"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." ~Herm Albright
"If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one." ~Cavett Robert

"Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day." ~Dr. Yogi
The secret of having a positive attitude is not a new concept when it comes to dealing with chronic conditions, especially pain management.
There have been numerous research studies showing over and over that those with a positive attitude have a greater response to treatments, report lower pain scores and show increase in function compared to those that do not.
This is often difficult to maintain when dealing with chronic pain, which can often be debilitating.
A positive attitude is a tool you must have in your tool box when dealing with chronic pain.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ~Winston Churchill.
