i understand your frustrations very well. i had to take a pain pill and lie down this morning and while curled in the fetal position, i was trying to come up with something to think about other than the pain........all at once a small idea, for my yard, started growing and i worked it and turned it and polished it and stretched it and when my friend came in from the store, i was bursting to tell him what i had thought about. my pain was still with me, but the joy of the new idea helped diminish it a bit. we talked it over and started the plans. i'm still hurting, hours later, but i managed to get through the worst of it.

i wish i could rid you and everyone else that i know of chronic pain but i can't. but i can send you the best wishes for a less painful time right now. xoxoxo pat
