For all parents struggling with a child in chronic pain, this book is superb! Dr. Zeltzer has written a supportive and thorough book that encompasses all types of treatment options….medicine, alternative therapies, etc. The book is easy to read and supports us all through this difficult experience, giving us information and a wonderful resource to discuss specific issues with our own doctors. Another value to this book is that you, as a parent, will feel validated, as will your child….that your child’s pain is real and there ARE things your family can do to better manage it and to help him/her deal with this. As an added bonus, she lists every pediatric pain management clinic and other resources for more information. The book is written for the lay person…without the usual medical jargon…all parents with a child in pain can read and find amazing value in this!
We came across this book after my adolescent daughter had been hospitalized twice and completely disabled from migraines that started when she hit puberty. We’d crossed the country to get her the best available treatment for migraines, without much improvement. By the time we read this book, we’d exhausted all the medical options available to us and were completely desperate. Its very reasonable methods for dealing with chronic pain changed her, and therefore our, lives. We gave up looking for the most high powered doctors and found local doctors with experience in dealing with chronic pain who were in synch with the methods discussed in the book. (E.g., children with chronic pain need to function to get better, since pain is a product of the conscious mind; medications can help, but aren’t a silver bullet; yoga and biofeedback can help children cope.) One year later my daughter, although not pain free, is much, much better, and enjoying life again. She’s back in school on a regular basis, has a normal social life again, and is generally back to living her life.
My daughter has Crohn’s Disease and has been coping with a flare for over a year now. My husband and I have watched her spiral down, gradually cutting out pieces of her life and becoming more and more homebound. We always would push her to function as much as possible and she would try but, in the end, this only served to increase her anxiety about her pain and her ability (or lack thereof) to cope with it. Finally, after deciding to keep my daughter at home so that she would qualify for a school tutor, I found this book. Now, I understand that anxiety and worry physiologically "turns up the volume" on pain. It’s real pain, but it’s something that she can learn to have some control over and reduce. This book has helped me to pull various professionals into my daughter’s life (talk therapist, biofeedback therapist, Iyenger yoga instructor) that are helping her to build the coping skills that she so desperately needed. Additionally, we have changed the structure of her day at home to give her more responsibility/control for her well being and to gradually increase her confidence with being an active person again. It’s working!! She still has pain but her ability to function with it has been improving noticeably!
