Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 At the LPA Online website section listing groups, there are two listed for LP teenagers, but only one appears to be active. In our " A Place For LP's In Chronic Pain " (_aplaceforlpsinchronicpain _ (mailto:aplaceforlpsinchronicpain ) ), I created it with the intention we are also for LP teens and children, since they too, have some very daunting pain issues. At present, along with their parents, we have four. Until recently, we had five, but one young one tragically passed away. We also encourage parents of LP's to join as well. In our group description and rules, we make it very clear we are " kidsafe. " My goal is to eventually have separate, and still very safe LP Pain Groups----one specifically for teens and one specifically for children, depending upon the need, because so often they literally have nowhere else TO go to share what they may be experiencing in challenging pain issues, which also provides a compassionate, supportive, positive, and even fun place for their needs. Because we ARE providing a " kidsafe " group, my co-owner/moderator, JoAnn, and myself have to work especially hard at KEEPING our group kidsafe. Despite our group description, you all would NOT believe some of the stuff we have encountered. Yet we must be doing something right, because the parents of LP children in our group are all so thrilled to have found us, which makes us not only feel very happy, but makes the effort all the more worthwhile for their behalf. The LP children with our Pain Group have some of the toughest physical challenges of anyone I have ever known. Their sheer courage and spirit, besides that of their parents, are far too amazing and touching for words. Adelaide In a message dated 11/6/06 7:05:35 A.M.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Yes, I/we are also aware of this, which is exactly why we encourage the parents of LP's with pain issues to join---for themselves, and on behalf of their child too. Also to please feel free to monitor our present Pain Group, and hopefully any future ones created someday for more specific ages and needs of LP minors---all kidsafe and supportive.
