The day I was excepted as a US Pain Foundation Ambassador changed the way I perceived myself and my pain. I live with disabling high impact chronic pain and I have undergone 24 surgeries and I m only 50. Becoming an Ambassador and Advocate gave me more than just up to the minute information on all the new legislation it gave me credibility. Not just with all my doctors but myself. I became very successful at a very young age but due to severe Crohn's Disease and as well as many other diagnoses related to Crohn s left me disabled at the age of 41. I lost myself in my pain. But I found myself again as an inspiration to other pain fighters as an advocate. I became a pain warrior instead of a pain worrier. I have started my own support group and I feel like I have purpose again. Thank you US Pain Foundation
