I have been disabled by a chronic facial pain disorder, known as trigeminal neuralgia, since 1977. 

I have written a book about my experience entitled A PAINED LIFE, a chronic pain journey. 

It is the first and only book written about the day to day experience of living with chronic debilitating pain.  It ends before the Miracle I have written about in my BeliefNet journal. 

As a result of the Gift God has given me I have been able to do more.  I am currently taking a course and will become a certified hypnotherapist early next year.  I also have taught relaxation technique and hope to get new students come the new year. 

If you are interested you can read the first chapter of my book at https://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/book_excerpt.asp?bookid=18435

I joined this community to share my story and to hear that of others whom God has touched in any way, from the Grand to the mundane.

It would be nice to have some good old fasshioned converstaion about anything and I hope to find that here.
