Hi Mike and Breezy --

I've been with a Pain Mgmt Clinic in Boston for a year with a practictioner that I was under the impression was an excellent pain management doc. I have placed a lot of faith in him and trusted him, I thought he was good. So I have to admit that I am profoundly disappointed to just find out now about the Methadone not going with the opiates and morphine that I have been prescribed. How could it be that this is just now being disclosed to me? Plus, my head hurts much, much worse the last few days. I'm more than a little bit of a mess at the moment. In short - I am so confused. In desperation I might take some Methadone in a little while just to see if it will help me.

I like Kim' suggestion of the breathing a lot. Thanks Kim. I also like the meditation tapes that are available at the UCLA and UMASS websites:
