All of us here at this group are in pain. We all have different pain levels. We all deal with different things in our life.

We all have different illnesses. I'm asking for you to please remember we are here to help each other through a rough time in our life. Gen

I agree we are all here to help, however, unintentionally, sometimes people's remarks hurt others rather than helping them.

I agree with both of you.

We have an awesome group that here lately seems to be crumbling. People are nit-picking at others. This really needs to stop. This group is about the 'love'.

Yes, sometimes people say things UNINTENTIONALLY and it hurts others. We need to be strong enough to over-look it! We all have bad days, some way worse than others. We all say things we shouldn't from time to time.

Let's just try to move on. Move forward.

Managing Chronic Pain:
Your Basic Rights:
People with chronic pain are often “people pleasers.” We find it hard to express our needs and require that others respect them. And when our needs are not met, tension is increased and our pain seems worse. But you do have the same basic rights that you grant to others.

You have the right to:
1.Act in a way that promotes dignity and self-respect.
2.Be treated with respect.
3.Make mistakes.
4.Do less than you are humanly capable of doing.
5.Change your mind.
6.Ask for what you want.
7.Take time to slow down and think before you act.
8.Ask for information.
9.Ask for help or assistance.
10.Feel good about yourself.
11.Disagree.
12.Not have to explain everything you do and think.
13.Say "no" and not feel guilty.
14.Ask why.
15.Be listened to and taken seriously when expressing your feelings.

Read and reread these rights so that you not only know them by heart, but so that they become part of your daily life.


Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
~Winston Churchill

Love and many hugs, dear friends ~tracy
