Chronic Pain Awareness Month 2020: Part I

September is #ChronicPainAwarenessMonth. Throughout the month, I will try to feature as many pain disorders as possible to help raise awareness across the board.

That “healthy” friend or family member who you don’t see much of (even without a pandemic), but who you’ve seen talk about pain issues on social media? They’re SUFFERING and STRUGGLING. Think of something kind this month and do it for them. However large or small, it will be received with immense appreciation. Yes, I practice what I preach, even when I’m the sufferer. #ActsOfKindness #PainDisorders #InSeptemberWeWearPurple💜

When My Daughter Is Blamed for Her Chronic Pain

This article infuriated me. I know how I was treated as a child with pain and it wasn’t very different, but I feel like the practices have become worse as an adult with pain, not better. You have to fight for everything, and that is unacceptable to me, but for anyone to denounce the pain of a child just plain rattles my cage!
