Oh, oops, once again I communicate poorly!
No no.
My migraines left me at menopause, but they did cause me to have not much of a life for 25 years and the treatments were prohibitively expensive for me even with insurance.
The (separate) chronic illness was and is being successfully managed.
I wouldn't be here if I was in that kind of pain, I'd be in bed.
I have no current complaints...but give me time!
I was just saying I understand the changes that happen in one's psyche with pain.
But thank you for your kindness. This is all about you, K. I am merely trying to empathize.
...and apparently not getting it right.
