You could absolutely be describing me! I don't know how many times I have ended up getting really angry/aggressive in my GP's office. It took me a long time to realise that it was pain that was doing that. I tried to tell GP that if I ever came in angry, she should immediately ask me if I am taking enough pain meds, but she seems to forget. I haven't been quite as bad since I increased my codeine though. Used to only take 25 mg a couple of times a day. now I take 60 mg at least 3 times a day and sometimes four. I really hate how I have become dependant on Codeine to get me through the day without getting so angry, but right now I don't have any options, so I try not to think about it.

I hope you find at least one person in your health system who really recognises what you are going through and will fight your corner.
