Red,

Sorry about the slow response to a serious question.

I find my setbacks for the most part are quite random and indiscriminate. What hurts one day may not hurt for a week prior of the same activity.

Noise and anxiety are still pretty constant reminders.

If the benefits out way the negatives of an activity I continue such as swimming. There are times it bothers me but by and large I receive good benefits from it so I continue.

As far as anxiety goes I spend a lot of time praying and reading my bible. I find God is a pretty good distraction and I can get my mind in other folks that way. I take breaks when I sense it escalating as well and sit still.

Bud
