Chronic Pain Support Group

Hi great thread
I joined in May but have read the boards for the past 2 years for answers. This too is huge blessing to me and love how everyone understands what living with pain is and does to a person.

I joined in January of 2011. Started with the Degenerative Disc Board.
I could not own chronic pain for while. Guess I was in denial. I still read on the board and finally joined in.

I once told a dancing cow on Meebo Chat that I didn't think I belonged on the board and she told me to be careful and think about that. She was very wise.

love and peace

Well I got on the Back pain board in March of 2011, but was only on for a bit. I came back to the board due to loss of friends and someone told me there was a place for people who were just experiancing pain in general and I've been here ever since, which was about a month ago maybe.

fun idea JC, im stinke, and joined back in march of this year.. i was surfing the web one night, and came across DS..i too started on the DDD board, but someone pointed me here..so thats where im been ever since...

hi, i'm serenityha, serenity for short, joined over a year ago, maybe 2, when i was dx'd with hep c type 1a which scared the crap out me after going through cancer and finding out that's untreatable as of yet. i'd already lived with chronic pain for years, was going through a dreadfully mean-hearted break-up that nearly took the life out of me and looked into that (divorce, break up) group. i've met one person from the hep c group in person for a day and we had great fun.

this group seemed to apply with my primary problem and to be the most supportive, so i stuck with it as i need as much positive reinforcement as possible to get through life as it is.

Hi jc,

I joined two days ago because my husband suggested I find a CP support group. I have found it lovely so far and have really appreciated all the kindness pouring forth.

I have had migraines since I was 12 and began to suffer from painful ovarian cysts about a year and a half ago, though it took a while to get a diagnosis. Now I am just trying to work through pain and the exhaustion that comes with it.

Hugs!

Yes, great thread! I've been meaning to introduce myself here for awhile. I'm iggy, tho my iPad thinks I should be iffy, lol....iffy is about how I feel and it changes at least hourly.

I joined DS on the Myofascial Pain Syndrome board in may. I've been lurking all the boards for a long time.
I also have Sjrogrens Syndrome and possibly Lupus.
Whatever the label, I have PAIN

Hi, I am CindyLJ. I joined DS - the chronic pain board - in March. I suffer from pain due to an autoimmune illness, Guillain Barre, which was dx in Dec 2010. The last 18 months have been pretty tough. Lots of medical issues to work through as a result of GBS.

Welcome to all the new people!
