Do you think Gaga will become a spokesperson/advocate for chronic pain?

Unfortunately, I don't think people are going to put too much thought into the more resources aspect—this happens even without a celebrity opening up about their struggles. I've had people tell me that their friend has the same thing and they're still capable of working, doing this and that, etc and ask me why I can't do the same without realizing that everyone/situations are different. People like that usually don't change their opinions as much as it sucks and you just have to let it go 99% of the time. It's been a long battle before she opened up to the community which hopefully can change over time. If Gaga can even change one person's mind, I'd consider that a success.  

Thats terrible andIm sorry you have to deal with uneducated people like that. I don't understand how people just assume that same disorder = same severity of symptoms. There is literally no disorder or disease that effects two people the same way, even a simple case of a cold.

Sometimes you just have to accept that you can't change peoples opinions, y'know?  You can try to educate but the people who will fight you to the death on that aren't really worth the time. I agree though, logic is usually out the window!
