"When you live in chronic pain, you feel you are alone in this misery. Having a group of people to talk to who share similar thoughts and experiences makes you feel that you are not alone. It is helpful to talk with others and share experiences and we can learn from each other different ways to cope with pain. That alone makes a big difference. We support each other and it means a lot. No one is embarrassed if we cry or bring up anything that might be embarrassing to talk to others about. What we say to each other stays within our group. We are not judgmental. That too helps. Many of us have lost friends due to our health problems. Pain is invisible. We can’t always do what we want or what our friends or family want. We understand that and are not judged by that. This is a great support group."
