Introducing Living with Chronic Pain Pod

barblovesroses said Nov 5, 8:17 AM:

 

Hello Everyone, I'm Barblovesroses and I recently started the Pod Living with Chronic Pain.
Just about everyone either deals with some type of chronic, often disabling pain or knows someone and supports someone dealing with some type of a chronic pain condition in their life be it from fibromyalgia, migraines, multiple schlerosis,  reflex sympathetic dystrophy, rheumatoid or osteo-arthritis,back pain, or a myriad of other painful conditions. 

This forum is a place for us to come discuss the issues that relate to living with these conditions in a safe supportive environment  - issues like:
 ~problems with medical personnel
 ~insurance hassels
 ~medication problems
 ~family/support person(s) problems/resolutions
~even successes we have come up with that may help others who are going thru the same things we have so that others may benefit from what we have learned.


It is my hope that we can learn much from each other along this journey we are travelling in our chronic pain conditions and that our suffering can have benefit to others even as we endure it ourselves.

Some of our most popular discussion categories include:
~Coping Techniques - How do you manage your day to day pain?
~I can't take it anymore and I have to let off some steam
~I need guidance from my fellow pain sufferers about???
~Today was a good day because…

I hope you will come take a look at my group!

Congratulations on starting a group!!!

I recommend using firefox  to help add pictures to your group in the Living with Chronic 
Pain about this group section.

The Rooms can take a picture under “edit room” section… you set the curser next to the description and upload from your desktop.  To get the pictures you want I recommend looking through google images.


Let us know if you need help on this initial set up.
