Good for them.

- Too many medications. I couldn't go on holiday for just a weekend without 3 different pain killers.

- Too many doctors/ hospital appointments. The receptionist knows your name by now!

- Too many attempted treatments, to the point they're actually just making you go through the same ones again

- You actually know your pain/ condition better than your doctor

- Unpredictable.

- Flare-ups
