It’s NERVEmber 2018!!!!!! I remember flying on the plane back in 2009 during Oct. seeing a sea of pink everywhere and wishing that it was ORANGE! I new I needed to come up with something that could be remembered. By the time I got off the plane I had a plan set. Although Ken (my husband) said lets do PAINuary in January… I vetoed that idea and we started running full speed with the plan to implement the NERVEmber project. We have had over millions of interactions over the years from all over the world and new people learn about it every year. I love seeing the month of Orange posts on social media, the legislative support through proclamations and the awareness that NERVEmber has raised for so many nerve pain diseases over the years. Thank you all so much for join me every NERVEmber for the past 9 years to educate and raise awareness of RSD, CRPS, Nerve Pain, Neuropathy, Diabetic neuropathy, burning mouth, neuralgia and so many more! To see how the program is expanding and even that there are imitators out there shows me that I am on the right track to continue to grow and make a difference each year! Thank you for using #NERVEmber and #GoOrange for 2018 and thank you to Glen Shurtz for stepping up to be the director for the project the next two years. I love the simplicity of #GoOrange this NERVEmber!
This year we also have brought back Comic Pain Relief Show and it will take place in Tempe AZ on Nov. 18th. Which is my birthday 🙂 whootwhoot!!!!!!! For more details on the Hero of Hope awards check it out here

Thank you for your love and support!
Hope is True, Barby
