I think of it as giving pain its on little place instead of trying to evict it. that has helped me be able to have a certain amount of pain exist as " static. Tami, I really like your reply to , and , I hope that you take it to heart. Tami, It sounds like you've been through the nightmare and have come to accept the truth that is chronic pain. Like you have, I have discovered the real benefits of relaxation, exercise, yoga and stretching and probably most important...acceptance. I experienced a fantastic drop in anxiety, depression, desperation, pain, and a definite upswing in my mood after coming to the realization that pain was just gonna be a " hard fact " in my life. It is what it is, Yes? It has been 1 month short of 11 years since it all began for me and boy " Did I fight it!! " Sometimes that fight is appropriate. But for some of us, like you and me, to finally accept our pain, well, it allows us to finally " Let go. " To let go of all the angst that comes with a chronic condition. And by God, it could be worse!! I actually consider myself somewhat lucky that it is not, ya know? I hope I am making sense here.
