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...
Love you!! xoxoxo
Then we would NOT have this wonderful friendship!!
DUH!!!
I think CP in a strange way has made me appreciate the little things and, as corny as it sounds, stop and smell the roses. I was RUSHING thru life at such a fast pace I rarely even noticed a beautiful sunset.
Do I want to be in chronic pain? Of course not. But it has made me a different and, I think, better person in the long run. And, as Rene said, look at all the wonderful people we have come to know and love.
I would love to go back to those painfree days, but I would'nt want to go back to the way it WAS and how I was living then. I hope that makes sense.

And, if we were just dreaming, I'd be on the Florida Emerald Coast ( a size 9 of course) running on the beach, and soaking up the sun. Or, I'd love to travel, go see different states, I've seen some beautiful pictures on here of places I'd love to see. Of course, I like to skip and run through each. one!!!!!!!!!!
Dream time, I would be traveling, even it was in the area most of the time.
And sex, what's that? Finding new ways to show love, make love has been great.
Right now I stand to be officially medically released on 6 December 2007.
Of course like others have already mentioned it is easy to look back and idealize "woulda", "coulda", "shoulda". If I didn't have this chronic pain I know for a fact I would have taken that for granted because I sure as heck did before it every popped up in my life.
If you think outside the box, often you can do the things you want and desire. Not always, but sometimes! And it's worth it!
but the best thing that has happened to me through having chronic pain is meeting fantastic people and friends that make up this community on DS so the good out weighs the bad.
