Having arthritis in my hands I have found gloves are an absolute must. Spring, Summer, Fall & winter, you can find me wearing gloves.
At my local CVS, I found white cotton gloves. The box calls them, Dermatological Cotton gloves and you get 2 pair in the box for around $5 dollars. They are great for helping to keep the medication on my hands.…[Read more]

FredFriend,

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your friend. I love the sign tool idea. I cared for my in-laws for many years. My mother-in-law had diabetes. We came up with a word that she could say when she was having issues with low blood sugar. She didn’t have to worry about trying to explain what was happening, all she had to do was say…[Read more]

Bd,

We are happy to have you back. The journey of pain is one that is unpredictable. Sometimes before we even realize what is happening, it sneaks up on us to make sure we are still paying attention to it.

We look forward to reading more here about the Lonoh and Ms. Kitty and on the other forum, Mumblings of a Hermit.

Shadowbox,

Your words speak of hope and renewal. Two key things that we as people living with pain need to have close by in our lives.
The journey of pain is a long & hard road to navigate. We sometimes lock ourselves away from the world around us because pain can be and is dark, lonely, frustrating and over-whelming. We search to find the light…[Read more]

Alexia,

Hello, it is nice to meet you but I do wish it was under better circumstances. We here at TPC are so very sorry that you have been shamed for living with pain.

The stigma that is out there is doing so much harm to people who live with pain. We are working to change the stigma so people living with pain are not shamed and are not put in…[Read more]

Hello Deep,

I am so sorry to hear about the crisis you had. It is so important for each of us to find healthcare providers who will search to find out what is causing our pain. Having the right diagnosis means everything because then we can work with our providers to set a plan in place to help ease the pain.

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

Hello Deep,

I am sorry you have been having issues with starting a new topic. I have started a topic for ARD and CAPPS under the forum titled, “General Discussions on Pain”. If I can help you with anything further, please let me know.

It is nice to meet you. Please know you are not alone.

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!

I would have never thought of how a boat would be set up to help like you described. After reading your post it made perfect sense. I am enjoying all the photo’s. Keep them coming.
Take Care

I am so happy that you have found a place to call home where you have folks around you that care. Finding a community where everyone looks out for each other is not an easy thing to do these days. People are either too busy with life or just don’t take the time to meet neighbors. 10 years ago I knew all of my neighbors on this block. It isn’t like…[Read more]
