Hi everyone

[SunState]

Just wanted to say hey. Glad there's a support group for CP. Feel very alone in this. Pains no fun either. 🙂Sidney

Hello SunState, welcome to our support group. You are no longer alone. 🫠

We are here to encourage one another. Pain is never “fun” of course. I have found some comfort in knowing it will not last forever. When I have a “bad day” with double over pain as long as I am standing up -I find relief in sitting or lying down asap. After a “time out” (when I do NOT feel guilty for indulging in reading a novel, or watching Netflix), I get back up and at it. Resuming whatever I was doing earlier. If the pain continues, I will know it immediately upon standing up. Then, I can go “indulge” some more. And the way it has been for me is that this “double over with pain” level of discomfort rarely lasts for more than a few days. Then back to easier days managing pain (after every meal or snack), but not as severe. So, for me it has been an adjustment to managing my activities depending on the level of pain. I am so very thankful for a great doctor who is helping me manage my CP and am thankful for the enzymes and supplements that have been a huge help to me! Hang in there, SunState. We are all cheering for you! 🙂
