And sometimes you hafta go beyond the 'take-a-day-at-a-time'......literally.,
Take an HOUR at a time....or a MINUTE at a time.....
Like i was sharing w/a friend in a private message, it really helps keep the depression at bay to do simple 'silly' things.....look on uTube at "laughing babies" or "funny puppies"..... it's hard NOT to laugh. And it does help the time go by.
Not taking your pain 'lightly'. BELIEVE me. I DO know pain.....besides all the meds, it IS a constant battle for sanity......always rubbing on topical crap.....
massaging.....hot baths......curling up in a ball and cry.....it SUCKS.

Saw your thread and my heart went out to you so thought i'd drop this note....
and YES ----> prayer DOES help..... It sure don't hurt anyway.

Keep hangin on......more options will eventually present themselves.
