Re: Re: Marriage counseling and pain

[Guest guest]

Well said, Cheryl. You are so right about the importance of separating the cause

of our chronic pain from childhood issues. When learning new ways to help us

better live with chronic pain we need to speak with someone well versed in ways

of productively coping with the severe chronic pain that comes with conditions

such as CRPS/RSD!

I've seen you end a few posts with " Cheryl in AZ " . I, too, live in AZ and would

be interested in finding a RSD support group. Do you know of any in the east

valley? I found one such group online but have not received any response to my

inquiries. Perhaps the group is no longer meeting...if you have any input on

this topic I would be most appreciative.

Thank you,

Carol
