I am also a sufferer of chronic pain. I have a condition that drives many to suicide by the time they are my age (43). I take a number of medications and constantly adjust things in my life to work with how I feel on any given day. I live in a country where many of the meds I prefer are not available, and must be purchased online.
You ask how can you keep living like this? Because it beats the hell out of the alternative! If this is your challenge in this life, please, rise to it. Do whatever it takes to live with what you have. I look at each day as a challenge to find a solution to whatever the pain-du-jour is, or the b.s.-du-jour whether it be work, society, the medical community, whatever, rather than a reason to withdraw. I'm not saying anything about what you have or what you take for it. I understand the hell of it, and the hoops to jump, and the bullshit involved sometimes with Dr.'s, insurance, pharmacies, and the rest when all you want is a day of peace. Whatever you do to find relief, just don't give up. Solutions are all around you, just keep driving till you find them.
