This is an 'interactive' support group where sessions will be held weekly and virually on 'Teams' (Microsoft) covering the emotional aspects of living a life with constant chronic pain, for those who suffer and their loved ones. This is the UK's FIRST support group for Chronic Pain! �
This Page is to be used as a platform to advertise the group sessions, that will be run by myself, a chronic pain volunteer (chronic pain patient 1who passionately wants to help other chronic pain patients). ��
Though I have over a decade of experience with living with constant excruciating pain, my profession was predominately training based, and I've a little education, however, I do not have medical staff roles on this Page. I'm a chronic pain suffereer volunteering to help and support fellow chronic pain patients as best as I can and able, especially emotional wellbeing etc. I support patient and human rights and freewill, coupled with Data Protection. Each patient needs to do what he/she feels is best at that time (and of course, adjust accordingly when needed). I support each patient choosing to decide which options are best for them, and this could vary as it's not a one size fits all. what may work for one person may not for another. Any treatment options chosen by a patient should be done of his/her own freewill and with input from your doctor/consultant if necessary. Any benefits or repercussions is the responsibility of the patient (Page member), so please ensure you have done your homework (research) thoroughly for short and long-term benefits and side effects, interactions, and any other applicable information. Page staff nor anyone else on the Page can *Not* give medical diagnoses, prescription, dosing, nor medical instructions. Anything required along these lines must be done through a medical doctor who specializes in the arena(s) of medicine at hand. All we can do together, is share information, knowledge, insights and give advice/guidance
I will not tolerate spamming, nor abusive or inappropriate behaviour. Offenders will be banned from the Page and their offending post(s) will be deleted. There is no judgement here, pain is pain and comes with it's own set of emotional rollercoasters. The Page’s settings will automatically hide posts which contain swear words, so if you’re wanting the rest of the Page members, outside of your FB friend list and Page Staff, to be able to see your replies on threads, then please keep it clean.
