Is It Common For Chronic Pain Sufferers To Have Other Chronic Conditions?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Philadelphia Area, PA

CMS, the Centers for Medicare, encourage physicians to manage multiple chronic conditions under a Value-Based Care plan that pays them extra to "optimize care delivery" like setting goals and tracking them on an Individualized Care Plan. These programs, and others, are available through Medicare if a patient has more than 1 chronic condition and only 4% of patients are getting this across the country.

Is It Worthwhile To Go Off Our Meds Every Once In A While, To Cleanse And Reset Our Body?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Walkersville, MD

We all know how after a while our medications no longer work, or they are not strong enough. We also know that pain is cyclical in nature and that sets us up for this never ending need for our meds and for them to get stronger. And knowing this, and that we'd be in excruciating pain for 5-10 days while we reset, is it worth it?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

These warm days make me wish I could have recess or summer camp again, and run and play..... My days of running are long gone.

To Those Living With A Chronic Pain Survivor

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Maple Grove, MN

I know living with someone who is in constant pain can be hard. Sometimes we take it out on the person we love, because we can’t fix ourselves and it is so exhausting. We are staring down a monster who can actually change in the matter of a minute. It’s unfair of us to do this, especially to the ones who love us and are there for us. There are no excuses. There aren’t any words that can describe the extent of how it hurts. The mind games it plays. I am a chronic pain survivor myself. I am also… read more
