The part of your last post about "creating new pathways in yoru brain & there being a whole science to it", statement sorta intrigued me & made me remember that my Pain Management doctor wants me to buy & read "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Norman Doidge MD. He feels that I would be an excellent person to read & do as this book suggests. When he first suggested this is when our grandson Ron died in the DUI Hit & Run accident last Oct. I had just looked the book up when that nightmare phone call happened infact. And had decided to buy it after it went out in paperback as it was alot cheaper then. Anyway, you can buy it thru Amazon.com. Maybe that book would be helpful to you in retraining your brain pain pathways. Cause that is what this book does is help us to learn how to do this. I have still to buy the book. We are super super broke it seems, even tho we both quit smoking. All our extra money goes into our damn gas tank...... I can't figure out how we could afford to smoke before........geeze..........

Good Luck Deb,
