For Grace was honored to be a contributing resource in an October 15th Ms. Magazine article. The piece, titled "Gender Bias in Healthcare Is Playing a Dangerous Role in COVID-19 Care", highlights dismissal of women's symptoms as common, adding that there is rampant sexism in US healthcare. As source material for the article, For Grace's 2014 Women In Pain Survey was used, a survey that discovered that when women report pain it is often dismissed as emotional distress.

Check out For Grace’s November Story of the Month. Woman in pain Rebecca May’s simple handspring and ensuing snap changed her life forever. She quickly developed CRPS and Kienbock’s Disease, both which went undiagnosed for years. She took pills and wore a cast, but nothing helped. Eventually, Rebecca regained quality of life by discovering her pain triggers and conserving energy. Also, by using laughter. As she shares, “Humor gets me through the toughest parts.”

Join host Cynthia Toussaint on her next episode of The Mighty's "The Pain-Cancer Connection"!  This Monday, October 26th @ 1pm PST, Cynthia will interview chronic pain patient and advocate, Tom Norris, about his three decade journey with pain that was initiated by aggressive cancer treatment. Cynthia and Tom will share how the cancer recovery phase is often painful and anxiety-ridden - and how to remain resilient and forward moving during this most challenging time. Looking forward to your great comments and questions!
