krzykris and ozzie I've met so many people with pain issues. It is good to have people know how difficult it is. At least "outsiders" can try to imagine how difficult it is to deal with chronic pain day after day. No one understands the pain of depression unless they've experienced it. And when the depression combines with physical pain, it is unbelievable how much the two "support" each other and play against each other. The pain contributed to the depression, and the depression worsens the pain. What a horrible cycle.

Still getting through the best I can and hoping against hope that I can get through this.

Thank you for your comments.
