Applegran has been a regular poster for some time.

The op has been on this forum for at least 7 years I think.

I personally do not think she needed reporting.

I think the post is fine and could be helpful.

The OP is not trying to sell magic potions, she is giving links to articles which could be of help to others.

I am dismayed to see that keepingquiet has reported my post - and am very sorry if it is in some way out of order. I posted it in the hope and wish to help others and do not understand why it needed to be reported. But if it is inappropriate or could cause harm, I hope GN will remove it. Otherwise, i hope it will help someone somewhere.

Like everyone else I have had physical pain in my life, but I know that there are many people who live with constant pain. I can hardly imagine how hard that must be and wish I could offer a magic cure. I cannot do that, but do want to share some information which might help - and it is not about more and more pain killers.
These are resources from qualified people and they do not offer instant or magical relief - but they have helped many people and I hope this may help some one at least.

I am not medically trained but these are resources I have learnt about because someone I care about has chronic pain. I hope others will look at these possible ways ahead, make up their own minds, and consider finding a way ahead - and of course if in doubt , consult your doctor.
