Kerria,
Pain management docs are very careful.
If I were seeing a doc like that, I would have to talk with him about it. I would calmly and respectfully tell him that I have felt he might not believe I am in pain, and ask him if it was true.
I would try to have a calm and honest converstaion with him.I need pain meds fairly rarely, only a couple of times a month, so I don't use much. But when I have to ask for a refill on Percocet, I am always afraid the doc will say no. In which case, I am without my rescue meds. I'm sure my psychiatrist would talk to the doc if I ever had an instance where a doc didn't want to refill my script.
As for the nasty people on the web, honey, thingscan get really ugly out here, and what I do is just get up and leave. I've only done that once, actually, but people got mean, so I came here, where people are - or at least seem - honestly caring and supportive.
You might want to watch out for the victim thing, though. We aren't other people's victims - we're leading our own lives, and choosing our own adventures. :-)
