How in 1996, the INPUT Pain Management Programme saved me popping endless medications, doctors/therapy shopping, feeling hopeless and stuck in the medical model of care.

Managing persistent can take time (well it was that way for me and it took a year to be totally free of the pain meds) but once I got the hang of it, learning self management skills got me back on track and in the driving seat and haven’t looked back. Having a plan, being consistent and having purpose was the key.

The program taught me life long skills which have been useful for other health challenges, when they came along like arthritis and prostate cancer.

Now I’m an older person I use them more than ever, so I can still do the things I like and want to do like riding my motorcycle and this year, traveling in my van.
