Saturday, 29 Jul 2017. Issue #68.
In this edition: Imagine what it feels like when invisible pain becomes visible. When your grandparents are more active than you are. The number one cause of death in the world is from chronic illnesses. 81% of patients report pain relief using Quell. Acceptance means gaining a new perspective, and not giving up. Kindness is the best way to heal. How you can be an ally to the chronically ill. Don’t let pride stand in your way of using a scooter for MS (multiple sclerosis). A story of disbelief, and the resentment that follows. Unfurling from the cocoon of pain thanks to marijuana.

I hope we keep taking steps in the right direction 🙂
I didn’t know that chronic illness was the number one cause of death.
Invisible pain is a real issue. I can see how it is an epidemic. If we can ease the pain and believe people who are ill, then I think that we’ve taken a step in the right direction.
