I’m not lying.
I’ve been saying this for a few years.
It takes me 3 days to recuperate from taking a shower.
I’m sure ‘most people’ don’t believe me.
Why would I make up something that makes me sound so fucking weak?
It’s the truth.

Whether or not the #opioids end up working will vary between patients (for many differing reasons), but ALL #PainPatients deserve #PainRelief and they all deserve the chance to find out if opioids will help them. —TMS.

Upper left corner, purple fibromyalgia awareness ribbon, words in white on purple background: “MAY IS FIBROMYALGIA EDUCATION AND AWARENESS MONTH” Screenshots of a post on my (Todd M. Stein) Facebook page. Words in black on white background: “(Q) Do you know what you don't get when you're chronically ill with assorted chronic pain conditions and chronic fatigue & chronic headaches plus chronic back & neck aches, arthritis, osteoarthritis, spinal arthritis, occipital neuralgia, bilateral temple nerve compression, neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities, pelvic floor dysfunction, dysphasia swallowing disorder, heart disease, type two diabetes, IBS-M/GI issues/acid reflux/hiatal hernia, brain fog and diagnosed memory loss, plus many other items on your ever growing list of accompanying conditions, diagnoses & symptoms, even if you don't work and you don't leave your house - even if you spend the whole day on the couch or in bed - or even if you sleep all day & night long? (A) What you don't get is a day off. You don't get caught up" on rest. You don't get anything but another day served on your lifetime sentence of being chronically ill and in pain. —TMS.” (Borrowed clip art that says: “Chronic Pain is Exhausting.” All along the full bottom, in green print: “Todd M. Stein, Chronic Pain Patient and Advocate”

People don’t have any idea how bad my pain is unless they’ve been in so much pain they can’t/couldn’t take a simple shower & the 3 places they’ve been for at least 3 weeks are their bed, the bathroom & their couch.
