I hope Ms. Grey will be an active spokesperson. First thing though that needs to be done, from my perspective, is changing National Pain Awareness Month to National CHRONIC pain awareness Month. It means nothing as it now stands.
As a chronic intractable pain patient for over 30 years, and an advocate for women in pain awareness, I am very frustrated by the lack of attention to the issue of those in chronic pain except as potential felons and abusers of narcotic medications. Maybe Ms. Grey can help to change the stereotyped face shown by the media.
