Hi Jeff, sorry about all of the pain you & most folks on here are dealing with. Sometimes I find just yelling (at the mirror, my husband etc) helps reduce some pain. Getting stressed really spikes my levels not to mention all of the other weird symptoms I have. Although I am not any kind of doctor or information guide to any of this, I am human and know the feelings of deperation and defeat....having said that....WE must all accept our worst days, let them be, BUT make tomorrow a better day someway somehow. I am ever so grateful for this forum and its members for getting me through some of the hardest times I have experienced in my lifetime, mainly because they know this is real. It may not make sense to a lot of people (and I am glad for that because that means they do not have this monster disease) it makes sense to all of us, so keep fighting, keep venting and keep sharing your experiences with us, it does help!!!
