Over a series of Share Posts I plan to discuss these emotional and physical experiences, as well as some of the successes and achievements I have had in spite of my condition. I apologize in advance if they are long, however I am hoping these will highlight how great an impact chronic pain can have on a person’s life, and how sometimes we can overcome the challenges and sometimes it takes more words to do this.
September is Pain Awareness Month and I can’t think of a better way that I can spread awareness then to tell how pain has affected me, and those around me. I hope you will enjoy reading these Posts, and I welcome your comments on anything I write; I am sure many of you have had similar experiences that you might want to share. I still plan to write Posts about other, more timely, topics as they come up because we must remain vigilant about legislative and policy issues that might either benefit or hurt those of us in pain.
Have a good day!


I confess I have a lot of difficulty keeping my attitude positive, especially when the pain is bad and when the doctors don't seem to be putting any effort into it. I find your posts helpful because, even if it takes you some time, you always seem to come around to being able to see things positively or with humor. You really help me. Thanks. Please keep sharing.
