A Journey Through Chronic Pain

I don’t know how many blogs I have read with posts about chronic pain. Many. But there is this common thought in many that the experience of feeling pain can and is tempered by the situation in which we find ourselves.  If we are in a good place, happy, content, then somehow the level of pain can be diminished somewhat. If we are in a place where our lives are driven by stress, then our experience is much more intense.  I know this is very much a generalization. But I have found that for me anyhow, it is true.  Friends, family, loved ones all help keep us on an even keel. But one thing is also apparent. That there are times when nothing helps, nothing tempers the level of pain and no amount of peace or solitude or contentment will reduce the level of pain. Pure and simple.
