I recently decided to go all in on addressing chronic pain - a condition which affects an estimated 1/5 adults in the US[1] and nearly the same proportion in my country of Australia. This is the first of several blog posts exploring this invisible condition. If you're passionate about this space feel free to reach out, thanks!

Excited to get the next article out soon!

Awesome!I had two tumours in my hip and I lost around 90% of a few muscles. Pain is my friend since I started this journey, and I need to say, that learn how to deal with that should be the first treatment! I'll read this blog with love! Thanks

Hi, thanks for the thread, what are the websites you follow the most to read about this topic ? Sometimes I wish there was a medHN

  agumonkey I love this - maybe it's about time a wellness/health "HN" was started. We're living in a time of chronic health dysfunction and lack of clarity. DM (and/or anyone else) if you'd like to jam For my recovery my reading/listening was focused on people like Dr Schubiner, Alan Gordon and some folks in Aus like Lorimer Moseley. I'm engaging more in linking research studies in now as I experienced a lot of people (often not practitioners) making claims without links to evidence (likely to keep things simple), which made my logical brain skeptical orignally and slowed my entry to this field

I did a 10 day insight-meditation retreat and experienced how pain is triggered by the mind first hand. This is impressive to me and id be curious what your perspective is
