Dear Kay

glad you can stay on the Amypra.

good luck with getting all your docs in a row.. it is hard coordinating so many specialists and the PCP.

yes do keep trying with the cigs. if you are mostly able to stay off them, don't get down on yourself about the 'slips'. if you mostly can't stay off them, even just trying to reduce can be helpful.

one of the "tricks" i used to use was to make myself put off having one when i wanted it. sometimes for just five minutes. other times i bargained with myself for an hour. when i was managing better, i bargained for progessively longer quits... a day... 2... then a week.

i hope your pain levels come down. take care.
