Thursday musings

It’s been a while since I wrote a “musings” post so I thought it was about time.
I am so thrilled with the number of people who have been stopping by Help My Hurt to read what I have to write. I’m trying my best to mix things up between news about different pain-related issues, drug approvals, interesting sites about painful disorders, people living with chronic pain, and some personal stories.
One goal is to have other professionals writing guest posts or agreeing to interviews. I’ve had some success in that respect. The Company’s calling with Olympic cyclist Kristin Armstrong was very popular and I’m hoping that we can follow her along her journey to the Olympics. The fact that she is open and willing to share her life with osteoarthritis is very welcome.
Speaking of Company’s calling - our lady who answers the door may be very lonely on Monday. I’ve used up all my interviews and don’t have anyone waiting in the wings. Please, if you feel comfortable sharing your story, consider participating in this feature. I think that Company’s calling is a great way for people to learn that they are no alone - something that is very important when you’re someone who is living with pain. Please email me if you are interested.
I have a some healthcare professionals who have agreed to participate, so it’s just a matter of getting the timing right - I hope to cover all different angles of pain and living with pain.
I received an email asking me if I “just took news and posted the links” here. I don’t think I do that too much, but if the consensus is that you would like fewer news links then I can cut back. I just figured that if the news is already written, there’s not much point to me rewriting it.
As usual, if you would like to see a topic covered - all you have to do is drop me a line to make your suggestions. Anything that is even remotely related to pain will definitely be considered.
Now… time to step away from the computer and go outside to enjoy that wonderful spring sunshine.

Hi Marijke,
I have mentioned before that I love the news links. Even when they don’t relate to me and my family directly, I believe that it is important for everyone to know what is going on in the field of health. I have ofter heard about a news item but not clearly, on a bus or through a friend or caught the tail end on TV but when I come over to visit you, I am confident I am going to find the full scoop, and I do.
Just my two cents.
Terrie
