Hazel during this week and all of those that are suffering from the pain. Many prayers that as awareness is spread there will be more answers for you and our children.

Thank you for that Christy-funny, I have a cold at the moment and my hand is feeling like your funny bone does when you hit it....only more prickly and jagged. It's copable with but sometimes I just get so sick of it, and sick of people not understanding, or even worse, thinking they DO understand....'I broke my arm once I know exactly how you feel' gggggggrrr:0) Yes I'm feeling a bit low today, your kind words made me feel better so thanks again.

Thanks for your post Cristy...I know that Hazes mum would appreciate your thoughts. Lets hope that the message will spread, and those that are able to make a real difference can and will.

I too, would like to remember Hazel this week, but also
to say a big thank you to Liz and jenny for all of their hard work with people suffering a tbpi
You are making a difference girls!
well done both of you

Yesterday I was going through old mails to try and find some info Hazel had sent (Liz and I did a lot of the 'up front' work on the tbpi site, but Hazel was very active in the background and provided a LOT of info and encouragement for us) and I found a mail from her dated March where she was very down and miserable and in pain. She ended the mail by reassuring me that she was ok and that I shouldn't worry, it upset me very much to read it. PLEASE, if anyone reading this is in intractable pain, reach out for help and support. Anyone posting here will be glad to 'talk' or help you find answers. Don't feel you have to minimise your suffering so as not to be too much trouble to those who care about you.
