This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
For those of you that have been here forever, hello again. And for anyone new, just hello!
How have you all been doing? Its been a while since Ive been around, and id love to say its because Ive been so busy with new and exciting things, but honestly Ive just been depressed, sore, and wallowing in my own self pity...
I hardly leave the house anymore, I'm in constant pain, and my pain levels have settled in at roughly 6-9 on the pain scale constantly. I have tried to lose myself in my art, but i have been blocked for so long that i do believe i have forgotten everything i once knew... I would kill for a muse... something or someone to inspire me....
Anyhoo, i have truly missed all of you, and as depressed as i am, i am glad to be back here and hope to hear from any or all of you...
Love......Kris........

I am sorry it has been so hard, I do understand. Glad you are back. Lots of new members and many friend still here. I am very thankful to the support and friendship that this group offers.
Stay strong, and stay with us. I think we are all trying to fight through our different roller coaster rides. I am here for you as much as I can be.
Huge welcome back hugs-RJ
I think we may have met once before, but not sure . My name is Mary Ellen and I've been here for close to a year now and have met some gteat people thank God who have helped me through some really rough spots. I've had multiple lumbar and cervical disc surgeries which unfortunately have leftme in permanent pain.
I do have a pain pump which helps somewhat, but nothing takes all this pain away.
Like R J said,.there are so many here who are so kind and so supportive. I'm sorry you are suffering and hope you can find something that give you some relief. I know you find great people here.
Hugs,
((((((((())))))))))))

Nice to meet you. Sorry to hear your pain has stopped you from doing your art. I write poetry and I know what it's like when you just can't seem to get past the pain to progress to do what you love. I doubt you've forgetten what you once knew.. in time it will all come back to you. I believe your inspiration is within. Look at yourself and how far you've come through this pain and yet you still stand strong. You Kris are your own inspiring portrayal.
I hope your pain is at it's lowest possible,
Paula
I guess it's good to see you. ( would be better if you had been busy with new and exciting things)

I love to make stuff and when it turns out the same way I've imagined, nothing makes me happier. I'm constantly thinking of things I want to make, out of need, but my flops discourage me tremendously, because of the wasted product and money. My ideas are really good, sometimes, though.
Would love to know what kind of art you do, what has inspired you in the past. When you feel like it, hope you'll share it with us.
Hope things are better very soon.
Hugs & God Bless
