Debbie - Thanks so much for your reply. Your advice is the first that I have received of that kind, so it's extra special. Part of my grudge against the wheelchair is that with or without it am still relying on someone, and I clearly can't go without. My left arm is also pretty messed up, so I can't even take myself places. It does seem odd that we have pain in many of the same areas, and we both have killer migraines. I actually feel one coming on now...so in about five minutes it will be a dark room with my usual tried and true method of migraine pain relief. I hope that we will have a chance to talk soon.
