Answers:
I have chronic pain as well, and I've also lashed out at my family!. We know we are doing it!. If she's in extreme pain, she's going to have to learn to leave the room when she's like that!. If she's always angry, frustrated and sad then perhaps get some better meds and also think about counseling!.
Chronic pain is extremely hard to go through!. I know I don't just have to worry about daily stresses, but also if my pain is going to make me unable to do anything!. It has the power to make you helpless and just get so frustrating that you can't take it!. It weighs down on your shoulders, and for awhile can just make you stop being yourself!.
I think she's having trouble dealing with it!. But it's the wrong thing for you guys to just let your lash out!. My family had to deal with me, and I had to learn that I can't take out my pain on them!. It isn't that she means to, at least I don't believe so, things just get more annoying easier when you are in tons of pain!. If you've ever had extreme cramps, and then got annoyed easily, amplify it to the highest degree you can think of and you'll see how hard it is to walk around with!.
Counseling will help, but you can't lead a horse to water!. If she wants to live her life letting her pain control her, then that's her choice!. But unless she wants to better herself and live her life as her, you guys need to stop letting her step on you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As a chronic pain sufferer, I understand her!. She can no longer do the things she used to be able to do!. Try sitting her down and explaining the situation and asking her what she would like you guys to do to improve her situation!.
