Dear Friends in Pain,
With the onset of new groups and membership it's always nice to tell the group who you are on some level, and or why you're around.
I am a professional nurse, disabled in 1998 with at least 12 pain
disorders; the forefront is systemic RSD which is end stage. Meaning it affects all of my internal organs and can literally kill me. I am a published researcher, masters prepared nurse, and run a small private pain group family AnGeLsInPain. I also have CFS,FM, IC in remission, IBS, the list goes on. I'm of the belief that due to RSD many are immune related disorders.
I advocate for many who are not on pain management and need referrals.With the heyday of DEA witchhunts it is a hard task at times, but those good physicians (and good patients I might add) are significant in maintaining the current standards; CIP should be actively treated to maintain quality of life for those who suffer.
That is but a brief overview of me. For others I do not know I'd like to hear more.
Peace and a PFD,
Karen

Ya'll are special you truly are, and to be the
catalyst for this group is a miracle for I know
in my heart that God's will created this group(s)
and each of you are very very special to me, always
no matter what I AM SO PROUD to a "part of" what
this family has become.
