By Essie Osborn


If you are one of the millions of people who live their lives in constant discomfort from a chronic condition you may have tried many different ways to help alleviate or mitigate your distress. Medications and other treatments can only do so much to help and options beyond the doctor's office may be limited or expensive. You may find the answer to your dilemma in pain support groups online.

This type of group therapy has proven to be successful for thousands of people who suffer from a wide variety of problems. It can provide assistance in ways that no doctor or therapist can. Knowing that you are in touch with someone who knows exactly what you are going through because they have endured the same conditions can be somehow healing in nature.

The members of the room can also give you hope that you will survive the low points in your treatment when you may have reached a point of giving up. They can share their own experiences with you and occasionally offer advice regarding ways to achieve temporary relief. They may also be able to direct you to different treatment plans or doctors.

Difficulty sleeping is a common complaint for those who are chronically in agony. When this happens you will most likely be able to find a kindred spirit in the room you frequent. The concept of having someone who will help you cope and make encouraging statements regarding your situation at anytime of the day or night is comforting. Developing friendships with the other members can help you get through long painful nights and days.

With the wide variety and massive number of rooms available to choose from the different types of chronic ailments covered is substantial. There should be many options open for you to make your selection from. All of the rooms may not be the right fit for you so it is recommended that you visit several of them and sit back and listen to the conversations that are going on to find the one that appeals to you.

Some sites offer live forums where you can speak to others face to face if you choose to do so. These sites take away some of the anonymous atmosphere of the sharing but may serve to give a more personal face to the rooms where it is available. Many people prefer this method of attending the group of their choice.

Surveys suggest that thousands of people use these meetings on a daily basis. Over twenty three percent of sufferers find them to be helpful to their conditions help to reduce depression that can be overwhelming. Most enjoy being able to assist others with dealing with their problems when they are in need.

In the past there was virtually no way that individuals could connect with others who shared their pain. Today with access to the internet any person can become part of a community of people who can relate to them and share the hope that comes with understanding. There is no longer a need to travel to weekly meetings with those whose problems may not be the same as yours. Support systems may truly be evolving.
