Are you sure your meds are working for you? I don't know that you should be in that much pain if your meds are working well. I'd call and cuss out my doctor demand a recount.

The point is the periods when we don't feel that bad. Doesn't help when the pain is upon us but, to be fair, when we feel okay we don't quite remember the pain, just the thoughts about the pain and that it was bad. I got really really good at waiting for the better times.
