For several years I was the owner/moderator of a
successful online group for anyone battling chronic pain,
before my own battles with cancer forced me to give
it up. I constantly made sure the group was a comfort
and source of uplifting support for all members.
My own chronic pain battles are severe. And I know
many other LP's battle the same kinds of chronic pain.
Here is the description for the group:

>>>There are many challenges that come with dwarfism. All too often
many of
us must then also deal with terrible pain issues due to the many
orthopaedic
problems and/or surgeries which are a result of our dwarfism as
well. This
group strives in a positive way to be a daily source of uplifting
comfort in
living with chronic pain. Here, those with dwarfism struggling with
pain will
find a "separate peace." Here, there is warm support, laughter, and
many
other little wonderful treasures to share to help make brighter the
physical
challenges we endure. Perhaps Kahlil Gibran said it best: "The
deeper sorrow
carves into our souls, the more joy we may attain.">>>
I really felt we could use a support group of this
nature, and do hope many of you will want to give this
a try. You never know------you might just get something
positive out of it!
