Alexia,

First let me say, how truly sorry I am you have been treated so horrible. No one….No one.. should every shame you for being in pain.

With that being said, I do feel that my spirit is fulfilled in a different way now. I still have all the beliefs I held as a child growing up in church the only difference is…[Read more]

FredFriend,

First let me say, thank you, for sharing the beautiful journey that you went on with your dear friend. I also want to share my sympathy for the loss of such a wonderful friend. I have found over the years that when I have been called to duty to be a caregiver for a friend or loved one that my pain goes to the back burner. I do not…[Read more]

This ARD & CAPPS sounds so scary. I am happy to meet you, Deep. I love to make new friends.
I have a list of pain issues but the one that sounds a little similar is the struggle I have with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I know the pain that can come with the muscles cramping has made me feel as if I was going to pass-out before. Thankfully my…[Read more]

We are happy that you have found The…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing,

The games are a great tool to have in our pain toolbox to help us distract from the pain. You can find really fun games for free in the app stores on smart phones and tablets.
Since my grandson got me hooked on playing Minecraft Pocket Edition with him I have even started my own little world.
The building and creating takes my mind off the…[Read more]

Jrzygrl201,

Ii is so wonderful that so many of us who live with pain have found that playing games on our computers, smart phones, tablets or gaming systems helps distract us. We can leave the pain in the real world while we escape into a world of play & fun.

Keep gaming!

This is so much fun seeing both of you together. BD, you could pass for a member of ZZ Top!!

BD and Marinesargeant meet face to face after talking with each other for years online.

For many of us here at TPC, we have been talking to each other online for years and we found TPC to call our online home. It is always so wonderful when one or more of us get to do the face to face meet-ups.

BD, I know I speak for all of us old timers when I say it is so nice to see you.
