i don't agree with the last comment at all - it will always be impossible to separate pain from emotion but that doesn't mean that the changes in the nervous system are not an integrated part causing in a vicious circle how one feels. different types of pain cause different problems over a long period. i do thin the amount of effort to do things in pain in huge and as if i am having to compensate to go beyond the pain and achieve everyday tasks.

thanks for putting this on - i responded to someone else who also did!
very interesting,
