International Pain Foundation

I am thrilled and honored to have taken on the incredible responsibility of coordinating and overseeing the 2026 Comic Pain Relief event arrangements in collaboration with the esteemed International Pain Foundation. This opportunity is significant for me, and I am incredibly excited to participate in this beautiful initiative. If you are interested in volunteering, contact info@internationalpain.org! We'd love to have your assistance. This is such a creative fundraiser for iPain!

I still love getting the digital iPain Living Magazine. I was happy to see the new programs iPain is offering such as CPR, AED, First Aid and Whole Genome Sequencing. These are great programs that line up well with an organization like iPain. These will teach patients to become their own best advocates. I plan on taking results to my Dr to help him understand my situation better. I hope he will grasp it and refer people to you for the same thing. Home Run iPain

I can't wait to get my whole genome sequencing. This will answer so many questions about my healthcare. I can remember when this test was 100K. Now with iPain partnering with a US Lab i can get it for less than $400 bucks. I cant wait to get my results and share with my provider. Keep doing the great work you do Team iPain. I am a fan.

I just finished another fantastic iPain NERVEmber project meeting, where I helped a patient schedule a provider appointment. Now, I'm getting ready to work on the iPain Summit with Barby! The gratitude from the people receiving these resources was priceless. It feels amazing to help people directly like this. I can't wait to see what's next with iPain!

I found the coverage of dementia in the International Pain Foundation's iPain Living Magazine to be truly eye-opening. The magazine provided a good overview of the impact of dementia on individuals living with chronic pain. The articles were well-researched and thought-provoking, offering a deep understanding of the intersection between pain management and dementia from the caregiver perspective. The personal stories shared in the magazine were particularly touching, shedding light on the daily challenges faced by those affected by these conditions. Overall, iPain Living Magazine's coverage of dementia is a valuable resource for individuals, caregivers, and healthcare professionals looking to enhance their understanding of this complex issue. I have now subscribed to make sure not to miss future issues.

I recently attended the safety training provided by International Pain Foundation in Apache Junction, AZ, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. The CPR, first aid, and Narcan training were comprehensive and well-structured, and the instructors were knowledgeable and approachable. The hands-on practice and interactive learning made the training engaging and effective. I highly recommend International Pain Foundations for anyone looking to receive top-quality safety training.

I really appreciate the International Pain Foundation's focus on providing inclusive and empowering social events for people with rare and chronic diseases. I thoroughly enjoy meeting others who have the same condition as me - facet arthritis. What's more, I've discovered a significant overlap with conditions I wasn't aware of before becoming involved. The chance to connect with others who are dealing with similar challenges has been incredibly valuable in fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and understanding. The foundation's events have created a supportive atmosphere for individuals to share their experiences and learn from one another.

The International Pain Foundation's dedication to providing educational resources for patients and caregivers is commendable. Their informative materials have been instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of chronic pain and develop a comprehensive approach to self-care.

I appreciate all the time and help on the phone and computer I get from the staff at the International Pain Foundation. Over the years I have dropped in and out of different projects they host, but when I needed assistance, I got the most out of their programs and service of the mentor program they ran for several years. They have great resources on their website that I have used as well, like the Find a Provider app. I know they are doing more research projects now, and I hope they succeed in these new projects.

I have been with iPain for a while now and I am so grateful for iPain. They get when I need to take breaks or participate less, but are always here with open arms when I am able to volunteer and help on projects. I enjoyed the iPain Summit last year and the train depot event for rare and chronic pain patients in April, and was sad to miss Comic Pain Relief 22, but so happy that they are doing in-person events again. I love giving back to the pain community. I still subscribe to the digital version of iPain Living Magazine which always impresses me. I am glad to be a part of team iPain and look forward to the iPain community activities.

It was really nice to hear about some new projects iPain is starting. A research project on a rare disease and first aid training. I cant wait to get involved and be a part of the rare disease project and hope it is a focus on RSD/CRPS that i suffer with. I believe the iPain Foundation has the right stuff to make something good happen for the pain community.

With new changes this year we are excited to work on new projects to help the communities around us. We hope to bring light to a chronic pain disease that will help those affected from it. Also, we will be making strides with CPR and first aid for the public. Thanks for all your support, we could not do it without all of you.

Over the years i have enjoyed volunteering for iPain Foundation. This year the foundation partnered with Salonpas and has arthritis pain relieving gel for outreach programs. I think it shows good leadership to partner with those that can help the pain community. I found that iPain is reputable and great for me to volunteer with. I have helped many people with this outreach program and has made awareness fun again.

I suffer with arthritis and was made aware of the International Pain Foundation. I contacted Barby at the foundation and she taught me so much about arthritis i never knew. I really was greatfull for her time and education but then the foundation sent me 2 tubes of Salonpas arthritis gel worth more than $40. I was a bit taken back as i didnt expect anything more than just information. The gel works great and was able to give 1 to my mother who has arthritis as well. Barby and the iPain foundation seem to care about me and my wellbeing without a money donation. I have referred many people to the foundation for information and will continue to do so. I think they do great work.

I am grateful that I connected International Pain Foundation a few years ago. I have received a lot of help with infusions and a donation of in-kind items to help my daily living. Thank you to the board of directors and volunteers who help make patients like me feel included.

iPain continues bringing awareness and education to the public. From easy reading to personal interaction with great understanding of what the pain community is going through. I use iPain as a personal resource when situations come up. I have referred many people to follow iPain on social media and the website for great information. Check out iPain and see all the info at www.internationalpain.org

I was excited for Comic Pain Relief 2020 after a great 2019 event with Daniel and I am so excited to see iPain bring back Comic Pain Relief. I did take some time off during the pandemic lockdowns, but It was great to met the iPain team in person just before and to watch all the different ways iPain promotes awareness and recognizes great advocates even during this hard time. I am a subscriber to iPain Living digital magazine and how it links to so many people. It also plays videos right in the pages, how convenient. I share it with as many people as I can. Keep up the great work iPain. Thank you for making a great place for us all.

Hello again, Just wanted to share another story about the iPain Foundation. Earlier this year I was able to receive a donation of Aspercreme Lidocaine patches for my lower back pain. Once I explained to Ken at the iPain Foundation my situation and how much they helped me and others i gave them to in my retirement community, he offered to me as many as i wanted not only for me but my retirement community. Over the period of a couple of months i was able to give 1000s of patches to people living in my community. It felt so good to help so many people i live around. It has also helped me gain friends and popularity inside my own community. I still have to this day, people telling me how much the patches have helped in their daily life. It was a blessing and exactly what people hope for with a charity helping without trying to make money off a valued product. I tell everybody about the iPain Foundation and how much they have helped me.

I love bringing awareness to rare conditions. Thats how i came a cross the iPain Foundation. They have an awareness project called NERVEmber and they bring awareness to 60 different conditions in the month of November. Many of them are rare conditions that people havent heard of before. I hope they keep up the great work and the great project NERVEmber.

International Pain Foundation is 1 in a handful of web sites that transpire to make a difference from beneath. My point of view iPain is undoubtedly nicely worth checking out.

iPain Foundation has helped me realize i'm not alone. I visit the website and follow there social media as a way to feel like a part of an organization that really cares. I am encouraged to see the Hero of Hope awards for patients like me and love how iPain empowers me to be part of something i can participate with, even in my condition. I also follow iPain because I feel like they are always actively spotlighting the patient.

Such an awesome charity. I love participating in their educational webinars, reading iPain Living Magazine, and interacting in their new Patient Partner Programs. I am so glad I found them and love everything they are doing!

I became aware of iPain Foundation through watching videos on YouTube. I have found their videos very helpful to my life. Their webinar series has helped me and my family through difficult times. I suggest many of their videos to my friends as well. I live with constant burning pain and its nice to hear from others who understand and provide me with so many options.

The International Pain Foundation (iPain) is changing lives and giving hope to chronic pain patients worldwide. They provide hope, educational resources, support, mentoring and so much more. I have enjoyed being an iPain delegate and volunteer. I love the educational webinars they offer each month to help educate us about different chronic pain conditions. They also created a wonderful musical video called "Hope Is True". This song and video inspire and fill us with hope! I would like to thank iPain for offering us a way to help others and pay it forward.

I have followed their website and work and donated to International Pain Foundation for many years now. I love their projects and their personal assistance that they have given me and others I know in chronic pain. I will continue to support them and look forward to seeing whats next.

I have been involved with the International Pain Foundation since its inception back in 2006 (originally Power of Pain). I know that I have a team of people who are willing and able to assist me when I reach out to find resources for a pain patient in need. It has been my pleasure to be involved in so much of the goal setting and mission accomplishments of the foundation.

I have a relative with RSD and wanted to help, so I donated to iPain, but in hindsight, I wish I could take back my funds. Those in charge seem more interested in their reality tv careers and fame than a cure. They also have a bizarre music video which really does nothing at all to advance the cause. I just would hate to think a single penny is being wasted when kids deserve a cure.

Barby Ingle, the founder of the International Pain Foundation, is an incredible inspiration for others who live with chronic pain, neuropathy, RSD, and other conditions. The internationalpainfoundation.org website has a wealth of information for patients, caregivers, friends, family or anyone touched by chronic pain. Barby, and other Foundation supporters are unique with a small-group atmosphere and a focus on individuals, yet they help people the world-over who are dealing with pain. Delegates are all friendly, positive, and encouraging. Though pain patients are often isolated and have difficulties volunteering their time and energy, this is a great place to be involved without pressure. I'm very thankful for this foundation.

I am a Ipain delegate from Ky. Ipain is such a wonderful organization we help people through education, resources, and advocacy to have a voice they often feel they have none!
I volunteer for ipain to help those in pain and maybe need just someone who understands, help parents with schools that often feel thier children are being in trouble for not being able to get out of bed because of the pains so bad the can't have clothes touching their skin, I also volunteer for me as a Pain PT with RSD that I hope that my work as a volunteer may save someone for years to come.
Ipain is a wonderful organization I have been very blessed to work with because this is a wonderful true organization whose President helps us and gives her all while she too has to deal with her pain. Barby is a visionary and can't wait to see what the future holds for us all.

I am a chronic Pain Patient that has suffered for many years due to Migraines, several Autoimmune illnesses, spinal issues, multiple joint surgery/replacements, & the gamut of medical issues goes on. Like so many, I had no "real" person or place in my local community to turn to. I "met" Barby online through Facebook,Twitter, & then discovered the IPF. I feel as if I have "support" mentally, physically & emotionally through the Foundation. I find a great deal of information here, & know that ALL of us are not only members, but patients also. Having a Chronic Pain issue & trying to "get through" to someone who does not have it, is almost impossible. That is why through the Foundation having all "patients", as well as Foundation members & advocates helps to give us a "louder" voice to physicians,the medical field, to the governmental bodies & helps to provide information to family members, friends & those who don't understand the horrible aspects of living in chronic daily pain, yet trying to have some kind of "normal life" as well. I am proud to be a part of the International Pain Foundation & admire each and every one of the members, the advocates, & the outstanding work they do to help ALL of us.

I am a chronic pain patient and I am a delegate in this fundation that helps people in pain like me. With this foundation I noticed that I am not the worse and I am not alone and its even better when we get to feel veterr because we were helped emotionaly bu other patients and we do great things for everyone

I am a volunteer and a pain patient. I volunteer because I want others to know we can live with and take control of our pain. I want others to know there is help and relief. I have been involved since 2013 and have learned so much about myself and chronic pain and what to give back to others what I did not have when things started in 2009 and the Foundation gives me that chance.

I have limited medical resources for RSD/CRPS in my state. International Pain Foundation has numerous resources for pain patients. It is a positive, caring organization. I have accessed many of their resources and referred people to the website for help. Barby and Ken have promptly responded to my questions and inquiries. I have never met them but I feel as though they are friends helping friends. Their hard work is state of the art and very much appreciated.

IPain is a great Foundation. It's ran by a lot of amazing people and I love being a part of it! Being able to advocate for people dealing with pain is what makes it amazing to me.
