Chronic Pain Class

Today was the first of my five session classes for Chronic Pain at the VA.
I am, as usual, the only female in the class. Though I hear it more often that there are more and more women Vets utilizing the VA system, I haven't seen it myself and many times it seems folks think I am a dependant.
This class is structured on how we who experience Chronic Pain can enjoy and build a better lifestyle and find ways and means to overcome some of the pain.
Stress was the main point in todays session and I find myself proud of the many things I have done to decress stress in my daliy life.
I am looking forward to next weeks class.
