Hence, Pain Awareness Month!

I once discussed an idea I had (I think it was on the RSD forum, but I can't recall/locate it) about printing up some "business cards"—with chronic pain factoids on one side and links/resources on the other—to pass out to people who express an interest (but not to push on anyone who doesn't) to educate normies about the epidemic and politics of chronic pain...

I still think it might be an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it would have any/much impact.
