It has been awhile since I’ve blogged about my medical issues.  In “real life”, I rarely discuss them because there are so many more creative things to talk about!  But this is a site for “Mining Treasures in Illness and Pain”.   And I believe with all my heart that modern medicine is a Treasure with [...]

I believe I’ve made my last foray into the Back Pain Forum which I’ve visited online in recent months.  Initially, this forum was a valuable information resource when I needed it—before and after spinal fusion surgery.  It was good to connect with others who had gone that route.  After all, one doesn’t attend a tea party or coffee [...]

Sometimes the whole world can see that we hurt or feel ill.  Either our body posture and movements, a strained look on our faces, circles under our eyes, or a pasty complexion will squeal on us–and others will receive the signals.  Seeing is believing!
