Today I want to talk about the high cost of ineffective chronic pain management for the individual, family and friends. It’s also costing society as a whole over $600 Billion a year in medical costs and lost productivity. Many people I’ve worked with over the past 29 years have lost careers their marriage and even had their homes foreclosed on due to the loss of their job. Other people have lost custody of children or even experienced legal problems from using illicit drugs in an attempt to stop suffering.

I believe one of the main reasons for these high costs are due to most people undergoing chronic pain management are only medicated-AKA symptom management. All the best practice chronic pain management standards state that to address chronic pain effectively requires and integrated multidisciplinary team. I take that a step further and urge that the pain patient is the Captain of this team.

Today I want to share how I managed a migraine headache I woke up with today. One of the most important things was to immediately get into action and complete my preplanned pain flare up strategies. I used my medication (Excedrin Migraine) right away then used self-hypnosis and meditation. The last step was to then complete my daily gratitude list. Learning to identify pain flare up triggers is crucial and he was able to identify his as being an unresolved emotional stressors that I was experiencing when I went to bed.  I have been very fortunate not to suffer with my pain flare ups for over 28 years and I believe freedom from suffering is everyone’s right but it’s also a responsibility.
