Struggling with Chronic Pain and Doctors' Disbelief

I’m struggling with doctors taking my constant pain seriously they just assume I’m drug seeking when I beg them to at least attempt to find out why I hurt this much daily I’ve lost my job due to my health it’s affecting my relationship we’re not fighting or anything my man takes good care of me but when I’m in so much pain I break down crying and have pain induced panic attacks I know it kills him inside he feels so bad when he can’t comfort me he tries his best and I appreciate it I’m just scared one day he’s going to grow tired of dealing with my health issues so I started taking 1000 mgs of fish oil once a day because I heard it helps with the inflammation and I’m wondering if anyone else takes fish oil to reduce the inflammation and pain and if so how much do you take and how many times a day. It truly sucks when you’re a recovered addict and also a chronic pain patient because when I get sick and the pain flares up the first thoughts are that I must have relapsed so they test me for drugs find nothing but marijuana in my system and instead of running more tests I get set home. And when they don’t assume it’s a relapse they assume I’m just drug seeking. I just want to know why I’m constantly in intense pain. So I really need the fish oil to help at least a little bit. I want some of my life back before the pain drives me crazy and I have a psychotic episode. Sorry for the long rant I don’t have alot of people who will listen or try to understand. I have like two people who will listen to my problems and one of those people is my boyfriend so I only have like one friend who cares. Okay rant over my fingers hurt lol I welcome any advice for remedies I can try but keep in mind I’m on a tight budget so free or cheap things are preferable. Thank you in advance for help.
