See, and my immediate reaction to this comment is, "Oh god, no, I don't have chronic pain issues"... though I guess now that I think about it, multiple headaches a week probably do count as that. But I hadn't considered applying the label, because they're not that bad. And I don't have to deal with period pain anymore (or periods! Thank you Mirena!) but I guess that would have counted as chronic pain too, and I never thought of it that way.
I definitely don't have it as bad as you, for sure, but I am trying to accept that this doesn't mean my not-as-bad pain isn't worth acknowledging. I appreciate the offer to talk--and I hope you know you can always text me if you need an ear, too. ♥
