Hi Stevie,
It is nice to meet you. We are so happy you have joined us here at TPC. We would like to invite you to check out our live hosted chats here at TPC. The chats are Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 11:00am Eastern Time. The chats are a wonderful community of people who are looking for support and friendship.
You will meet new friends who truly understand the journey of living with chronic pain.We also have the discussion forums where you can read and respond to topics or start a new topic.
Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation. We hope that your trip was with low pain and lots of happy memories.

Thank you YaYa!
I had a wonderful trip and am really grateful all three of my kids are finally past the college stage. I’d love to participate in the chats, but 11am is 8am on the West Coast, and given that I’m a little slow in the mornings, it will be a challenge to be awake and alert, to keep up with East Coasters. 🙂 I’ve been trying to shift my sleep cycle for the last few years, but am having a really difficult time. I don’t know if it is really all in my head (I have pituitary disease,) or if it’s “just” “all in my head.” But it is something to motivate me to give getting up earlier another try.
In the meantime, may I ask how many total members are registered with paincommunity.org? I found this site from Dr. Leavitt’s Pain Topics, which has been such a wonderful resource for me. I’ve been unable to find what I thought was the sister site for Pain Topics, the one that had all of the past articles and such. Does anyone know what has happened to it?
Again, thanks for the welcome,
Stevie
Hi Stevie,
We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful trip.
As you may know the main Pain Topics website has closed, but the blog is still up and you can find it at, http://updates.pain-topics.org/.
Dr. Leavitt will continue to update the blog periodically.
Dr. Leavitt chose The Pain Community to keep the wonderful Pain Topic resources available.
We have started by adding the PDF resources from Pain Topics and you can find them on our Resource page. It is an on-going process to continue adding more resources that were formerly on Pain Topics here on the TPC website. Please check back often and help spread the word that Pain Topic resources can be found here at TPC.
We currently have around 424 people registered for forums and chats and around 750 registered for the newsletter.
I have posted this reply here under your personal status update and have also posted on the discussion forums where you first made your introduction post on the “Welcome to The Pain Community” forum.
We can continue to communicate at the location you chose or both locations. However, if we communicate on the discussion forums others may like to join in our discussion.
We do understand that the hosted chats are early on the West Coast. We do hope that you will be able to join us when you can.
