I don't have chronic pain but it's the same with tinnitus.
Yeah when I first started hearing the ringing, I thought my life was gonna be awful from that point on and I just wanted to give up. Now I hardly notice it most of the time but it's still pretty annoying when I do notice it and I'd love to hear silence again.
It's amazing how well the brain can adapt to this stuff. Now I only notice it when my blood pressure is high, which is kinda useful.
I was born with this shit, idk what silence really sounds like :(
Same, every now and then I'll get hopeful and do some research on the latest attempts to find a cure. Usually just end up more bummed about the situation haha
I'm sure the constant "noise" grinds down on your nerves just as much as constant pain.
Im sorry you are going through this.
