About the Book
The new book PainTamers: To inform, empower and equip the person with chronic pain will change your life. One in four people have chronic pain; therefore, our understanding of chronic pain has come a long way in the last 30 years. This has resulted in a greater recognition of chronic pain and the need for proper treatment and support.
One of the important things we have recently learned about pain is that it is complex. There are many different kinds of pain and there are many different responses to the types of treatments. What are your options and how can you use the knowledge of our technological age to seek true relief, so pain will no longer control your life? PainTamers looks at real world examples of the wide range of chronic pain and its varied treatments, and offers information on how to get your chronic pain under control.
“PainTamers collects the thoughts and perspectives of several people living with pain and several medical experts who practice different types of pain medicine. Pain is complex, as complex as the subject matter. Taken together, the patient stories and the perspectives of the multiple medical practitioners, PainTamers creates a complex weave that mirrors the challenge of understanding pain. You hear from doctors, scientists, psychologists, rehabilitation specialists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and many patients, and collectively, you begin to appreciate the challenges of living with pain and of helping people manage pain.” – Will Rowe, CEO, American Pain Society

About the Author
Helen M. Dearman lives with her husband near Houston. She has been a chronic pain sufferer since surviving a snow skiing incident in 1975. It wasn’t until 1985 that she learned she had fractured her back in three places. “I am not a chronic pain or a chronic pain patient; rather I am a person who has pain. I like to think I define the pain instead of it defining me.”
