It's really nice! I really like how you write - very to the point, unlike a lot of other journals. The job market now is so competitive, you have to have a perfect resume. There is a very affordable consulting service a friend of mine used. It is at http://www.www.ResumeQA.com.com/Review_My_Resume.html. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for having this site. I'll bookmark it and visit regularly. Keep up the great work! Hi – I don’t comment on many blogs but had to on yours. It’s really nice!

And it dramatically impacts a persons ability to function. The problems around treating pain and getting effective treatment are huge, as they are with fatigue and our current system isn't set up to deal with this. Thanks for pointing this out!

This findrxonline what Not only is the price of a consultation very steep (usually around $500 for initial and $250+ for follow ups) but then there is also the cost of expensive shots and medications. There are also many people who need surgery but who can’t afford it. For others who already had surgery and are still experiencing chronic pain there may not even be any solution besides ongoing pain management with strong pain medications. Often your local physician will stop prescribing pain medication when surgery is recommended but not performed or when pain medication is required for longer periods of time. If you’re lucky you’ll get 30-60 tabs of Vicodin or Lortab which will cost around $140 for the consultation plus a few bucks for the medication itself. Most people don’t realize how hard it is for legit pain patients to find a doctor who is willing to help you out without charging an arm and a leg.

Great insights. Rosalind,

It is tough to take a calculated risk, and I really like your "take" on this question. When we allow opinions from other people to dictate our plans, that is certainly taking a cookie cutter approach! I'm so glad to have you in the Career Collective and look forward to your future posts! Thanks for sharing this story!
