How many definitions for chronic pain can there be? It doesn’t stop and I have to be really honest here, it all sounds like hogwash for a person who was unstoppable and prior to her injury had the stamina of a bull (as a friend once described me).

I struggle with the explanation that my brain is protecting me… It makes no sense that my mind would want Soula to be like this, why it doesn’t stick to the occasional low pain levels if it recognises them, and above all, if my brain is so damn smart why is it stuck in pain land since 2007!!!!!! Can we please get on with life brain.. can you please just get over it?

Rant over…
