Thank You for your input, you said it so well. I tried to say

some of the same things to and Dave. I know I have been up at

three thirty in the morning and someone from the group has answered

when I was so depressed.. Jen Zeigler and Jim have always seemed to

say the right thing at the right time for me in the past and ever post

I have read, has helped me.

The moderators are wonderful and do a great job and I hope no one

that come here ever feels left out. I felt that once and I had so many

private e-mails encouraging me through my depression, I was so

greatful.

You said it this is a great group of people.

Losing the ability to live your life the way that you had been used to can

throw you into a state of denial. I know that it did me and I am there again.

5 months ago, my pain level changed again, but my medicines changed, too,

so I have spent the better part of the past 5 months feeling like, if only I

could get back on the pain management schedule that I was on before, then I

can go back to other " normal. "

I am slowly, but surely coming to grips with that this is my " normal " now.

Denial creates stress and stress exacerbates pain, so I am

trying to cut that out. Once you know your limitations and don't

fight them, then it is easier to live with the pain.

Love and gentle hugs,
