Hi Lunafay.I'm so sorry for your suffering.I have severe chronic pain myself-over 40yrs.My dr RX me Vicodin 60mg a day-the max.It started no to work anymore so I weaned myself off.He wanted to try something else but I'm afraid that the CDC fools will cut me down or totally off.Do you do anything to distract yourself like reading,watching comedy on youtube,listening to your favorite music?I'm pretty much on the computer a lot.I can't work as I can barely walk.These things help me to forget for awhile.I do know about all the negative feelings as I get them all myself.I wish you all the best Bob
