In this edition of Sunday Conversations, we continued our series on comorbidities with a focus on pain. A panel of three presenters from the Massachusetts Pain Initiative (MassPI) presente on the work their organization does to improve the lives of people suffering from pain through knowledge, education, and policy reform. Cindy Steinberg discussed her role in past and current legislative actions, both locally and nationally. Jackie Orent-Nathan talked about pain neuroscience and about solutions that use neuroplasticity to influence the reorganization of neural networks. Michele Matthews focused on medications and provided the "Ins and Outs of Medications for Pain and Symptom Management".

Notice about names
The Massachusetts ME/CFS & FM Association would like to clarify the use of the various acronyms for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Chronic Fatigue & Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) on this site. When we generate our own articles on the illness, we will refer to it as ME/CFS, the term now generally used in the United States. When we are reporting on someone else’s report, we will use the term they use. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal agencies, including the CDC, are currently using ME/CFS.
Massachusetts ME/CFS & FM Association changed its name in July, 2018, to reflect this consensus.
