Discussions of pain often focus on where in the body your pain occurs and, say, impact of weather change on pain levels.

However today in one of our Facebook communities a reader asked about time of day when you pain is greatest.

We thought this was a great subject to include in our series of pain management blogs.  To see previous posts please have a look at https://patienttalk.org/?tag=pain-management

To kick start a discussion we thought we would run a poll asking this very simple and important question “At what time of day is your pain at its worse?”.  The poll is below so please do take part.

Feel free to use the comments box to expand on your answers.

Thanks very much in advance

Power Strips a way of managing pain and stress – a guest post by Kelli Rigby-Chilingarian


Kelli Rigby-Chilingarian has very kindly written a guest post for a new product she is marketing.powerstrips  The aim of this guest post is to introduce you to this product.  Please use the comments box to ask her any questions about the product. She says

We have a PATENTED product called Power Strips, a fusion of modern energy and ancient herbs. When worn (like a patch) the Power Strips are proven to relieve ALL types of bodily pain including headaches, and migraines. This product is approved, and listed by the FDA as a Class 1 Medical Device (no prescription needed). This has never been done before in network marketing, we are the FIRST. F G Xpress is a new division of a 10 year old company called Forever Green.
The PowerStrips are derived from 5 Technologies.
The first is a water soluble patented process, this allows for skin friendly adhesive.
The second contains a Far-Infrared (Germanium based) technology which is incorporated in to the base of the strip. The Germanium helps to collect the energy that the body gives off and refocuses it back into the body, but in the Far-Infrared Spectrum (watch the Video clip below).
The third is Korean Red Ginseng. The Korean Red Ginseng is infused in to the adhesive portion of the patch, which defuses through the skin into the body. Korean Red Ginseng has many benefits for the body; it helps to manage pain and stress. It helps out the immune system and also has the ability to have an adaptability effect on one’s blood pressure when used on a regular basis.
The fourth is the Alpha 3 CMP Marine Phytoplankton, this is proprietary to this company, and no one else is going to have it. This provides one of the best single sources of nutrition that is available in one place.
The Fifth and final technology is Silver. Silver helps to protect against infection. It tends to have strong anti-microbial functions. Power Strips Video (10:04) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUh_RFo9z4Q

How does the change in the seasons and temperature impact your pain levels?

With Winter drawing in in the Northern hemisphere conversation on our pages has turned to how the cold weather might affect pain levels.  This is very much the case for people with fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis.

For some winter means increased pain but for others the opposite is true.

As part of our series of pain management blogs we have decided to run a poll of our readers to see if there is any pattern.   It would be great if you could take part in the poll below.

Feel free to use the comments box to add anything you think will be of interest to our readers.

We were wondering what the views of our readers are on the question.
