I'm glad to be here. Thank you.
I've been using Curable for almost a year and it is helping me understand my pain and work to alleviate or even end it.
Biggest help of the app: I've learned to my surprise that reptetition is important. I use the app 4 or 5 times a week and I used to avoid writing and brain visulations that I'd done before because I thought I'd learned everything they had to offer. Curable's team emphasizes the importance of repeating the many exercises the app offers because the brain needs to hear the same messages over and over again to successfully retrain itself.

What a great tip and take away! Yes indeed, repetition helps with neuroplasticity - the re-wiring or re-training the brain.
Thank you for sharing info about the Curable App and what has helped you. The fact that you've been using it for almost a year says a lot. I'm attaching a link for Curable Health App reviews in case anyone out there reading this may be interested in learning more about how it can help manage chronic pain.

I'm grateful to have attended a 3 week pain rehabilitation program at Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center and learned about neuroplasticity, pain management and tools like cognitive behavior therapy, but not everyone is as fortunate. That's why I think the Curable App is such a blessing and useful tool for self-advocacy.
How did you come by the App? I often wonder if doctors ever recommend it.
