Retired peace officer MSW
A little about me, Iām a retired prison guard, 14 years menās state prison, when I medically retired because my body was failing me I knew it was time to use my mind. I got my BS in general psychology and then went on to get my MSW, clinical social work. Ive also written a published childrenās book titled The adventures of CeCee and Diddy.
Iāve been on pain medication for the better part of a decade, had cortisone INJECTIONS, RFA, acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy, you name it. The only thing I ever got was temporary relief and my pain was all of my waking hours. One gift I had is I always slept well. I would love to be part of this cause and help in any way. I know first hand how debilitating chronic pain can beā¦ Iāve missed many events and occasions due to pain. I canāt wait to start living life again free of prescriptions, dealing with medication shame from doctors and pharmacies and not worrying I will become more disabled because of medication shortages and manufacture back orders. My husband and I live in the beautiful foothills of Northern California, about an hour from Yosemite. We have 5 dogs, a cat, koi and ann aviary full of small birds.
Here's a great episode to get you started featuring podcast host, Madalyn Sklar. Hear her journey about living with chronic pain and finding relief from a plant that has worked better than years of pharmaceuticals.
