I know if ANYONE understands problems working with chronic pain, it's my people here. So, I would love to work PT to try and get back or there. I am a Medical Assistant/Phlebotomist/Scribe.

Does anyone on here know of ANY type of business or Dr. that needs a PT at home Scribe? I type like crazy and have tons of experience!

So yeah I had aqua therapy yesterday and I am in pain today, we are both depressed and trying to get through it and we just found out Anthony Bourdain committed suicide, due to depression! On top of all this, there are certain people who I am trying to distance myself from, that won't quit texting me in an attempt to pull me back in. I am already in pain, am depressed, they disrespected that and caused me trouble and I find out Anthony died! What's a person to do?!

Been dealing with both for over 20 years. ...
We lose so many to suicide. ...because they cannot deal with the pain of CRPS....
The most painful disease known to man kind. .....
PLEASE help spread awareness of CRPS....

More of an WISH.... I wish this site had a "Chat" component". Sometimes I stay on here for awhile, and like to look for responses to mine or others posts, etc. BUT.... I would love to able to talk to people in REAL TIME, and not have to wait to see responses, etc. Since my entire social life is now online, as I am sure is true for many of us, I would find a chat extremely beneficial and therapuetic. I belong to an artists chatroom, but that is public, and people come in all the time who we have… read more

Has anyone in Edmonton area taken the 90 minute Active Living 101 course or spoken to a Kinesiologist through the Edmonton Oliver Primary Care Network? I am curious as to what to expect.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with RA. While I've been working with a doctor to manage it and slow down the progression I'm still worried about how my condition may affect me in the future. I have many passions that joint pain affects and I'm afraid it will get so bad that I won't be able to do the things I love doing. Especially getting a diagnosis so early in life. Am I overreacting? I have an anxiety disorder and I feel like I might be over thinking things...
