One common complaint I see on /r/fibromyalgia and /r/chronicpain is the questions chronic pain sufferers get asked about if they tried some random stuff, sometimes followed by an “it worked for me for my random non-chronic pain. “Your all body hurts? Try Yoga”.
These questions can be more than annoying. They can be irritating. I won’t judge the intention when people ask these questions; I only wonder if they really think people living with chronic pain haven’t tried everything they could possibly imagine to relieve the pain.
Of course we want to live with constant pain and have our life fucked up. Who wouldn’t?!
