We are so sorry to read what you and your husband are going through. We are unable to give you any names for specific healthcare providers however have you tried searching for a new provider using the American Medical Association’s “doctorfinder”?

We do hope that this…[Read more]

I would like to share a couple different ways that…[Read more]

Hi Barb,

No apology needed for making a long post. The forums here at The Pain Community are here for you. We want you to have a safe place to vent, ramble, to get support and to give support. We understand that it can be very difficult and frustrating to find the right words to use when we talk to healthcare providers.

We would like to invite…[Read more]

I think it is scary for those who are closet to us because they can fully see our health declining.
Also if they are close to us and see us all the time, the change can be dramatic from one day to the next and that can and is shocking for them.

You are right about the look in their eyes and us being able to tell from looking at them if they get…[Read more]

Ms. Kitty,

I am so glad that your son got to come for a visit. We do tend to over-do when we have family or friends come for a visit.

Sounds like Ms. Kitty has gotten very comfortable with her surroundings and from reading her post on the other forum she has made a few friends (even though she would never admit that).

Our weather has turned cold at night…[Read more]

Awww Ms. Kitty we know you are a sweetie underneath the grumpy exterior. You are so kind to let them come aboard to visit from time to time.
