Support Group Presentation: 

 While planning this year’s conference the planning
 committee decided that it would be a good opportunity
 to demonstrate just what goes on at our meetings.  It
 would also be an excellent opportunity to touch on a
 number of items that are mentioned on the evaluation
 sheets.  So the dialogue will include such topics as:

· Trying to make people understand how difficult it is
to live with chronic pain 
 
· The problem of being followed by insurance people
with video cameras 
 
· The difficulty of getting CPP, and other significant
issues
