Checking in on the Couch

Hello everyone and glad to see so many new faces. I sincerely appologize for the absence as I have had an extremely long road to recovery and it was nearly impossible to post, although I have kept an eye on the group. I truly hope all is going as well as to be expected in terms of the chronic pain issues...I of all people know what it's like.

If ever anyone would like to send me a message, please feel free to do so. I do check them. I check the private messages more than anything else.

Please take care of yourselves.
My very best,
Mollyrae- Founder

So Yes you bet we could use your help Mollyrae.   om    don

it would be nice if everybody would post in to say hi and thank you to mollyrae. and we can maybe get an idea of how many of us are interested and want to keep this good thread going!  I for one am about to just give up on it as i have put a lot of energy here and have offered to teach different effective techniques for pain (and for quality of life in general) etc. with very little response or feedback. AND i do not mean those few are really helpful and who do respond and who do post and who do see the possibility here if we can just use it. But we need more active folks to "find them" and to "bring them in" (from the ring trilogy--frodo-gandalf--sam etc.). More will attract more and the more the merrier and the more we can help.  Please show some dedicated interest in doing this and maybe with Molly"s (founders) input we can PULL IT OFF.  And we can you guys. So Post in and i will gladly stay put here and keep on keeping on. Otherwise   i might look for somewhere where my time will be spent more effectively,  Just telling the truth here and i don't mean to be so blunt but------you by now know i love you guys mucho----om    yogadon

I am trying to get some answers to something called the piriformis muscle which causes a lot of pain and have asked the medical professionals but can't seem to get an answer from any of the doctors who 'want' to comment. This muscle is real and the pain that it creates is severe but this issues seems to be highly debated in the medical community with no answers or hope to treat this problem. I have done research on line and WISH I could exercise but that is not an option at present. Can anyone help with with answers on this piriformis muscle issue? Thanks for your time. Seems the medical professionals have no interest in this area.

hey mollyrae!! your baby is growing although slowly but if we keep feeding "the Couch" it can grow and i am aiming high. I really don't know why something magnificent can't happen ---why a real cohesive group---why just a handful of people in terrible pain--could not be the source of that.
     I hope you are as well as can be mollyrae. Thank you again for the couch.

There is no need to be impatient  about increasing numbers. if useful material is published  members will flock to gather, there are to more groups pertaining to pain.So dilution of group is obvious.  
I do hope better techniques get published in this forum..Neurological pain group wants a writer for the group.I think OMHOME WILL be the right person.
