I have a friend who thinks that I am putting it on, when I say that I am in pain, as she just says, well you look good, are you sure you have pain, this really hurts me inside. Do any of you have friends or family who think that the pain is in your head?

I’m not sure where this comment fits in this discussion about people thinking pain is in your head, but truly what other people think of you is really none of your business. My daughter said that to… read more

This is how the doctors are trained. "Doctor talk" is best in their own language so no misinterpretations occur. A check mark will not fit into a box unless you choose one. Right off the bat, I… read more

How To Support Your Partners While They Support You?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can’t get out with my fiancé and so many things or enjoy moments as much as we used to because of the pain and I can tell it’s taking a toll on him. He just wants to see me happy and admitted how much it hurts him when he sees me hurting. He’s been so wonderful to me in this, but I know everyone has a breaking point of how much they can handle and I want to take some of the burden off of him. He always carries me when I can’t carry myself and I can tell he’s growing weary too. We have a… read more

Do You Feel Like You Are Just In The Way?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone feel like all you do is get in the way and slow everyone else down? As though everyone wants to get somewhere yesterday and you can't do so until tomorrow and so they are all ready and waiting at the door and you sometimes just end up passing on the trip, or activity, because you are still trying to get on your shoes and coat, so to speak.

Yep. I’m of no use to anyone so out of sight, out of mind. They forget that we gave our whole lives to them.

Why Do I Feel So Reluctant To Tell My Story?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a story, just like all of you. I’m in high-tech consulting. I know the power of information. I want to share but wish there was a more secure means to do so. I’ve done nothing illegal and have nothing to hide, I guess I’m scared to just let it all out, for the entire world to see all of me.

I’m not a writer. I’m a child of a mother who stressed the importance of reading, writing, and arithmetic (Reminds me of Bill Haley!) My mom would come home from her shift at the hospital and crash… read more

How Does Stress Affect Your Pain?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I think the flare-up in back pain I’m having is only partially because of physical activity and partially from stress. How do I separate them and keep the stress from making my pain worse?😫

Unrelated, there needs to be a better pain emoji.

As far as baths and showers go, Dr. Teal's body washes, baths, and lotions all have Epsom salt in them. I like the one called Endurance. It's even a good shampoo. Has anyone heard of this?
