Would love to hear thoughts on this!! For those with #chronicpain, how do you feel about the term #paincatastrophizing?
Check out the feature on #paincatstrophizing in this month's issue of @thejournal_pain! Where do you stand? Should we shift our language to reduce #stigma ? How might a change impact our research? jpain.org/current

Another great study showing that sleep is incredibly important in the management of #chronicpain #sleep #insomnia
Original: Emily Law, @TonyaPalermo, & @seewantham found that more severe insomnia in adolescents with #ChronicPain was associated with greater problems with executive function, lower engagement in self-management and worse treatment outcomes.

In clinic, so many of my patients with fibro experience fibro fog and comorbid sleep disturbance. If we can successfully improve sleep, perhaps we can also improve their cognitive symptoms!
Investigating cognitive impairments in #Fibromyalgia
🛌🛌 Study shows that sleep disturbance mediates attentional impairments in Fibromyalgia & "may be a target for improving...cognitive performance"
Great work @DrJennaWilson @DrSMeints @DaveMoore_Pain

In our new @PAINthejournal paper, we examined #race differences in inflammatory mediators of #chronicpain. In Whites, CRP, serum amyloid A, IL-6 and IL-4 are associated with pain at rest but in Blacks, only IL-1 is! @PainBurel tinyurl.com/2wsj6ckx

While I believe heath care is a right, not a privilege, for those of you more worried about 💵, health disparities are costing the US $451 annually. Let this be a call to you to join the fight to make healthcare equitable! @USASP_DIA_SIG #HealthEquity tinyurl.com/3hbs52v7
