I have amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome, so I experience pain throughout the day. Sometimes I experience especially strong flares of pain and they can come unexpectedly. Eve was watching me administer my evening medication when my pain started worsening. She helped me get a chair so I could sit down. My pain soon became much worse and I began crying hysterically. Eve stayed calm, comforted me and handled the situation very well. Even though it was too late in the evening for showers, Eve let me take a shower since hot showers are therapeutic to me. Eve set up a chair in the shower so that I could remain seated. I felt so much better after the shower and I am so thankful that Eve understood my situation and made accommodations to ease my pain. I am grateful for her kindness and compassion.
