Description

Pain and illness can become an all-consuming experience. As a chronic pain sufferer for over twenty years, I know firsthand how pain can easily take over your life and isolate you from others. But the truth is we are so much more than illness and we are not alone. There are millions of fellow warriors on their own journey. Join me every Tuesday as we hear real stories of people living with pain and illness, their challenges, their victories and the treatments they use to get through each day. I Am Not My Pain and neither are you!
