I finally found someone that appears to know what chronic pain is, and how others around us react, they just don't realize how much it can hurt. I have chronic PN pain in my feet and work 8-10 hrs a day on my feet. Many don't understand why I have to get off them so much, nut your post hit the nail on the head. thank you, Frank

I just joined the community, and this is the first time I have seen the letter. It expresses much of what I would like to say. Thanks for posting it, it is a tool I will use.

Thank you very much . I have never seen such a letter to explain what it is like to live with chronic pain. I would like to send a copy to all my family and even some of the doctors or specialists aside pain management a copy as well.

Many thanks for this wonderful letter! I know so many people who need to read it ~ like my family and my very kindly neighbor who invites me to "get out of the house" for visits to DQ or senior citizens dances. He doesn't understand that if I could be out of the house, I would be.

Wittesea,
I ( well hubby) found this posting this morning & I cant tell you how you have hit the nail on the head. The majority of my family has no idea what I go throu on a daily basis---but Im going to make sure that they read this. I get how I should be able to take an advil & "feel better". I have rsd/crps & the pain is on most days especially rainy days-----unbearable. Ive tried to explain to them how bad the pain is---they just dont get it. I cant tell you how when I was reading this---it was like--yep thats how it is. Thank you so MUCH for posting this, it is an excellent tool that Im going to show as many people as I can---maybe then they will get the point & with any kind of luck understand what its like to LIVE with chronic pain. I know alot of doctors that need to read this also. ![]() Thanks again. Janet |

It was written by Bek Oberin in the early days of the Internet. She was a keen blogger and had (may still have) her own web site. Here's a link that might satisfy your curiosity. http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=3&gl=au The article was originally titled,"An Open Letter To Those Without CFS." It seems to have been hijacked a lot since then, so you will see slightly different versions around. CFS was an early name for what is now more accurately known as M.E. My daughter has had it severely for 16 years or so, and in the early days was in contact with Bek. Incidentally, Bek has changed her name to Ricky Buchanan.
