Been told the 'powers that be' are stopping my Pain Group sessions for people with chronic pain at the end of the year. No one has asked the group who attend what we have got out of going, what benefits etc. Just money saving? False economy, why stop something that is working? What is the alternative - more medication, more GP visits, it does not make any sense. All the patients are horrified that this is stopping, as we all have and do benefit from attending, learning such a lot and talking to other patients with similar problems. So sad, as chronic pain can only be managed at the stage I have reached and that is exactly what the groups did for me. I for one cannot manage without this vital treatment. Don't know how I'll manage?

Hi there,

have you thought of starting a petition to try to stop this or writing to your local MP ?
