If you are checking this Chronic Pain group out, welcome.
You will find great and helpful people, and advice from others experiences. This site has enhanced my quality of life.
Please use the many options this site offers. There are many different groups, other than this one. For example....Depression, Anger Management,etc.
Usually we have peace and harmony, but as people who suffer with chronic pain will do, we express aggravation.
If you see something in this room that may be negative, and you say.....how can a comment like that be supportive?........ then please understand that for the most part the members here are considerate, we just may be having a bad day.
I write this because I see the need to let new people know that you are not alone and don't be turned off by the may others express themselves, and don't get sucked in to a tangled web.
If anyone new has a question, feel free to go to my profile and send me a message.

You can usually tell after a few post if someone is too negative for you to read their post, then just don't and if you must use the Ignore button as it works. Those are the "tangled webs" David is speaking of.
Don't let negativity of any kind run you out of this group. We are all in different places with pain and what we suffer from but also we are a very compassionate people understanding the need to vent over pain, doctors, etc
There is a big difference between aggravation and complete disrespect. We welcome aggravation as we all have our moments and want to help each other through even our worst days.
Great post David...
I am off all pain meds for the past month because docs are afraid I will become dependent. Nothing else works and I cannot handle anything stronger than vicodin ES. I hurt, I'm angry and I am lost.
How do you all cope??
I sent you a message. Check it out.
Be patient and hang in there.
