Our pain management series has concluded, and I’m interested in how you did!
- Was it helpful?
- Anything confusing?
- Are you continuing to practice all the exercises?
- Which ones work best for you?
Please join in, in the comments below.
Next Monday, we’ll be starting “Monday Chats.” I’m envisioning these as conversations with you, as well as a forum for readers to talk with each other. From 12 noon - 1pm on Mondays (Eastern US time), I’ll moderate these chats in real-time – comment, and get a comment back right away. For the rest of the day on Mondays, I’ll check in to see your comments as often as my non-blogging life allows :) and respond to what you say. I also invite all of you to add your own thoughts to the discussion! And of course, you’ll also be able to leave comments at anytime in addition to times on Mondays.
Next Monday’s topic will be: Your Biggest Challenge and How You Cope with It
You’re also invited to send in topics/questions you’d like to discuss with other readers or me. As well, if you’re interested in being a moderator yourself one week – that is, being “present” 12-1 on a Monday - let me know.
I’ll be interested to see how “Monday Chats” go. And all of you will be who makes it a success!

I found the pain management class to be incredibly helpful. I really want to say thank you for your hard work on putting it together and your encouragement throughout the proccess. I’d say the most helpful exercises for me are the guided imagery exercises. I am starting to get good at them.
I’m in a really awful flare right now, and no matter what I try, I can’t seem to break it. I draw from what you’ve taught us in these classes, but right now I can’t say “wow, this made me better”, I can, however, say that the exercises helped me to deal with this flare.
Thank you for your work and support!

I’m glad you found something helpful in the articles. As other bloggers have written, sometimes it’s just a matter of keeping doing what should help, and hopefully the flare will settle down.
