My Health Story Now Live in Your App Store

(Story from MHS Founder's blog pudendalnerve.com.au) I'm a proud buttercup. Despite my many ongoing limitations, I feel I've come a long way. And today, I have a huge milestone to celebrate with you. But first, shall I reflect? The earliest evidence of being able to again participate in life was the posting of my first Instagram. It was July 2011, a few months before I began this website. I remember Instagram forming a lifeline to my creativity when my phone and a glass of water were too heavy for me.  After Instagram, more abilities began to very slowly unravel. I began to sit a little longer, think broader, and make a little more. I started building ideas a little grander and executing them.  Over the past 15 years, I have watched myself rise above the injury that changed my body in 2007. I have made a book and a short documentary, became an advocate, contributed to a medical journal and helped with medical GP training. And now the triumphs...

My Health Story is Now Live

2022-04-13T21:16:02+10:00April 13, 2022|Blog, Using My Health Story|

Hello from the rebranded PainTrain My Health Summary – now known as, My Health Story (MHS). I couldn't be more thrilled to be writing this post after a very big few months of rebranding and redevelopment. But it's not over yet with the MHS App still a couple of weeks away. Like most magnificent leaps and bounds, the transition from PainTrain My Health Summary (PainTrain MHS) to MHS found the team stumbling on some administrative complexities... and, we do expect a couple more bumps – but we are mostly there! So what do you need to do?

Rebrand Announcement: My Health Story

2022-02-12T20:03:10+11:00February 12, 2022|Blog|

The PainTrain My Health Summary team is thrilled to announce they will be rebranding to My Health Story. Keep reading because there are more announcements about the new website as well as a subscription offer of a lifetime... The consumer survey distributed to PainTrain MHS Advisory members, subscribers, and followers formed a clear decision to rename the health summarising resource to My Health Story. At close second was My Health History. In addition, the survey results indicated the much-needed requirement for an App version of the resource and more functionality for Affiliates and subscribers seeking more straightforward ways to access and include health information from their GPs. The development work has begun behind the scenes, and a new website is forming – we'll keep you up to date! BUT we also need a little support if we're going to make it to the blaring request for a My Health Story App. We've got an offer of a lifetime. Keep reading! (Can't wait to hear our offer of a lifetime? Bursting to support us? Then hit it!)

Reflections About Pain

2022-06-12T10:31:23+10:00January 16, 2022|Blog, Research|

The brain does not have to make a “decision” as to how we should perceive the sound.  But whether we interpret that loud sound as thunder, a car backfiring, a cannon firing, or as a bomb exploding is a matter of perception. We can always check and find out whether our interpretation is correct. Thus, we may be mistaken about the cause of activation of the auditory (“hearing”) apparatus but, to reiterate, we cannot be mistaken about the experience of having heard the sound. This sensation is “given” to us. The same can be said of pain. We are not mistaken when we experience pain. But we may come up with a number of different interpretations of the experience.

Joe Tatta asks Hayley Leake: What do patients value learning about pain?

2022-06-12T10:32:40+10:00January 16, 2022|Blog, Research|

There’s quite detailed information about neurotransmitters like neuroscience. That could be interesting for research, but it might not be that relevant for the patient. That was the impetus for asking this question, “How do we make something more interesting to the person who is receiving it by asking them, ‘What is it that you value?'”
