Just Learn to Live with It

This bothers me. I heard this from a parent this week. She was told that her child would have to "learn to live with it."

They give you a chronic pain or chronic disease diagnosis, a label with all the meds that go with it. It is supposed to treat your disease and alleviate your pain. Maybe you feel some relief. But you don't ever get sustained, long lasting relief. And you tell your doctors. They are doing the best they can with what they know. After all, they are the specialists, but with only one point of view, the biochemical point of view.

This statement is a sure sign that there is not very much left for the patient. The open minded ones do not say this. The caring ones will be honest and blunt and leave the door for you to search other options.

watch and see what i mean:
