My Brain Hates Me Becomes Delegate for the Power of Pain National Pain Foundation

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be acting as a delegate for the Power of Pain Foundation to help spread education and awareness about chronic pain. Check out http://powerofpain.org/ for information about events in your area, or how you too can spread awareness!

Sharing my experience, breaking stigmas, and educating others about my condition has become a part of my daily life as a chronic pain sufferer. I’m very excited to join others in the mission to make the world a friendlier place for those of us living with pain.

This isn’t some special honour reserved for crotchety bloggers like me. Anyone who wants to help can become a delegate. All you have to do is apply. Click here to learn more.

Spread Knowledge, Not Awareness Ribbons

I don’t want anyone with any kind of pain to suffer longer than they should have to because they can’t find information.

If you know someone with a chronic condition, pay attention to the information that they share with you. It just might be the information you need one day, or a friend needs, or your parent or child needs.

There are some very wonderful people in my life who live with chronic conditions and they work very hard to spread awareness. Awareness isn’t a ribbon, it’s knowledge. That’s why I blog when I feel up to it. And that’s why I’m trying to vlog. (Even though I hate the term “vlog.”)

If you have knowledge, set it free. You’ll be rewarded a thousandfold
