Don’t Be Bashful: Everyone Needs a Little Help 🙂
Regardless of who you are, where you are, and what you might be doing or wish to do, there will be a time when you will need help. This is a growing list of resources that I have found helpful, whether for education, personal, health, or career purposes. Perhaps you may find what you seek here, too. If not, feel free to drop me a line here in the Comments Box or send me an email with your inquiry: diedreblake@gmail.com.

Hi Diedre
I have sent you an email but thought I’d write here as well. I am wondering if you or your readers are familiar with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), otherwise known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) – a neurological condition characterized by severe nerve pain that often accompanies Fibromyalgia. I have both, and have been shocked by the lack of education and awareness about it, especially in Canada ….traditional treatments often mean a lifetime of heavy drugs or anesthetics injected into the spine. Luckily, there are practitioners out there who believe that educating ourselves about pain, the brain and the nervous system can lead to less pain – and I have launched a web site dedicated to presenting their views, and alternative ways of thinking about pain. I hope you can drop by:

Hi Jessica! Thanks so much for both comment and email. I visited your site and think that it is and will be a wonderful resource for all who live their lives confronting pain.
