Hi Terri,

We found this to be such a huge problem and concern for people living with pain that we started…[Read more]

1fortunateone1,

I somehow missed your reply please accept my apologies. How are you doing now? Has the additional pain eased as you were hoping it would do? I do hope that you have found some relief for the pain.

I also want to invite you to check out the, Outreach Support Conference calls every Tuesday where you can talk to others who are also…[Read more]

Hi Alpha Mode,

Hi 1fortunateone1,

Have you received a diagnosis on why you are having the severe back pain? I too suffer with back pain and once I had a diagnosis of why I was having the pain, my healthcare team then searched for the treatments that were better suited for my pain needs.
I have degenerative joint disease and the disc have deteriorated so I have…[Read more]

We understand that it can be very difficult and frustrating to find the right words to use when we talk to healthcare providers.

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,
