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...
Over the past week I have noticed many of the members of the Fibro community joining us here at Chronic Pain, welcome.
As you can see we are quite the family here at CP. We have games on our discussion posts and a daily roll call that has just started back up. Take a moment each day when you see the Roll Call to say hello and rate your pain.
Right now we have one weekly scheduled chat on Wednesdays 9am PST. I hope to be adding more chats as hosts step forward and offer their services for a regularly scheduled event. My goal is to have fun chats, serious chats on specific topics with hosts. Maybe we can convince our resident Dr to host a chat on various health related topics to help us understand the latest in treatment options.
Feel free to post and answer posts as often as you like. I do ask that even if you do not know the answer to a question please reply offering your support and understanding. The more replies we get the more willing a member will be to post again.
More importantly the more we make a new member feel important the more willing they are to stay with us. No matter the group, no matter the topic if a question goes ignored that person will never come back.
We have had that problem here, and I am sure you have seen it elsewhere, as well.
So welcome once again to our family, we are all honored to have you here.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I am willing to help you in any way
I have serval things wrong with me. Its all recorded. I have all the paper work. I get my records every 3 months from my doctors.
I have servre chronic pain and I have to watch my pain level everyday. I just wish my doctors would up some of my meds because I have been on the same dose for 8 years.
I am here to help people. To offer support, understanding, and leting them know I do care. I can only give my heart to everyone. I have no answers. Since 1994 I have been learning about each of my problems and most of all I learn from everyone here.
Thank you
I will try to be as helpful as possible. And believe me, have lots of questions. Sometimes I hate to ask because I know someone has asked before
Thanks again for the warm welcome!
But we get a couple of hundred new members monthly who don't know the answers and would enjoy reading the replies.
Plus, I love to talk.

I am hoping that one day there will be a chat at a time when I am actually awake LOL. Not to worry.
Having respect for each other no matter what, and enjoying each others company have kept this site as strong as it is.
Web MD has support boards for any of the same illnesses we do here. There CP board and back board went to ruins and that's what brought me here. I don't know if they have recovered, but I am so happy here, I have no interest in finding out.
Welcome to the family once again

The good work the site does is more important than what caused the rift.
