Hi Ryan,

It is nice to meet you. We all need at least one person who we can be totally honest with when discussing our journey’s of pain.

I have been living with pain for 30 years so I get it. I also understand where you are coming from regarding Zoom meet-ups. It can be hard to stop the tears when we are talking about the pain and all that goes…[Read more]
