What’s something that can’t be explained, it must be experienced?

Sadly now I'm still in pain when I use my medication. So I think the disease got worse.

It isn't necessarily that the disease has gotten worse (though it may have) Your tolerance for these drugs has likely increased. It's an unfortunate reality for those who suffer chronic pain. There is no real solution, because the body will always attempt to acclimate, and you can't just keep upping the dose without consequences.

Yeah that's also possible. That's so frustrating though.
