i have central pain syndrome. in 90% of cases it occurs after a stroke. because i didnt have a stroke the doctors wont listen to me. even if they did listen to me, 99% of doctors dont know about it and there are no medications that can help. im sure opiates would help me stop caring, but because of my drug history that wont even touch that. the worst bit about it is in comes in cycles, it had been gone (or managable) since march and i got to the point i was so positive i was healing and then suddenly last thursday i just crashed. never been so miserable and in pain and wanting to die. im supposed to go away on saturday and im so scared becuase it is about 7 degrees hotter there (which makes it worse) and i am alone for 8 days with my own horrible negative thoughts
