MDJunction to me

Cata"MDJ gave me the chance to see that, in reality, I was not alone. It is my refuge. It means true understanding, shared knowledge, and support that is free of judgment. What I have received and given here is more powerful than I ever thought it could be. This place is all about love." (Cata)

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 Maz,

Nice of you to join us but wish it were for different reasons.

You are going to like it here. Feel free, to ask ?, vent, give advice, helpful hints, whatever.

Someone is almost always on here. A lot of us are in pain right now cause of the stupid weather, either to hot and humid or to cool and rainy.

Come on now God, give us some nice weather for awhile so we can feel kinda normal.

Welcome again!!!

Gentle hugs,

Debbie

The info I gave above is just my opinion. Please go to a dr or professional for further advice. Remember we are all different. God bless you all.
