@vilfy said: You are certainly not being whiny. That’s a very unkind thing to ask of someone when they express their pain. A condition being chronic never justifies flippancy and callousness regarding its symptoms.
I really appreciate it... like, some extra added context is that someone made a joke about my chronic pain that I DID find funny, because it was less like. Sounding annoyed at me for having it and more acknowledging that I hurt almost all the time in a funny way?
I hadn't even said anything about... well. Actually having a headache at that moment because it wasn't affecting me really, it was just annoying, so being asked that kinda had me just like. Um... please don't do that.
