About Me
I'm now a stay at home grandma raiseing (I have coustody of) a wonderful 10 yr. old Granddaughter. And am married to a wonderful husband who works hard to support all of us. I was a Nurse and was doing Home care when I fell and injured my back, 5 days after we got married in 1991. And injured it again in a car accident in 2001. And again in 2005 in another accident. I'm looking for some one to talk to who isn't family. And has some of the same problems.

You should consider joining the chronic pain community, where you will meet others with similar injuries, who might be able to offer some ideas for the pain you're experiencing. Also, please join the parenting community when you have a chance.

Close Chronic Pain
I'm 46 and have had chronic back pain since 1991 after a fall down concrete steps. Then car accidents in 2001 and 2005 now it's an effort to just get out of bed everyday (sorry for complaining today is a really bad day) I guess I 'm in good company. I just want to go back to "normal" but I know that won't happen but it still would be nice to get up in the morning pain free. Again I'm sorry for complaining I'm sure there are plenty of people in worse shape than me. I think I just need to talk to other's to be understood. Please feel free to write me I really need the support and I promise to write back, I know how difficult it is to be in pain, and have a family who is counting on you.
