Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. 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...
..well..what else can you call life with Chronic Pain? It's a struggle.
Me..I'm insanely lucky to have a good support system..family and Dr.s.
..Yet...there isn't a day that goes by that I don't have to, at the very least..shake off the thought of suicide. Some days..it's more of an all day wrestle than a shake.
Not because I want to die. Quite the contrary. I WANT to live...and live well.
Just seems...every time I reach some form of acceptance..there's a new challenge. ( sometimes just the old pain flaring worse)
The chronic pain group has kinda scattered over several groups.
But...I don't think anyone ever forgets the people that were here for them when they were new here.
Or..the strange relief there is in finding others who " get it ".
For me..that was a life saving relief.
So..when I'm not in curled up in a ball crying pain..
I try to stay connected here. Even if that is a very tenuous connection at times.
Because..
I need to pay it forward when I can.
It's been a while since I felt I have anything to offer..
...been strugglin'.
So..to folks that have come around that I haven't been in on welcoming..I apologize.
I will do my best to be one of the someones here when someone out there Google's " chronic pain support" in desperation
Hugs to all

LATELY I CANNOT LOOK AT HEALTHY PEOPLE , OR ANY SPORT ON TV, IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY TO BE SO ILL, WHEN PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE HEALTHY, AND I WALK LIKE THE WALKING DEAD, YES I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING*****************
I AM IN PAIN ,DON'T TOUCH ME, IT HURTS*
LOVE L**
I think one of the things that has helped me the most over the past few months is finally coming to the understanding that God has a plan for me. I talk to Him more often and have been getting signs that I need to trudge on. My purpose here has not been fulfilled and I need to keep pushing on.
You are loved more than you know my friend. I think we came on about the same time ages ago, or so it seems. You have been someone I have continually looked up to and I want you to know I am here for you if you need anything!
Gentle hugs,
Jenna
Sorry I wasn't helpful. I'm in one of my bad moods. Perhaps tomorrow I feel better?
