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...
Hello everyone! I already started this topic, however, since I am new here, I accidentally chose the "Fun & Games" category and I cannot switch the topic over here so here it is again!
I hope everyone is doing well! We all have one common thread that unites us which is the chronic pain we feel each day. I know how difficult it is for many (including myself) to do very many "enjoyable" things, however, I thought we could take this opportunity to reflect on the "positive".
The objective of this thread is to share some of the "things you love". I'll go first!
1. I LOVE to eat ice cream, any time of the day or night! My favorite is mint chocolate chip but I also love to mix vanilla with orange sherbert for a refreshing treat!
2. I LOVE my husband and 2 young children, Brandon & Brittany! They are my world and I am very lucky to have them. I love being a mother!
3. I LOVE to shop!!! Since I am confined to my home, all of my clothing, shoes, handbags & jewelry come from HSN (Home Shopping Network). I love their stuff and it keeps me in style when I do get a chance to go somewhere!
Hugs & Blessings to All! ~Carrie

THere's just SO MUCH to Love! :)
I love the smell of a healthy, strong man, on a warm day (I know I know)
I love the sound of children laughing.
I love the Zoo.
I LOVE the Field Museum.
I love LIBRARIES. I love the way they smell, the way they look, I adore books and the fact that you can walk in there and find what you want.
I love my little "nephew" (not really related, but still calls me "Auntie Gelli") He's 15 months old, and the cutest thing.
I love my children. Even when they drive me nuts. I love when my youngest daughter's eyes shine when she tells me about the book she is reading.
I love watching scary (not gory) movies and scary TV shows and scary books. I think it pumps up my nearly non existent endorphin productions.
I love making love to my husband. EEEEK! Any time anywhere. (With the exception of a breakthrough over 6.5 or 7, then it's out of the question.)
I love getting all sexy and girly, putting on makeup, dressing pretty and going out.
I love staying home, still getting all girly, even if I am just going to read a book or do the laundry. Putting on my make up and getting dressed makes me feel HUMAN. I am SO GLAD I started doing this again.
I love chocolate. (Unless I am OTR, or having a bad breakthrough.)
I love my doctor and his sweet nurses and my pharmacist, without whom I may not be here.
I LOVE to cook or bake and watch my family and friends MELT when they eat the lovely food I made.
I love working with babies and helping their mothers feed them properly. I can't do it as much as I would like, due to my Migraines and Fibro, but I do as much as I can. The tiny little people are just GOD'S GIFT to us all.
I love being my own witty, bitchy, High Maintenance, outspoken, opinionated yet empathetic open minded (usually) self. Hey, I could use a little work, but I'll do for now. I'm working on it.
my man.....
Cali, Daphne and Macy.....
volunteering at the animal shelter and holding the sweet kitties for hours.....
observing nature.....
feeding the squirrel in my backyard.....
sunsets at the beach.....
the sweet sound of silence.....
