Suddenly you find yourself living in chronic pain, 24/7, going from doctor to doctor, searching for answers regarding your disability or illness. Then Depression sets in and it is darn hard to find people who understand what is happening with you. I have been in Chronic Pain for most of my adult life and decided to start a site over 8 years ago. We began on MSN and were successful until they closed their groups. Now we are on the WWW as a .org as we are a free site for anyone who needs support, friendship, understanding and help. I truly know your pain. I live witih a pain pump and have disabled since 93 but in chronic pain many years before that. Do come and check us out. We restarted a few months ago and have a wonderful staff. If you need information we will do the research for you. Your friend, Billie
