OK..
That topic title doesn't mean a damned thing..
Just thought I'd already used " pain su#*s "

.. which I've used in the past...
Because I know it's something we can all agree on.

The actual point of this post is..

What ideas do y'all have for some CP topics?

We spend a lot of time lately talking about meds, bad Dr.s, lousy pharmacys.....
All valid topics, obviously.

I'm just wondering what we could be talking about that might..
I don't know how to put this ( not an uncommon occurrence for me :-)
Anywaaay..
Topics that might be..
Encouraging
Or helpful
Or just ... like the meds/Dr/pharmacy.... relatable.

This board's been a little slow for quite some time.

So.. any thoughts for topics?
I was going to just look up old topics..
But, thought I'd try asking first.

Hugs all

How to have a positive attitude despite the pain. Positive ways of coping beyond meds. How to change negative talk in relationship to pain. Just to get things started.

Start a post where you put someone's name in the comment. Then the next person has to say something positive about that person. Then they put someone's name and it continues. Every one needs to know that people are thinking something nice about them, or how much they are appreciated. No jumping around and changing to who you want to see there, their name will come up in time. Can't hurt to try. If it doesn't sound like a good idea... delete!!! :-)

Dragonfly..
Excellent ideas!!

Gramybear..
I think that's a wonderful, and very nice, idea.
My only worry would be that someone would be inadvertently left out ?
But.. a great positive approach to topics from both of you! Thank you.

Any more..
Anyone?
Beuler... ?? :-) :-) :-)

As y'all can see..
I've already begun, by using dragonladys idea for
" how to have a positive attitude despite the pain "

I hope the ideas keep coming.

beating up on a inflatable punching bag or stuffed creature to release our physical and mental pain...

I like the title of this thread though-I was thinking it meant someone had an accident on a stores aisle :)
