Thank you for bringing this topic up. I have been referred to a psychologist and it's because I asked my primary doctor. They don't specialize, but I was told they often deal with it. If you find that there is a speciality, please let us know so I can do further research. It engulfs your life because your pain is 24/7. I know I am no longer the person I used to be. ❤️

My rheumatologist asked me to read a book about childhood and other trauma causing pain when you do not remember it but a psychologist trained in these skills can help a person. I would love to try that.
I don't think the old Frances exists. I am chronic pain Frances. I haven't found anyone yet. May I ask what your affliction is? I am hoping to get a new type of surgery, to help. There is no cure. Do you stay home 24/7? Whatever you have, I am so sorry.

My chronic pain has has definitely impacted my life. I was an extremely active person a year ago! I first broke my back and had a kyphoplasty! I never recovered from the procedure! Then my orthopedic dr recommended surgery on my back this past September and I have been in pain since the surgery! Going to Nashville to see a dr that only specializes in spinal cord stimulators!
