Wow, that Miss Kitty sure knows how to take care of herself! My sailing days are well behind me due to risk of injury. So it is really wonderful of you to virtually take us along on your journey. The details you share – even the everyday stuff like laundry day – are seeds for dreams.

FredFriend replied to the topic Distraction; a viable intervention for pain in the forum General Discussions on Pain 9 years, 6 months ago
Distraction is my favorite pain coping technique. I too use TV in that category for and it is stuff I’ve recorded or access through a streaming option like NetFlix. My big challenge this week is to refrain from binge watching Season 3 of Orange Is The New Black. To avoid getting hypnotized by the box, I try to limit my watching to lunchtime, meal…[Read more]

FredFriend replied to the topic Handicap Parking – Do you get questioned? in the forum General Discussions on Pain 9 years, 6 months ago
Ugh! Yes, too often. Just last Saturday night a silver haired man in a parking garage chose to loudly make disparaging remarks to his companion speculating on the ‘mental’ disability I must have since I was clearly able bodied and taking up a handicap spot. Hubby and I didn’t want to engage in a discussion with this surly person at 10:30 PM after…[Read more]

FredFriend replied to the topic I'm new, in need of friendship and hope in the forum Welcome to The Pain Community 9 years, 7 months ago
Oh, SirenDestiny, it sounds like you are in a big transition phase. I urge you to keep moving forward to find new joy as I have. (I’m in my 50’s now) In my 20’s and 30’s I kept having to give up jobs to find something more compatible with my pain condition(s) and ultimately stopped working in my mid-30’s because my body couldn’t keep up.

FredFriend replied to the topic Hi everyone! in the forum Welcome to The Pain Community 9 years, 7 months ago
Hi GiGi,
Sorry that you have so many issues with pain. I have stenosis in a few spots in mys spine and have never been a surgical candidate. Things are manageable for me with meditation, exercise, massage, heat and acupuncture.
I’m glad you have found TPC’s discussion forums and chat for support. -

Thank you for this. It is so hard to know when it is okay to plan stuff and when it will be okay to tentatively plan something.
A couple of weeks ago I had to back out of a commitment at the last minute due to […]
