I'll throw my two cents in...if I can dig them out of the sofa...

But seriously, a pain psychologist is awesome--the one they had me see turned out to be the best advocate I have in that he** hole of a clinic. And he's going to "have another conversation" with my pain doc...We'll see. They may fire him when they find out he's a decent guy...LOL-JK!

Don't be afraid of it--these guys are all totally right on. CP has a lo of ups and downs, and that's kind of part of the territory. I've been on a streak of feeling down, but am trying to remember today is a new day, and to put one foot in front of the other, even though that's hard sometimes, since they hurt so dang bad... GOL (Groan Out Loud)...

But just go with it, be 100% honest. And I'd keep a journal, but less on your pain level, but how it's causing you to feel, and what's going through your head as a result of your pain. But keep the entries short and to the point--don't let them think your pain is your sole focus in life. Then you'd be SOL.

But good luck-I hope it goes well!
