level is now a spike for me . I did this by instead of fighting the pain , i now listen to it very carefully and respect it , i try and find the “ tension “ before i feel the pain. I have worked on improving my breathing, using Vagus nerve exercises to release the chronic tension and stress that goes with chronic pain . I have also been learning to move and walk differently using Feldenkrais techniques and understanding the mind body connection. I learnt everything from KZread videos for free, I now move and stand better than i ever have , my stress level is much , much lower and I am really starting to enjoy life again. I do still have some bad days but they are much easier to deal with than before . I highly recommend looking up - Sukie Baxter for Vagus nerve massage for stress and anxiety “ . Taro Iwamoto for retraining your mind and body so you can move more easily, and looking into Dr John Sarnos work on the mind body connection. Understanding how poor medical advice can affect you eg “the Nocebo effect “ is very important- i was told that I would always be in pain and could never stand up properly too - not true -i now have full back mobility and still get a bit of vertigo as i stand about 3 inches taller than i used to. I hope this gives hope to anyone reading this that chronic pain can be managed much better than you may now currently believe, nothing i do is exceptionally difficult- if anything the trick is to do everything calmly and slowly and overtime reprogram your body and and mind to move with ease.

Thanks Robert . I found Dr John Sarno's work about 6 weeks ago and from there, Dr Howard Schubiner and there are many more doctors and psychotherapists who are working with more current ways of addressing chronic pain. I’m not recovered from chronic back and hip pain yet but I’m hopeful and feel I have nothing to lose to look at different ideas around healing. I don’t want to be remembered for my courage around unrelenting pin; I want to be remembered as the person who healed from it.

@@vitamind6355 good luck with it , i think it’s important to try different approaches as everyone is different, i find i can easily slip back into old patterns both thought wise and movement/ posture wise . Making your own health and wellbeing a priority and daily practise seems to be the key out of it and excepting that sometimes relapses happen - best of luck - there are some great resources on you tube , recently ive been enjoying various somatic exercises

God bless you all! How about a video on Kratom? I’ve got severe spinal damage, crohn’s disease & I survived long Covid. The only reason I’m still able to work full-time and get in the gym and enjoy myself at home in moderation is the discovery and proper use of Kratom along with lots of prayers & mobility work. 💫
