ML/ pain

August 7, 2007

Since dealing with my own pain, I have also

learned compassion, and I think that is one of the greatest gifts parents can

give their children - the gift of compassion towards others. I have seen the

lack of it in some members of my own family, and remarkably I have seen it in

total strangers!

It is so great you are continuing to feel

better with each passing year – and by tapering slowly you will meet your

goal and eventually you will be pain and medication free.

And it is great the understanding you have

developed towards your own husbands pain. Pancreatic pain is no fun and he

needs your compassion. Pain can be so humbling at times and your faith will see

you through this.

Hi nne:

and I agree with you as well as Lindsey. I

feel so much better than last year and even better than the year before.

However, I know mylimits. And I know to stop and rest. It does FEEL

GREAT to feel good again. I had almost forgotten what that was till just

lately. That is one reason my doctor says take it slow, dont rush getting

off the Lyrica. She was willing to go along with my dropping to

100mg. She was leary of my dropping to 75mg. She cautioned

me. And so I am not going AS FAST as I had intended. That is

okay. Pain of a migraine was the only pain I ever knew besides child

birth and monthly periods. So when my husband talked about his pancreatic

pain and his degenerative spine pain, well, I was not really in tune to that

kind of pain. THEN this came along and humbled me to understand the pain

of others. I consider that a real blessing in the lesson of

compassion! I am not able to have PT under my insurance unless I am

hospitalized. So trusting in God is my strength. love, ML
