At times, managing chronic pain can feel like a lonely existence. 

TLC Pain Management - Vernon offers an online Facebook group and a monthly pain meeting where you can find support and like-minded people who truly understand what it's like to live in pain due to accidents, chronic illness and many other reasons for having pain.

Their next pain meeting is tomorrow at the Schubert Center in Vernon from 1-3 p.m.  

"We will be having a doTerra Essentials Oils talk and show how these natural products can help you manage your pain," stated a group spokesperson. 

"If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. Essential oils give plants their distinctive smells, essential oils protect plants and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and their beautiful fragrance, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices."
