Journey with Pain Mood
Friday, March 14, 2008

Parkinson's Pain - Does it exist?  YES YES YES - Why do we not talk about  our chronic pain?  I'm in pain every day now and my so called MOVEMENT DISORDERS SPECIALIST refuses to even accept the idea that it's painful so therefore I'm going to look for another doctor.  What to do and where to go?  I'm so frustrated and hurting this morning and oh so tired from lack of sleep because it's too painful to stay in bed.  Why isn't Parkinson's listed as a chronic pain disorder  like all the others that  get so much attention?   I'm going to sound like a whiney baby in  all this but I'm beginning to wonder "why not?" since nothing else works anyway!  Thanks for listening to an old tired out person here!  ParkieJan

    Is it cold and rainy the Jan? That always makes it worse. I would put on my sassafras face if I were near you and you could come watch the old men squeeze my balloon boobs. There did that make you smile. Hope so. Hang in there warm weather is coming and we always feel better then. Sass.

    Sass, It's been rainy and stormy here the last two days but not cold. It's been in the 70's. Thanks for the smile for the day. Hugs, Jan
