That sure is a lot to be dealing with and a lot to just sort out. I hope you do find a new online family here. I know when I joined, I think originally it was 10 yrs ago, I was feeling pretty isolated from the rest of the world and feeling kind of sorry for myself. After to listening to all the stories of what so many pain
patients had been through it sure made me feel less alone....I have made some very good friends along the way as well.

If you have been a pain patient for 30 yrs, have you seen big strides or advances in pain management? I recalling thinking, when my primary care doc referred me to a pain mgmt specialist 10 yrs, wow....I didn't even know such a specialty existed. I was aware of the pain meds available to cancer patients or dying patients but I never realized I would be "allowed" to take pain medication every day. I honestly was in a very bad place pain wise and not finding much to live for and I was astounded at how much I was helped.

Hope things are getting better after the divorce and all the crap you had to go through. I am sorry that happened to you. I hope family and friends for support but there are always all the various forums here, emotional support, grief support and the one with funny jokes and stories helps alot too. Do come hang put at the chronic pain forum....lots of help always needed there. All my best, Diandra....


.if you feel shy or maybe have a question you want to ask to just one person are not sure there are things you want to share with everyone you can always private message me or anyone...everyone I have ever met here is very nice.
You can also ask questions directly to the moderators and I think those questions are private.
