For many people, managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind, body, and spirit.

You're only a victim once. The next time you're an accomplice.

An expert is just somebody from out of town with slides.

I don't think we spend enough time in reflection and introspection. We don't know who we are as individuals in this culture any more.

Once you start to question your life you get to a higher level of awareness. It's like turning a light on-voila you see you have choices and choices are sacred.

You shouldn't be ashamed of your pain. You have the right to have your pain treated.

I'm certainly not ashamed to say that I was on some anti-depressant medications. I believe there are times in life where we have to raise our hand and say I need help. I found a good doctor.
