Dear Cynthia:
I am a mother of a young 27 year old chronic pain sufferer who is where you were when at your worst. I want to know where she can get treatment for chronic abdominal pain in the Fairview (Portland) Oregon area. The pain of the illness is not as bad as the pain inflicted by her HMO medical community (Kaiser) by their disbelief and their blame of her for her illness.
I have researched her problem continually and will not give up until she finds a healing. Who practices this therapy in her area.
Thanks, Bettymae Koopman

I am a 49 year old woman, wife and mother of three
wonderful children. I have chronic back & leg pain that now makes my
entire body hurt at times. I have had two lumbar surgery’s, the last one
to replace two discs with artificial ones. I am so much better and am very
thankful but still have pain every day. I am so inspired by your story, I
can’t wait to try the Feldenkrais method. Thank you for sharing. Best of
luck!

I am a 19 year old college student. I was diagnosed with RSD in the 7th grade after an allergic reaction to a fire ant bite on my foot didn’t end with abnormal swelling. After spreading to my hand I underwent intense physical therapy, spinal blocks, and various other treatments . Then suddenly it miraculously went away, but recently sprained my ankle, and lo and behold it’s back again. I’m also a dancer, though I prefer ballroom and belly dance to ballet, so your story really touched me. I hope I shall quickly recover from this onset as well.

I think that is great that you can do that. I was a scuba diver. Maybe, just just maybe I can imagine in my mind maybe m maybe I can bring myself in the Florida keys once more where I spent 19 years of my life before I was diagnosed with R.S.D.. Looking at all the beautiful fish, quietness of the ocean, 30 feet down.. I will try this. Keep going, Keep DANCING…
