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

Hi Babygirl,

I share your issues...fibro, cfs, migraines (I hate my head!) and quite a bit of depression for me. Welcome to the group, I think you'll find lots of kindred spirits here and we're always available for venting!

Hi Bellaboo...funny we used to have a Bellabo here too, but she quit a while back. She is missed.

I hope you all get as much out of this group as I have. This group is like family to me.

newbie hugs,

rayn

welcome babygirl & Bellaboo! We are a family here. I am fairly new as well, but I have learned so much already. Things that I have known for awhile, but weren't able to admit to myself. I hope you get out of this site how much I have. There are so many kind souls here to help you thru what ailes you. And remember, that you are not alone on your struggle...
