Welcome to My Weird World

Hi!  My name is Linda Palmer and I welcome you to my weird world!  I decided to begin a new blog to discuss a subject that is usually either shoved under a rug or considered taboo by everyone because it's such a "downer".  I want to talk about chronic pain.

Pain has many sources including physical or emotional.  Literally hundreds of people deal with chronic pain every day on some level.  I've been involved with several closed groups on facebook.  But I believe it's time we open the doors and shout to the world:  We are in pain and we want you to understand why!

There's nothing quite as frustrating as being in pain and having to hide it.  No one wants to talk about pain for fear they won't be liked anymore.  People with chronic pain are usually fairly isolated and alone, but thanks to the internet, facebook and these special groups for chronic pain sufferers, that is beginning to change.  The tide is shifting and we are finding support in our situation.  May I just add, "It's about time" - !!!

No one should have to suffer in silence - or alone. 

If you think this blog is going to be a mood smasher, think again!  Just because I suffer chronic pain does not mean I've lost my sense of humor or my wit or my will to live life with gusto!  Occasionally my get up and go gets up and leaves, but that does not mean I have forgotten how to laugh.

So, I hope you will follow this blog and leave a comment.  Just let me know you are reading and what you think.
