((((((Sydney)))))),

It's too late for this tonight unless you've got someone to shop for you, but, you might want to pick up some relaxation tapes. They really do work.

The "Rainbow Butterfly" from Dr. Miller is absolutely unbelievable. I went to a chronic pain meeting where they played this tape. Whole roomful of smiling/relaxed people

In the meantime, turn your radio or your TV music to a classical music station. Lay down in a comfortable position in a quiet, darkened room and just listen to and feel the classical music. It's known for releasing the pain and the stress in the body.

Soft, gentle hugs.
