This book was recommended to me and I found it to be VERY helpful to me. It validated many things I was experiencing.
In general it talks about the different treatments for chronic pain. It outlines the emotional and behavioral cycle a person with chronic pain goes through. And, it also outlines the emotional and behavioral cycle your friends and family go through. http://www.amazon.com/Mayo-Clinic-... Cut and paste the link above, it shows what the book looks like and you can read a little about it yourself. I'm sure you can purchase it at your local bookstore. |

Yes I have this book and I still refer to it often (I've lived w/chronic pain for 9 yrs now). I follow the advice, it helps me to plan out my week so I don't overdo, and taught me how to talk to my family and friends about my chronic pain. It's been a great help to me!

I also have this book it was really really helpful. It even talks about how to analyse you day and set up a schedule of activities that will work around the times of day when you pain is worse. It talks about the emotional and family issues. In all it is a great book.

I have heard nothing but good things about this book, I have not read it, just like I never read any books on raising children. Although we have lots in common we all progress or digress at different paces.
My life is an unfinished story, so as far as my seeing if I am on schedule no way. Ouch

A friend told me about the book. So..I went to Amazon.com and bought it paperback and used for $1.99.
This book is easier to understand for the patient than some of the other books that the Dr's have recommended on PAIN. The very next friend or family member that remarks on the pain issue is going to be loaned this book to read. My only problem is..... I have never been very predictable. The pain has added to my total state of mystery and mystique!! LOL
