For my first entry I would like to introduce you to my friend, Pain.
Pain is with me all day and all night. Pain likes to be the dominant figure where ever we are.
I have thought about all the medical community has and has not done for me for many years.
It is my intent to kick Pain down into oblivion and take my life back.
As a step in that direction, I want to gain employment in the healthcare field and give patients a little ray of hope that a chronic condition could be cured or at least controlled.
There is controversy about how to treat the Pain that I have. There are hard-core narcotics that leave me sedated and spacey. There are condition-specific drugs to which I have adverse reactions. And finally there are over-the-counter meds that will ruin your stomach, kidneys, and/or liver.
Right now I can't win with any of these medication options.
But maybe in the future I will.
My next installment will give you the down-and-dirty details on Pain.

That sounds awful. What is your condition?
Lynelle, science is developing every day. I am sure that in a really close future everything will be much better for you: they will find a cure, or better pain-killers, that wouldn't damage your health from other points of view.
Anyways, Welcome on ProgressiveU!
I can certainly understand what you're saying, girl. I'm proud of you that you want to get into the medical field to help chronic pain sufferers!
Hang in there!
