Linmarie thanks for the book information.. I have fibro as well as RSD too and know what you mean about beginnings and ending pain.. I also have generalized spread and organ involvement so it gets complicated trying to explain the diffrent pains.

LostMary, I know what you mean I realy related to all of it. and Joan there are many ways to griev, that is what we are doing we are grieving for what we have lost, anger, sadness, frustration, or just that awfull numness.. we all deal with our situations diffrently and it always shocks me when someone tells me how I am suposto feel, shrink or not.. hugs hon
