Test Subjects Needed for Book on Staying Organized with Chronic Pain

I am in the process of writing a book on how to stay organized while dealing with chronic pain. If you suffer from any type of chronic pain, please take time to fill out the information below (cut & paste) and e-mail it to me at connie@anewbeginningorganizing.com. Please put "TEST SUBJECT" in the subject line.

QUSTIONS FOR TEST SUBJECTS FOR ORGANIZING THROUGH THE FOG, HELPING CHRONIC PAIN/FATIGUE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO LEARN HOW TO ORGANIZE THEIR LIVES.


1. How would you classify your pain/fatigue level? Constant – totally bed ridden, Constant - yet functioning and dealing with it, Intermittent – I have my good days and bad days, Totally Pain/Fatigue Free – fully functioning.

2. If you have constant pain/fatigue how are you coping with it?

3. If you have intermittent pain/fatigue what percentage of your week is spent with pain or fatigued?

4. How are you dealing with your pain/fatigue (i.e. medications, herbal supplements, microcurrent, exercise, etc)?

5. If you still have pain/fatigue, do you just curl up in bed and hide or what do you do?

6. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being in excruciating pain/fatigue, where do you rate your pain/fatigue most of the time?

7. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being excruciating pain/fatigue, how does your living environment make you feel?

8. What tips do you have for others that you use to stay organized? If you aren’t organized, what is your biggest frustration and what would you like help with to get organized?

9. Do you have a support system? If so, do they help you stay organized and if so, do they keep you in the loop of what they are doing?

10. If you could change one thing to improve your living environment to make it more organized what would it be? You don’t have to have the answer to how do it; I’ll try to provide it in the book.

11. How do you want to be identified in the book – please list either your full name, your first name and last name initial, initials only, or anonymous.
