Has anyone read Managing Pain before it Manages You

[Guest guest]

I haven't read this book nor many others since my concentration and memory

aren't so good. I have read lots on the internet from reputable sources and

from what other people in chronic pain have to say.

Since I'm a long term pain sufferer of many decades I've learned quite a bit. I

know for a fact that it's imperative that we pain patients become our own best

advocate.

Learning takes time and unfortunately so many of us have learned the hard way

just how difficult it is to get the help we need.

We have to be proactive and dedicated to helping ourselves. There's no magic

involved but knowledge gives me the tools to find what works best for me.

any one read this book? What did you think? Did it help you?
