Hi! My name is Indie Cooper-Guzman! I am a Registered Nurse Consultant and Educator specializing in Pain Management. You may have met me on either the Migraine or the Pain Management message board at WebMD.
I have met some really terrific folks over the years I have been with WebMD. Quite a few of them have been visiting just about as long as I have been here! I consider them part of my "online family" and we are like family! If you stop by to visit, I think you will quickly see why.

Many folks on my boards come by to share and care. I count it a privilege to have met and learned from them and I am thankful for the many kind words they have shared with me over the years. We have laughed together, cried togther, prayed together and shared a lot of ourselves together. Many of the subjects we talk about can be difficult and personal at times but we have built a sense of trust amongst us that enables us to do so.

If I were to develop an image for my boards, it would be one of me sitting in a high-back rocking chair on an old fashioned wrap-around porch on a comfortable day with many friends stopping by to visit. Sometimes there might be only one or two. Other times there might be many. We might be sitting and talking together as an entire group at one time or there may be several little groups of folks sharing mini chats in different areas of my porch.

Sometimes there might be lighthearted laughing such as when the Bungie Belles are discussing or planning one of their special pain-relieving parties or there might be a serious heartfelt conversation where folks might rally around to offer support and prayer for one of us who might be going through a very rough time. No matter what it is, I hope each and every person who stops by will feel a sense of compassion and care on my porch. I may not have immediate answers to all your questions but I can check some resources for you. And if I still can't find answers, I will do my best to offer direction to help you find them. I know other folks will also help when they can.

One thing is for sure, everyone who comes seeking information or understanding will be welcomed warmly and invited to sit down and visit. There will always be room and a place to sit just waiting for you!
