My new site finally goes Live
Que the Fanfare peeeeerrrrrlease! Do-do-dooo-do-do-do-doooooo
It is with much a do about nothing that I can officially announce that the new website Ive been working on the for the last month or so has finally gone live.
Called "living with Chronic Pain" it is an interactive patient support site very similar to the ostomy site but obviously revolving around Chronic pain.
The URL of the site is: http://www.chronicpainsupport.info/ and is fully PHP Powered - meaning users can add content to the site using WYSIWYG editors (mini Word Processor text boxes) as well as having user accounts and more.
Features of Chronicpainsupport.info include:
• Detailed information on major pain-related conditions such as Neuropathic pain, Neuralgia, Fibromyalgia and more!
• Fully categorised Message Board
• 24/7 Chat Room with Weekly Meeting
• FREE User Journals – use it to monitor your pain score, or to just keep track of the things you’ve done today!
• User reviews – Post your review on anything pain related. Be it a TV program, a book or a website etc.
• Live Pain News Feeds – all the latest news direct from the major pain organisations
• User Surveys/Polls – have your vote on the important pain issues of the day!
• Comprehensive Pain-related bookstore in association with Amazon.co.uk and .com
The site is 100% free, however to be able to access all of the website and to be able to post on the message board a FREE username account is required, but it’s a dead simple process to sign up.
You are the first people that I’ve announced the site with as I wanted you all to be the first to know about it. Without all your support here this site would never have grown to the size it has, and therefore there would’ve been no reason for to think about creating a site for one of the other main “taboo” or rather “swept under the mat” health issues today that isn’t as fully supported on the net as it should be, Chronic Pain.
Everyone here is welcome to have a look at the site, register and have a play, use the journals, read the news, post your own pain news, visit the boards, and of course visit the chat room once it goes live next month!
I hope you all enjoy this latest addition to the ostomysupport.info family. I guess that this new site makes us a “network” now.

Readers Thoughts
Congratulations on the new site - hope it's as successful as ostomy site, and causes you less, rather than more, pain in your life :)

Hi there Jason,
Hope you don't mind me reading your journal...i've only just discovered it...lol!
I've only read one page but i'm going to read them all later.....from reading just one page i never knew you was in so much pain! (((( ))))
I've also seen that the powers that be aren't happy with the Halloween chat night....excuse my language but what knobheads eh?!! I gather it went down a storm that night....shame you got an email telling you off for creating a wonderful night.
Anyway i'm rambling now......i'm going to have a good read of your journal later...keep up the good work with the stoma board...we all love you x
Love Denise xx
