As a chronic pain sufferer for many years (age 22 to the present, will be 32 soon), I'm really excited to join the community and exchange information.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to subscribe to different forums. Is there a delay from when I sign up until I can do that?

Also, I wrote a long reply to someone on this new member intro. and it got erased (I think it was an internet explorer error, nothing to do with the site) before I could send it. Anyway to save as you go when you're writing a lengthy reply?

Thank you so much! Look forward to learning and hopefully contributing to the community.

(Breathe is my go-to reminder for coping with pain/stress,etc and thought since I want to encourage others to make use of the power of just simply taking a conscious breath it would be a good username)

Hi and welcome
we have some default settings here that change as your post number increases so just keep posting and you should soon be able to do most things I think you should be able to subscribe to the forums though.

If you have allowed cookies for neurotalk.psychcentral.com and also check the Remember Me box when you log in here, then you should be able to make long posts and stay logged in until you actively log out

Great Name, and yes we all should breathe deeper. Welcome to Neuro talk. I am glad you found this site. You will be in good company. Many here suffer from CP too. You will find understanding and compassion. I joined last year, and keep coming back to my friends here. I have CP too from spinal fusions. Hope your holidays are good, and that you know peace. ginnie

Hi Breathe18:
Just wanted to stop by and say hi. My husband has had chronic pain from neuropathy for 20 years. No walk in the park is it?

You have been sent to the proper forum. Hope it helps you.
