  • Individuals who suffer from chronic pain often present with significant medical and psychiatric comorbidities that can exacerbate the pain experience and contribute to a further erosion of quality of life and disability. Suicide is a serious side effect of chronic pain.

      I'm very sorry for your suffering. I completely relate. I've been going through different diseases for 10+ years. It's taken my Independence and I'm in constant debilitating pain.
      I just found out I have to have another serious surgery, that *might* fix one source of pain, but it'll be very painful getting there if it works, and won't really change my QOL, and frankly, all I can think is "I hope I don't wake up", or that I shouldn't even make it there.
      I hope they can figure out something that can greatly decrease your suffering so your long life ahead will be vastly better.

      @@kaylonrome it took 9 months, butt I finally found a surgeon. However, I'm sure he doesn't fully understand the risks of doing surgery on me. I started having severe edema almost 2 years ago that they still haven't figured out the cause or how to treat it. When it gets bad, it's unbearable on its own. When I first got sick, I woke up one day permanently legally blind, and not in a way that glasses or surgery can help. They're pretty sure the immense inflammation from the illness caused the blindness, so surgery could easily causes further damage to my vision. Last, I have Mastocytosis, which causes anaphylaxis. Anxiety and anesthesia are big triggers. I can't imagine having any of these complications during recovery. I don't want to think about how painful that would be, but I'm certain it would be intolerable, and none of my doctors know how to prevent it.
      Because of all of this, I'm terrified to have the surgery. I don't think I have it in me to fight through that level of pain/illness any more. I don't know what to do.

      I feel the same, chronic pain that no one can treat makes you want to be gone, anything to get out of pain. It steals every good thing from our lives, and makes you wonder why you tried to live your life with kindness and doing everything to be healthy and make a contribution, be a good person. If this kind of endless suffering is what comes next, then it all stops making sense. And it makes you feel so alone, even when people are making the obligatory visit to their poor friend, you feel alone since their lives are so different from ours. Pain is all there is, and the only happiness is the short lived relief that occasionally comes for an hour or a minute or two. I just wish doctors could be compassionate and help people go without losing their licenses, so that we could go painlessly like our pets do, when we put them down after they no longer have any joy in being alive. Mercy. Let everyone go on and enjoy life, but let me off this very painful hook. I have wished to be gone each day these past three years, and I just get more pain but no release. Sad for all of us, we should have a way to find relief. We are the brave people, living with pain is the hardest thing there is, life is right here but you cannot have it any longer. I love life when I have a level of pain less than 6, and as it climbs I lose the ability. I can pretend, but no feeling there, just desire for escape and fear of more pain in future.

      I started having nightmares that my feet were being amputated and would wake in the middle of the night and find my ankle socks had to be peeled out of my ankles because of the swelling overnight. It's caused quite a bit of scarring.
      {I finally bought socks that are too big, to wear at night so if I swell, it doesn't cut into my skin...But sometimes I forget, as I can't wear the big socks with shoes, and will fall asleep without putting on my night socks.}

    About 3 years ago, I struggled with swallowing difficulties and painful swallowing problems. During this period, I lost excess weight. After that, nothing was the same. After that, I was seeing life through a smoke screen. Eating began to be difficult for me. In this process, reflux, gastritis diagnosis I bought it. Not only that, I have defecation problems and intestinal problems. Chronic diarrhea affected my student life negatively. I started using medication but it didn't affect me much. I also have severe constipation attacks. I am a student in my dream department, but now my chronic health problems are keeping me from life. My economic situation is not good at all. I am a poor person. If I was healthy, I really had a great determination to realize my dreams. Right now I am living with the fears swirling in my head. Fear of dying by drowning, not being able to eat I'm afraid of dying because of it. I feel more tempted to commit suicide instead. At least I can choose how I want to end my life. Uncertainty destroys me so much. But I don't have the courage to do that. I'm so afraid of suffering. I don't want to live life like that anymore. I miss my beautiful days. I want my soul to take to the sky in peace. I have other chronic problems. Overactive bladder, orthodontic problems, tooth decay, jaw problems, Stomach problems... And the sad thing is that I would have all these at 23. Maybe if I wasn't poor,I would have fought better. I have worked so hard to achieve my dreams, to overcome my poverty. But my health problems are pulling me down like the limbs of a monster. I feel that life and myself are insignificant. I watch from afar like an astronaut these beauties.

    I've had depression before and on a scale of 1-10 it was a 3 in terms of suicidality. Chronic Pain is much worse! It makes suicide seem like a reasonable choice, it's completely different, a 9 out of 10 in terms of suicidality.

    This July of 2023 I 'celebrated' my 30th year of Chronic Pain due to Inoperable Spinal Damage. Despite seeing a dozen specialists over 20 years I didn't even KNOW what was wrong with me until a Chiropractor discovered it in 2013.
    I bounced around a number of different pain doctors, but they all couldn't deal with the level of my disability, until I finally found one who could in 2015. Finally getting close to the level of pain meds I needed, I could pretend to be normal for a time. Then in early 2017, my Doctor cut back drastically on what I was given, because he was afraid of the DEA going after him. I am now on roughly 20% of the meds I got in 2015.
    This disability has destroyed my hobbies, my career & my marriage. I struggled with suicidal temptation constantly since I was 22, but these last 8 years have been brutal. If I were not a Christian, if it were not for the power of the Holy Spirit, I absolutely would have jumped off this Merry-Go-Round decades ago.

      Since I have suffered from migraines for almost 30 years, some form of daily headache I figured out how to get some relief when I get a driller behind my eye or neck stiff as can be level 9 shit. I was checked out for two years. Couldn’t figure it out. Aspirin with caffeine a lot and ice packs could help. My guy started three years after migraines and again found nothing for a constant level 2-6 ache. But nortriptyline 100mg masked it fairly well but many flairs. Chronic fatigue, insomnia I figure ls out how to have a good job and did well and have two kids in my 30’s. I lived with pain but funny thing never called it chronic. I didn’t bitch much just let me lay down after work with ice pack some days. I coached sports, vacations lived life. Till one day in spring of 2018 my gut hurt more than usual. It went on and the nortriptyline quit working much. By 2019 I knew I was screwed but kept trying and had some hope. Though summer 19 couldn’t even handle a vacation. It slowly got worse pain in middle of guts from sternum to pelvic. At least 60 meds tried, dozen nerve blocks, steroids, many er visits and stays so many tests and labs. Had to quit working sept 2021. Not healthy enough to volunteer much because can’t count on my health. Ketamine, food diet specialist, gall bladder out because I was starving myself with no appetite lost 50 in 10 months not eating. Exploratory surgery last year last try and even went to sierra Tucson clinic. Have spent 100k or more and can’t find will to live. I came from clinic with new attitude and pain was 4.5-6 for two months then out of nowhere blew up to a 10 in five days. Er hospital a joke. Did nothing. Kicked me out after a week. Said go see old pain specialist we got nothing for you. Chronic pain the invisible illness that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. 15% of suicides are due to what we all are explaining. It’s a lonely existence because it’s you trap in this body. Know body can fathom how hard it is. Worst than cancer, ms, diabetes at least you know what it is and have a chance.

I had a pinched nerve and I needed surgery. No doctor would help me get my decompression surgery! I had to hire a nurse advocate to assist me in procuring my life saving and sanity sparing surgery. Doctors gas light people who have invisible injuries. I was diagnosed with cyclothymia which was nonsense. I had a severe athletic injury and I was brushed off! CPP have no voice and no rights!
