Sure hope that something works really soon on that pain for you Sally.

Chronic pain is such a miserable and tiresome state to live within. Tough as we have all become through the ups and downs of this disease, constant pain can really wear one down.

here's another tip that might help a bit:
I like my house and vehicle quiet, so don't play the radio or CD player much; but when there's a lot of pain, I find that some music, of the sort that I've enjoyed in my past is an uplifting distraction. It seems to turn my mind away from the pain toward better thoughts and better times. It helped to get me through the worst of the TM relapses.
Worth a try if/when you are feeling down.

With love, Erika
