Women's Health - Hormones play a huge role in chronic pain issues for women.  This is especially true for women over 30.  Dr. Larry Komer and his wife Joan have been doing seminars on Menopause and Self-Esteem.  Their DVDs are especially helpful and interesting.  Dr. Komer has a DVD on 8 Big Ideas In Women's Health that I recommend every woman and her partner should see.  Understanding Menopause is also a must see DVD for women and their partners. His new Bio-identical Hormones DVD will be a great help for any women considering hormone replacement therapies and the new natural alternatives now available. www.drkomer.com

Men's Health - Many of the pain conditions facing men are associated with aging and hormone issues.  The Masters Men's Clinic has excellent DVDs on men's health and especially Andropause - the men's equivalent of women's menopause.  Every man over 40 should see these important DVDs.  The clinic now has an online survey that is helpful in measuring the effects of aging and the risks of depression.  You can also book a phone  consultation.  Well worth it.  www.mastersmensclinic.com

Pharmacy - The pharmacy and the pharmacist are among the most under-used and yet valuable resources for people with pain conditions.  In a one-of-a-kind presentation, York Downs Pharmacist David Garshowitz presents how your pharmacy can help you.  He also discusses the Seven Vitalities of Life that gives perspective on our life and values.  This is a key resource for people who use chronic pain medication, supplements and compounded medications.  www.yorkdownsrx.com
