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

When I initially went through chemo treatment I was given opiates designed for cancer patients- I didn’t have to ask.
Now?
It’s like I have to beg. ☹️
I’m doing my best to get my health back but if I can’t even sleep I’m not getting well. I shouldn’t have to suffer.

I completely understand after going through shingles. Too many people are way undermedicated because the drug got abused. I would think there would be more common sense when prescribing. Certain conditions are well known for their pain level.

I don't know if you could get to a pain clinic and get better management that way? I hope you find relief.
