Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 >NOT ONE of you posted back about trigger point massage or the excellent resources out there, but you all did converse about getting Uncle Sam to pay you for sitting around and not getting better and also how to manipulate your doctors into giving you pain pills.< My opinion to this post is that it is judgmental and unnecessary! Just because a person may not be at the same spot in life as yourself, it is not acceptable to judge them. We all have our own battles to struggle with in life that may or may not go much deeper than the chronic illnesses we suffer from and to make sweeping judgments about others is small minded. There are people who are VERY SICK from these nasty illnesses and may require assistance. They may or may not choose to trust alternative medicine and that is their right, not someone else's to judge! Not to mention they may not have the funds to purchase the items from others who make claims about wonderful " cures " for these conditions. >This is my personal website, not my business, well not yet< There are many, many reasons people need assistance and it usually is NOT because THEY CHOOSE to be lazy and want uncle Sam to pay for " them sitting around. " > " You may call me insensitive if you like. " < Being in an abusive relationship, I am shocked at the small mindedness that is being displayed! After being a psychologist for 4 years now, I can honestly say that this response is extremely small minded. We all know there are varying degrees of these conditions and each person has a unique situation. Hugs, Peace and Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Please, everyone, stop fighting! Don't we have enough to worry about with fighting pain every day? I agree with . We are all at different points in our illness. Some days, I want to die because I can't take it anymore. Today I had a good day, the first one in over a month, and I feel like I can do anything. My mindset changes every day, not because I want it to, but because the pain really affects me mentally. This group has inspired me, though, so I may be quiet, but I'm glad to be a part of this... --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
