Our hour of pain

What is pain? There are many kinds of pain, and discussing the nuances of the types of pain could take up many postings. I do plan to discuss evaluating the types of pain further, but first I think I need to address the most usual ways of treating pain because that is all that a person who is in pain is really concerned about. Pain, especially physical pain can be all encompassing to the person who is in its grip. Victor Hugo said "swiftly runs the sands of time except in our hour of pain."

Welcome to my new Blog, dedicating to helping relieving suffering in whatever ways work

Hello! I hope that you will enjoy my new blog, dedicated to helping those of us - including myself at times who suffer with pain. I believe that people need to know all their options for pain relief, including "alternative methods." The alternative methods of today, if they are real, will survive and become the popular methods of tomorrow, unless they are suppress by those with nefarious interests. However, I also believe that suffering people should be fully aware of all of the traditional methods of pain relief, including morphine and other opiates.

This problem is vast, and I am looking forward to exploring it thoroughly. I want to take both an open and critical view at all the methods of pain relief that are offered. It is my earnest hope and prayer that something in this blog will help you or someone you love.
