Thank YOU, Mindy, for letting me know there are others out there in the same or similar situation ... and it means a lot to me for someone to say that they were somehow inspired or helped, by my posting my own "ramblings" here ,,,

I just wonder if the damage is already done and I'm doomed to a life of chronic pain.

I know I'm rambling about things that most of you don't really want to hear about, but it sure feels good to vent!  I just wanted to come out of hiding and say THANK YOU ALL for posting and sharing your stories, advice and options. For the first time in a long time I feel hope and that feels so refreshing. It's great not to feel so alone.

You shouldnt feel alone, and you shouldnt worry about posting or "rambling" ... everybody here I'm sure, has been thru the same or is going thru the same or similar stuff ... including the doubts, confusion and anxiety that we are feeling now. I have had the thought before I knew this was "happening" to me, that people so often feel completely alone in whatever they are going thru, and we jsut cant realize how many other people are going thru the same things, and feeling the same way ... the abilty to connect and share those experiences, and talk instantly to other people almost anywhere in the world, really do make the internet a kind of miraculous thing. I'm glad you decided to talk about what you are going through, and the reactions Ive gotten here are proof I think, that people here are very compassionate, empathetic (for obvious resons), and want to help and support each other as much as they possibly can. We ARE members of the "club" now, so DONT FEEL ALONE!
