My brother was like that Dana... he broke his back in 2 places when he was only 23, and has been in chronic pain and fully disabled since then. One day, him and mom were on the lake fishing and he was taking more pain meds, grunting in pain, grimacing with it, etc, when mom asked if he wanted to go home, if he was hurting tha much. Mike said "doesn't matter if I'm home or here, no matter what I do, I'm going to hurt. So I may as well hurt doing something I love, as sitting on the couch. Pain's the same." so they kept fishing!

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)
