Caregivers Support Group
A voluntary caregiver is a spouse, relative, friend or neighbor of a disabled person or child who assists with activities of daily living and assists those unable to fully take care of themselves.

Hi, im excited to share a brand new blog that I'm writing with a friend. We're both occupational therapists, and both our lives have been drastically altered by chronic pain (she has pain, and I am a supporter for my husband who has fibromyalgia). We started this blog as a way to share what we've learned and to connect with others so we can learn more. I would really appreciate your support as we get this blog off the ground. Please follow the link and read it. If you like what you see, please share it, subscribe to our email list, and/or like us on Facebook (search for "regaining life"). Thanks so much for your support.

As much as I applaude your efforts to help those with chronic pain, I feel you are not obeying the DS rules here.

I used to post quite frequently to this group about my situation taking care of my husband, as he became very dependent on me when he was diagnosed. The blog is not only meant for those who have pain, but also for those who love and support them (ie caregivers). Our first blog post also speaks specifically to those who support the person with chronic pain. We are not making money from this blog (at this point) and really just want to offer support and understanding. We have about 25 post topics figured out already, and I would say about 5 of them are meant specifically for the supporters. So I do feel it's appropriate to share here. If the DS admin disagree, they can delete this. Thanks.
