I Am Tired of Having to Explain My Pain and Need of Pain Meds

How many people are in the same boat as me. I've been dealing with Rheumatoid arthritis since 2005. Unfortunately, the last few years this condition has gotten worse. I'm on strong pain meds but the DEA & CDC believe that my condition is not painful. There's is days I can't get out of bed. Cant sleep because Everytime I move it wakes me up. Not sure if anyone has been in the same shoes. Would do anything to be able to get up and go to sleep without any pain. my right ankle. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday
