Approximately 40% of people living with #ChronicPain are in the workforce and employers can be a critical force in supporting these individuals while also addressing pain's impact on health care costs and productivity. #mentalhealth

This study in the @JournalofPain is small but mighty! It found that the three pivotal conditions needed to live well despite #chronicpain are:

Care partnership
Nuturing environments
Breaking free from previous life

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.

Healthcare needs some real re-engineering. My 169 minute experience with the system last Friday says it all:

Thank you @Health_Affairs for publishing my piece on innovating in payment models for #chronicpain care:

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In her new Forefront article, @marabaeragohlth of AgoHealth, LLC argues that the future of accountable care in Medicare looks promising but cannot fully achieve its goals without laser focus on the needs of those in chronic pain, which will only grow as the population ages. https://t.co/ouMfEvYRcf

[Mara Baer @marabaeragohlth]

@Health_Affairs Thank you for publishing my piece in this important topic. One in four Americans live in #chronicpain and as our nation ages public programs will be tasked with developing targeted payment solutions for #pain. There is more work to do!

It's National Family #Caregivers Month! Did you know that #chronicpain caregiving has its own challenges and solutions? I wrote about it in this piece including highlighting strategies recommended by @DrZoffness and @AlanGordonLCSW here:

Hiding with any #healthcondition is isolating and can lead to #depression and other #mentalhealth challenges. When our workplaces foster #inclusion it can feel safer and we can stop hiding.

When we give words to our pain journey, we can feel seen and heard. I started writing ✍️ about my pain about a year ago (see bio for more). Writing about it gave me strength and power and healing. Have you tried to write about your chronic pain? #chronicpain #writersofinstagram

[Mara Baer @marabaeragohlth]

I'll be honest, when I first learned this approach from a pain coach I was skeptical. But it is a tool in my toolbox that has helped me manage #pain and feel less threatened by it. #paincare #therapy #cbttherapy #painreprocessingtherapy #chronicpain #chronicpainwarrior

[Mara Baer @marabaeragohlth]

I've used #somatic tracking to gain new awareness of how my #chronicpain presents itself, reminding myself that I was safe and that physical activities were not going to hurt me. This lessened pain. #paincare #chronicpainmanagement #paineducation #paintherapy #somatictracking

@sharimaurer I submitted! Hope to hear from you. TY!

[Mara Baer @marabaeragohlth]

If you prevent yourself from feeling your feelings, they may harbor themselves in your body, which can lead to more pain for longer periods of time. I know! We don't have to grin and bear it. #anxiety #anxietyrelief #anxietysupport #feelings #pain #paincare #chronicpain

[Mara Baer @marabaeragohlth]

When I wrote about #anxiety and #chronicpain it garnered a lot of attention. This is because the link is so powerful and can be disabling. Like we saw in the movie #InsideOut 2 - anxiety can cripple us. So can #pain. https://t.co/p4zZJxs7Ri
