I quite like the Monday Check In, and some of the other ongoing threads (word games, etc.).

Here's another that came to mind...

How about an ongoing thread -- "What did you do today to help you manage your pain"? That is, aside from meds and laying in bed.

Many of us feel proud of the things we do that help us deal with the pain, so what about an ongoing thread where we can convey our efforts and successes? I think that would be a nice way of supplementing the "support" that this board offers. It could further become a good archive for people looking for ideas.

I like that idea. I also like that it may provide many of us with new ideas for options we haven't tried yet to getting through our daily lives.

cogito,

good idea. why don't like you simply start this as a new thread, it's a legitimate subject for a thread.

That's a great idea Cogito..... one that I will talk w/ the other mods about.... but think it's a great suggestion.

If anyone else has suggestions, please post them or e-mail them.

Thanks,
Tina

Great idea Cogito.

Tina/Cogito/everyone else - I can take that one on board if you would like? I've not been around much and need to get back into things here.

Thanks Laura... if you would like to, and the other mods agree, please do take it on.

My vision for it is a place where people can both offer useful information about strategies for dealing with pain (maybe products, novel pastimes, a fun app that is distracting, a good meditation CD, whatever); but also, a place where we can "brag" -- when we are proud of something we did (maybe got out for a walk for the first time this month, figured out a good stretch, etc..) -- and receive reinforcing praise!

For a thread title, how about: "CP Strategy of the Day", or "What did you do today that helped with CP?", or "CP Successes This Week".

I think this is a great idea.......i think there were similar threads previously asking others on coping mechanisms...I also brought the subject forth as well, not long ago. I thought the idea was a dead
Subject as not that many people answered my thread...However, I am happy to hear that people are looking for bragging rights or successes to help maintain their pain.

Regards,
Sandra

Laura,

That would be great if you would do that thread, especially because it works best if a mod maintains the weekly threads (due to past issues, lol)....

So, thank you Cogito and others for the suggestions.... and thank you Laura for your willingness to do this one.
