    chiism1 is gone 4 good

    I don't, my fiance' stays away when I am sick or in pain, he likes to be coddled but I hate it myself, it doesn't help me feel better, I like to just be left alone to rest or "deal". I have lower and mid backpain since a really bad car wreck a few years back, it never goes away, it subsides but is always there, can't do much physical labor without pain meds

    I think it's the nature of the beast. we're in pain, stay away so I can suffer in peace. I don't want people around to watch and pity me. Or hear me suffer or when I grunt. Just leave me alone.

    You are not the only one. I want the environment quiet and I want to be alone.

    I am exactly the same. The pain makes me irritable sometimes and I just can't concentrate on what people are saying, nor do I want to. The pain is all consuming. I empathize with you. :(

    I get that way, but yhen my freinds force me out of the house, becuse it can get to the point you get depressed from always being alone and in pain.

    i have to be alone because my mood changes and you don't want to be around me. i even refuse to talk on the phone.
    i only allow my 13 year old poodle with me in bed. i am bed ridden because of this back pain and now on the patch, fentanyl.

    Sometimes I'd rather be alone, with just my cat, when I'm in pain, especially after I've had the nerve block/anti-inflammatory shots, because until they kick in, the injection area is VERY sore. My peer-support workers don't always understand why I get the shots. It's either deal with the pain that way, or go back to Percocet, which I'd rather not do. And I find that when someone has a mental illness, some doctors who don't know about chronic PHYSICAL pain, will try to find some 'emotional' reason, and be extremely skeptical about treating you. I can understand that concern, especially here in lawsuit-happy America.
    That's why I have a pain-management specialist who treats me.

    Sorry if I ranted, but my Tika knows how to comfort me, with her purring and gentle touch, and by staying by my side.

    You are not the only one. When I am sick, I want my bedroom, my bed, my 2 cats, and that is all. Everyone else, go away!

    For me it depends on the pain. If someone else can help relieve it (foot, back) they are welcomed to stay.

    I prefer to be left alone when I'm in pain but I like to have someone in the house in case I need them.
    My partner is really good like that, he stays out of my way but checks in on me occasionally.

    Im the same way. I have 5 ruptured hernaited disk. Pinching both nerves in both legs. I hurt so bad at times I do get actting like a a--hole and the wife cant stand me. Some times I hurt so bad I sit and cry. Now I'm living by myself and my 2 dogs and when I fall I have to crawl to the couch or bed. I cant walk alot of times. The doctors have no idea how I am able to walk due to the pain Im in. But I can't do anything because of my 2 dogs I can't leave my babies alone in the house.
