People who live with chronic conditions suffer with them on a twenty four hour a day basis. The aches, soreness of joints or lack of mobility because of back problems are rarely controlled by medications or other treatments. Some relief may be available from pain support groups online.
Family and friends sometimes feel that you are overly dramatic regarding what is happening to your body or accuse you of imagining the problem when you speak of it. What you can expect to find in these internet rooms is non-judgmental acceptance from people who are experiencing the same things that you are going through. This sharing between yourself and others has proven to be very therapeutic for participants and may actually help with the depression that accompanies chronic conditions.
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.
They can offer encouragement that will help you continue to cope with your living situation and with the day to day living problems you may face. Best of all you will find someone who is available to talk twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. When you are unable to sleep at three in the morning chances are someone else is having the same problem and is looking for a friend to speak with.
The rooms that are available for chat on the internet number in the thousands and you can find a group that deals with your condition without too much trouble. Most sites will suggest that you sit back and watch the interchanges in the room for awhile before joining in. You will find that some rooms have a more positive attitude than others demonstrate.
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 have been taken that show a large body of participation in internet support meetings. Participants regard it as a form of people healing people system that allows the freedom to reveal the lessons they have learned over the years they have been enduring their pain. Some consider the fact that they may help another person carry their burden a therapeutic reward worth having.
In the past people suffering from chronic conditions were left to their own devices to find ways of coping. The only option was traveling to a hospital or medical building where small gatherings of others who may be suffering the same or a similar problem met on a weekly basis. With internet access to thousands of group meetings available you can find instant access to someone who understands and may be able to help.
