Click healthcare professionals, then click research, and there are dozens of articles. The information is priceless!

looking at the titles of these papers I’m wondering if the reason we are stigmatized or go completely unrecognized almost invisible to both the medical community and general public is because our major complaint is one of pain and pain alone has always been stigmatized, plus of course we are also mainly women. I mean the reason why people with AIDS were so researched was because they were initially mainly young men. But apart from all that I still think that this condition needs to be seen as more than pain. Must go to bed. Barb
It is more then just pain!!!

Very interesting. I am in the US, so I followed the link for my country. Everyone seems to agree that pain is a problem, but they only seem to mention severity, not type of pain. Everyone seems to agree that the cost of pain care is out of control, but the types of pain are not discussed. Whether it's burning, sharp, dull, etc. would tell the doctor a great deal of diagnostic info. Yet all I am ever asked is how strong it is on a 1-10 scale. Hmm...

I wasn't clear. My own doctors typically ask about severity of pain, but not type of pain. Once a single doctor was willing to discuss the type of pain. It was obvious that the medication I was taking was inappropriate to the cause. If we had not had that one discussion, I would still be in agony and unable to even walk!

Good point! I often tell people that Lyrica and Gabapentin will only help nerve pain, not joint and bone pain!
Absoultely;, I have never met a Dr who did not think this was an important supplement for us. I believe that good pharmaceutical grade vitamins of all kinds are of the utmost importance to all of us.
I keep my Omega 3 caps in the freezer, and take them directly from there, it eliminates the indigestion/heartburn these can cause.
This is the link to all info listed on 'painaustralia', however he also has included Doctor files and other findings of his life work He has chosen to place this in 'Dropbox'. Anyone who wishes access to ALL of the information can click on my photo and send me a private message with their e-mail address. Your e-mail address will not be used for any other purpose. If the Dr considers Dropbox safe, then I trust him.
This is optional, Renie and I have spent days going through their information on sharing, and it appears that you have to me invited by me to access this info. The choice is entirely yours, no pressure!
I tried the link to the article and it downloaded some search engine ( I think) that messed up my computer ( I think) so I took it off. I never got to read the article.
