Thank you John! Should be required reading for all practitioners and every person who is in pain.
As the article explicitly states, not all pain can be managed, but a surprising amount of it can be.

Well, a step into the neuro direction is the use of Gabapentin. Actually similar approaches are used with the spinal nerve simulators, and even TENS products.

Could you give an overview of the article. I cannot read it unless I subscribe to The Washington Post.

Hi John, I am I guess what you would call a new be to this chronic pain. About six months I'd severe pain. My problem is when I see a Dr or have seen a Dr. They have given me x rays mRI's looking for joint deterioration and found only moderate for my age of 72. I am a very active out door person and I know what I have is a case of fibromyalgia. Where or who can I ask for to see me for this condition? So far I have been run in circles and I feel they just want money. I also only take plant based or native treatment based medicine. I do not believe in chemical based treatments. I am into meditation and exercise for this and food management helps. Please who can I see for this or I can take suggestions from other's on self helps.

Great article!
