[quote=Anonymous]This is the saddest post that I think that I've ever read on DCUM. I suffer from a chronic neurological disorder and I know that there are many individuals who suffer alongside me. We cannot point to the pain and people cannot see it (because it's tucked away in our central nervous system and brains) so most people just dismiss it. It really is such a terrible situation to be in. Luckily for me, I have an incredibly supportive family. But this thread hammers home why there is such a high rate of suicide for chronic pain sufferers across the board. And yes, some of the neurologist that I've seen along the way have ben just as arrogant and condescending so it is important to keep looking for a physician who will take us seriously. I've known many patients who've gone misdiagnosed for decades and told that it's "only in their heads" to find out years later that they have a very real, and very treatable, CSF leak, autoimmune disorder or other ailment. It's just so sad because if someone - anyone - had cared or listened in the beginning they wouldn't have had to suffer for so many years. People are just jerks. [/quote]
