Pain and MS

By Vicki, Health Guide Wednesday, July 08, 2009

 

The National MS Society adds, "People who stay active and maintain positive attitudes are often able to reduce the impact of pain on their quality of life."

 

Many of you – whether it’s 13%, 50%, or 80% -- experience pain of one kind or another, or even more. If you have any specific pain you want to know more about, please ask. If you have a story about your pain or treatment or attitude, I ask that you share that story. No two people experience and describe pain in the same way. Your story may help alleviate the pain in others.  By sharing it, you may help alleviate your own.

 

“The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure,

but to avoid pain.”  ~ Aristotle
