With September here, summer is quickly waving us goodbye and autumn is shouting in HELLO! This is our month. It is Chronic Pain Awareness Month. September also includes National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week (Sept. 8th - 14, 2008)! Chronic Pain Awareness Month helps to draw attention to; the importance of educating the general public of the growing number of people who suffer with chronic pain and its under treatment, to create an awareness of the opportunities and the beneficial programs that are presently available to us, spotlight the need for our congressional leaders to pass legislation to fund more research into ways to control or eliminate chronic pain and to give us an opportunity to work with grass root organizations within our communities in whatever capacity our illness allows.
