  • Battle of the Sexes in A Life of Chronic Pain

    admin
    5 Nov 2009 | 2:03 pm
    The question is often raised whether it is men or women who are more susceptible to feeling pain. The actual amount of pain an individual is experiencing is difficult to assess because our interpretation of pain is extremely individual. Does it vary according to our sex? We have all been asked the question about our amount of pain according to the pain sliding scale. I know you’re all familiar with it. You remember the scale which starts with 1 and goes up to 10? The physician or his/her assistant usually asks you, on an office visit, where your pain is currently with number 1 being the…

  • Do You Have To Like Your Doctor In A Life of Chronic Pain?

    admin
    3 Nov 2009 | 1:15 pm
    If there is one area of life those of us with chronic disease or daily pain know all about, it’s doctors. Some of us have the benefit of experience from a background in medicine. For others, you just get one whale of an education by going from doctor to doctor. How important is it, in your opinion, to like the doctor who treats you? We often elect our politicians based on their affability, their charm, their ability to give a crowd stirring speech. In my career as a nurse I’ve met many doctors who would have made interesting politicians, however effective or ineffective they would be in…

  • Flying Witches And Lamp Posts

    Since this is the fall, our thoughts turn to falling leaves, fresh rain, and the smell of dry earth with the first raindrops hitting it as well as all the preparations for Halloween. In our small town we have these seasonal decorations of wooden witches attached high above the street to lamp posts all along the avenue. The witches are facing the posts with their little striped stockings and high heeled shoes hanging on one side of the post, their hats askew, as if they are hugging the posts. My little grandson just loves them and says, “Let’s drive by and see the smashing witches.”…

    When I started to write this blog more than three years ago, I decided it would be best to avoid the old points of conflict in our society; religion and politics. It was not that I do not have political opinions, because as it has been revealed on occasion, my opinions on politics in this country seep out in my writing.  I was brought up to be religious but no longer believe myself to be formally religious. My problems with sitting have kept me from being a churchgoer for several years now but I have always been very spiritual; now more than ever before in my life. Even as a child I felt the…

After all I’m only human, and this pain it’s got me riled; Amidst the pumpkins, gourds and corncobs, cobwebs of massive size, midst hoards of tiny mobs. I think I’m just as scary as the crabby, cranky witch. Some days I feel too lousy to walk, to sit, to twitch. I think I kind of like it, the role of eerie witch. I could use a wart or two or a defacing  rash with itch. With its ghosts and pumpkins this season I do love but the weather always changes and my body knows thereof. I feel the weather to the hour as I begin to…

There are some people who either never seem to know the right thing to say or who just don’t even try. I realize I’m not going to have everyone’s support 100% of the time.

    In 1944, an Austrian pediatrician, Hans Asperger, wrote about some characteristics he was seeing in some people, such as clumsiness, repetitive routines or rituals, different speech patterns (monotone, overly formal), inappropriate social behavior, and difficulties with non-verbal communication. Over the years, not much notice was taken until the 1980s when a doctor in the United Kingdom, Lorna Wing, noticed children with similar characteristics and she named what she saw as Aspergers syndrome. Since then,  the disorder was studied more, and in 1994, Asperger syndrome was labeled as an…
