Welcome to the board Angela. It is sometimes hard for even close family members to understand how we are feeling no matter how hard they try or how much they
want to. For most ppl, you just can't "get" it until you live it. It would be nice to know a lil bit more about you and your situation as far
as the cause of your chronic pain and how long you have been a "painer" guess that's the name most of us go by specially for long term pain.
This site is a great place to get to know others in chronic pain and a soft place to land so to speak when your having a rough day or night.
Feel free to come to bitch and moan and rant and rave and we love to hear when someone is having a good day too or has overcome any roadblocks chronic pain seems to throw in our paths. This site is also useful in getting some info although we are not doctors and mearly over suggestions you should check out with your doctors. There is I beleive an ask the doctor feature here though and I have found a lot of info just browsing through the pages here. These pages exsplain what chronic pain is and all the different types of chronic pain as well as some individual chats and forums for a particular condition. Most of us here have varied forms of chronic pain from either disease or injury or chronic conditions but the one thing we all have in common is pain and how we make the best of it. I have found some great ppl here that I consider friends and they have helped me through some really bad times.
Come back and see us and we can share our stories too and you can know that you are not alone
Hug's,
Karen
