Priorities for Pain Syndrome victims.

Well I think it is going to storm. I woke up this morning hardly able to move. Every step I took grabbed me and stabed me. My first concern was the amount of work I had to accomplish today. Medications tend to make drowsy and good for nothing. I usually end up falling asleep and and feeling groggy when I wake up. So how do I handle this dilemma? When I feel upset about how I feel and how it impacts my life, I immediately take a look t my priorities . I look at deadlines, and I check to see what is on my calendar. Flexibility is key.

Exploring Our Pain Management Toolbox

Pain management tool boxes are a concept I have discussed on occasion. I would like to ask folks what they have added to their tool boxes for 2008. What I am hoping to do is get an idea what types of things folks find helpful to add to it. It is my hope that folks will read the content of other's tool box and see what they lack. Those items can be explored further to determine if this might be a great addition to their own. Way too often folks are too quick to say something will not work when in fact, they have never tried it or found that to be true. I would like to us to explore this to determine why people do this and where do they get their pre-conceived idea that something won't work and it is not worth trying. For some it might be the opinion of someone they hold dear. For others, it might be the stereotype that many folks adhere to and which often is scarred by misconceptions and myths that have come down through the ages.

NJ 211 and Komen Affiliate Renew Partnership that Makes Mammograms More Accessible to a Population at Risk

NJ residents are urged to call NJ 211 to learn more about community resources for early detection and find out if they are eligible for free mammograms.
