Dr. Liptan Answering Your Questions About Pain Management  Saturday, February 18th, 1-4 PM
Please join us for an informative meeting with Dr. Ginevra Liptan. She will be speaking on, and answering your questions about, pain management.
Do you wonder when you should take your pain medication? What about how to know when your pain is too much and whether you should go to the emergency room? What do you tell the doctors once you are in the emergency room? Have you always secretly wondered about medical marijuana? No topic is off limits! So, please come to our February pain management meeting and bring your questions. |

January Webinar Recording Available  | | Tami Stackelhouse, Fibromyalgia Coach |
Tami Stackelhouse, group Co-Leader and Fibromyalgia Coach, gave our January webinar on Gentle Health Goal Setting.
Tami walked us through the process of choosing an appropriate goal, creating a vision of what that goal looked like, taking stock of where we were right then, then writing down the baby steps to reach our goal.
From the webinar we were able to take with us a plan of action to help pull us towards our goal - and the knowledge that we can use this process on any goal we want to reach.
Gentle Health Goal Recording + resources
In order to access this recording, you do need to be a member of our private web group. Anyone can join, membership is free and there are no monthly dues.
The video of our January in-person meeting has not yet been posted. We had a wonderful meeting with tax accountant Samantha Pahlow, CPA. She spoke on "Helping Your Medical Expenses Pay You Back." Because she works for an accounting firm, she is having to have her legal department review the video before we can upload it to our site. We hope to make that available shortly.
