How To Share Messaging App Info With Other Forum Users For Live Chat And Voice Chat?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Riverside, CA

For me, instant messaging and phone conversations with other chronic pain people helps me the most. I am new here and unsure if I can even post my WhatsApp or my mobile number. Going through my chronic pain alone is the worst. If anyone wants to befriend a 50 year old man and you personally deal with chronic pain, then by all means, reach out to me.

I hope you like it here. We do not judge and you will probably find others dealing with the same issues that you deal with. Jean

Who Is The Correct Medical Professional To See Regarding Possible CFS / FM?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edgewood, MD

I have suffered with fatigue and widespread pain for more years than I care to remember. It seems as though whenever I mention this to anyone that I see medically, its as if they blow it off. I can't seem to get anyone to actually listen to me. Very frustrating. There are days when I literally have trouble putting one foot in front of the other to get what I need to get done.

Does Anyone Have Retroperitoneal Fibrosis? Or Even Heard Of It? 1.4 Cases Per 100,000

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I joined an RF support group and had to quit because of how they promoted Western Medicine. The only treatment they know is steroid infusions. I found an alternative therapy and have been making slow progress. I have shrunk my aortic aneurysm from 5.3cc to 3.2cc. with an enzyme therapy and an anti-inflammatory diet.

The RF site is great for research on the subject their archives are beyond compare.
