Again, Twitter polls are not scientific but in this survey almost half of all CPPs rely on someone else to get to medical appointments. This adds another layer of vulnerability and is another source is stress and anxiety.
Every day, I’m impressed with the selfless behavior of chronic pain patients during times of personal adversity. I don’t think there’s a group of people who’ve been more mistreated & maligned. There are purported ‘healers’ who’ve built academic careers on mistreating CPPs.

Refused to live with my life in someone else's hands.
Treated like a criminal, looked at with suspicion even though I was doing NOTHING wrong.
Maybe I'm stupid.
You may have your meds today, but how about tomorrow?
