It has been replaced with mere discomfort at most for the past two days. It's been wonderful. I think the pain is starting to come back now, but the hiatus was wonderful while it lasted.

Hello Hampstergirl,

I do hope for your pain level to stay down and for it to remain down. I have read many of your posts and know how much pain you have been having for so long.

I know for me, I am afraid when my pain level goes down out of fear that it is too good to be true.

I pray for it to stay down to a tolerable level and will keep you in my thought. I wish for you the best in this. Take Care and Best wishes to you.

Glad to hear that the pain was more tolerable. Do you know what happened so that the pain decreased? I hope the pain will go away soon. (((((((((((((((((((hamy))))))))))))

Theories:

a) I added a bit more air to my cushion.
b) It's -30 outside.
c) Someone upstairs is pleased with the prayers I've been giving them (none for pain relief) and decided to reward me with a little break. Why not with a total cure? Because I've learned that's not the way they work. They have their own reasons for allowing the pain to happen.
Or maybe these same parties realize that my files from the psychiatric institute are coming and that for me to handle both unmanagable physical and psychological pain would be too much for me and would lead to...regrettable results. (My friends upstairs have a lot invested in me.)
And my friends realize that I know that even a two day break is the most loving thing anyone can do for me, more valued than a million bucks at this point, and that I will be talking/thinking about this break for at least a month afterwards and thanking them profusely for it.

I was actually looking for my "boyfriend" (my nickname for the pain), waiting for him to show up.

The pain's back now but it's not as intense and it comes and goes. A fellow church member actually noticed the pain was gone from my face, but didn't know why until she checked her e-mail and found my explanation. Needless to say, she is very happy for me.

Keep adding air to your cushion, and keep praying. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

HAMSTERGIRL: It must have been that parsley you had. Or the fruit you had for lunch. Oh, well. I tend to think that I am what I eat. So it's my fantasy that everyone else is also. So glad you are feeling better!

Once after an auto accident I was trying to continue working with the use of pain meds, which worked erratically if at all. Someone told me about how to put my brain into an alpha rhythm while I was working. I connected to the center of the earth, allowed the current to wash my body and mind clean and then return to the earth. Finally I experienced an odd feeling as if my head were floating upward by itself. The pain then just fell away. All this I was doing while sitting at the computer working. Amazing, both as to the multitasking and the pain removal. Just thought I'd share that with you.
