Chronic Pain Article Roundup
I’m reading a handful of different blogs at the moment and would like to share some of the best posts I’ve read lately.
ChronicChick’s Speedbumps and MS Awareness : “This morning on Fox and Friends Sunday, Janice Dean (their Weather Woman Extraordinaire) came forward to talk about her life dealing with Multiple Sclerosis. Timed appropriately with the start of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week, Janice’s Journey began by showing Janice discussing her two and 1/2 years since her diagnosis and a terrific explanation of the disease by an Emory University MD.”
Happy Fibro Family’s Fibro Moments : “Sufferers of fibromyalgia are slower than the general population to respond when asked to recall details. Surprise, surprise… The following link from the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology shows the results of memory recall tests that were administered to fibromyalgia patients.”
IC Disease’s Help for Skin Irritation and Urine Burn: “For many women with Interstitial Cystitis, scented soaps and bubble baths can be a big problem that causes vaginal itching and burning. For some IC patients, like myself, if I soak too long in a tub with scented bubble bath my IC symptoms will flare and I will have terrible bladder pain as well as vaginal pain.”
Anxiety’s Stop Racing Thoughts in their Tracks : “Do you ever experience this? You want to go to sleep, but you can’t because your mind keeps racing and you cannot get it to quiet down? If so, you might want to try one of these things to help put your mind at ease”
Stop by and read a few of my older articles if you have time:
Thanks for the roundup, some good articles in their.
I worked with a woman who had fibromyalgia. It was the worst for her because for the longest time, no one believed she had this disease. Thanks for posting.

I was so happy to see Janice Dean discussing MS. While I don’t personally suffer from this devastating disease I have been raising money and doing the MS Walk for several years now.
Thanks for doing your part to raise awareness about chronic pain sufferers!

Hello
I really enjoyed reading your blog. I have scoliosis and I enjoy reading about the back and scoliosis on blogs and other websites.. I am very pleased with the SpineCor brace that I started wearing since Nov 2004. I have hardly any back pain and there has been some improvement in my curve. It took a while but I got used to it and I appreciate the support it gives my back. A couple of people have told me that I look straighter now. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to use the SpineCor brace. If you want more information on it go to http://www.losangelesscoliosis.com . Anyways I look forward to all the updates. Thanks again.

Boy do I ever have those racing thoughts! They’ve got me on sleeping pills to stop them because they aren’t exactly helpful when you’re also a chronic fatigue sufferer!
Great round-up of posts!
Great post! Thank you for all the resources.
Reading your blog was, for me, really enjoyable. Until last year, my right knee was in constant, chronic pain and walking up/down the stairs had started to become difficult. I had knee surgery when I was 22 years old and although it worked for a couple of years, it came back and got worse each year. Fortunately, I started taking Osteo Bi-Flex last year and soon realized that I had found something that not only took away the pain, but also helped my joints improve. I completed my first marathon on October 26, 2008 after training pain-free for months.
It is my wish for everyone who suffers from chronic pain to obtain the relief they deserve. You have done a wonderful job of presenting information about chronic pain and listing the agencies that are in place help those who suffer from it.
I look forward to reading your blog more often. Great job!
