" Chronic pain is a complicated issue. Not only are we dealing with the body, but the mind as well. Meeting the challenge of multidisciplinary pain management is not easy. Until now conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and diabetic neuropathy have been severely under-treated. Recent guidelines have been published which should allow doctors to prescribe more freely, but this is only part of the answer.

" Patients need also to realize that other modalities, such as "selfcare," which includes exercise, diet and nutrition, and restorative sleep, and "spiritual" therapies, such as relaxation exercises, meditation, biofeedback, and prayer are just as important if not more so than prescription medicines. Chronic pain invades every single aspect of your life, and the lives of those that love you. Medicine alone will not be the answer.

" Chronic Pain Clearinghouse exists to help you to survive and thrive even though you are living with pain. We want to be part of your answer."
