A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a friend who thinks that I am putting it on, when I say that I am in pain, as she just says, well you look good, are you sure you have pain, this really hurts me inside. Do any of you have friends or family who think that the pain is in your head?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member
