"Without my pain management this would have never been possible.
With pain management almost anything is possible!!"
Dear Family and Friends,
I am writing this email today to personally ask for your support.
The
Canadian Pain Coalition is working towards a National Pain Strategy to
address the issues faced by Pain Sufferers across our great and beautiful
Country.
I am sending this request as one of Canada’s millions who suffer
excruciating amounts of pain, on a daily basis. My own personal diagnosis of
Symptomatic Tarlov Cyst Disease, a rare and not easily treatable spinal cord
disease, leaves thousands of patients around the Country and the World suffering
with no end in sight. Many illnesses still lack treatment options and
Symptomatic Tarlov Cyst Disease is just one of the many falling into that
category, within Canada.
To date, there has been NO National Pain Strategy in place to
assist Medical Practitioners with treating patients who suffer temporary,
ongoing severe and extreme amounts of pain. This missing piece of the pain
management puzzle is leaving too many patients with absolutely NO pain
management to assist in their struggle to live productive, meaningful lives.
Without this National Pain Strategy too many patients, including myself, are left to live their lives with severely limited mobility, or no mobility at all!
Without this National Pain Strategy too many patients, including myself, are left to live their lives with severely limited mobility, or no mobility at all!
As Canadians learn daily through personal experience, main stream media, or
social media about the ever-increasing challenges facing Canada’s Healthcare
System, the importance of Pain Management increases and MUST remain in the
forefront if Canada is to continue to support Rare Disease, untreatable diseases
and Chronic Pain Canadians in need. With the current limited and quickly
decreasing access to Provincially funded, Out of Country Care, treatment options
disappear for many, leaving far too many patients, such as myself, with nothing
more than a life of constant, unrelenting pain.
PLEASE support the Canadian Pain
Coalition efforts to maintain hope, and a brighter future for all of
Canada’s Pain Sufferers. Please read the below email and pass it along as much
as possible.
This is for all Canadians; for all we love.
Please visit: www.canadianpainsummit.ca and show your support by endorsing
the Canadian Pain Strategy petition today!
My family, and I thank you.......
Sincerely,
