Because of course just one of those would not have been enough; I'm also fat, old and lost an eye in an accident as a child, so clearly was an axe-murderer in a previous life.<br /><br />At any rate, I digress (as I usually do when I am talking about myself, lol). I have chronic pain from the first two afflictions and, while I adore narcotics, have found that mediation and guided imagery can help make the pain a little more tolerable.<br /><br />I don't want to minimize your pain, Patty, there is still nothing like medication (have you talked to your doctor about pain management?). But if you are interested, I have found Belleruth Naperstak's CD's helpful, along with mindfulness meditation.<br /><br />I wish you both much luck on this road and Patty, I hope you get some relief from the pain soon.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.com
