Hi Velkyn,
You certainly have all the physical and mental symptoms a sufferer of Chronic Pain can find themselves beset with.

Yet you are still strong enough to work with your Dr to make changes. You are now doing a lot of the things you need to do to set your life on a new, even keel. Depression is a severe problem with a lot of us here so I am pleased you are moving forward to see a Therapist. Of course, there are plenty of places around the Forums as well, where you can vent or go for support of all kinds. We are not Therapists, we are your peers. Who better to understand?

Your Dr did a good thing by pointing you in this direction. In a few short months this Forum and it's members has changed my life immeasurably for the better. Take Littlepaw's advice and make yourself at home.

Dave.
