Take a tranquiler and watch a funny movie on TV. I do what I have to to take my mind off the pain.

I find the body can handle the pain, it is our minds that are assaulted by it, so I occupy my mind.

My favorite thing is hopping in a hot shower for a while or the tub, and then wrapping up in bed, take the sleeping pill and turn the tv on to distract me....lots of law and order and other shows like that...those things seem to take my mind off it (probably because there are always people pretty bad off on those shows). Also, for me just letting the tears I hold in go for a while is half the stress that is making that pain so much worse.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Hang in there....I have been amazed at what it is possible to get myself through, even though it is easier to think of being done with it sometimes. You have the strength, and you will find it. Peace to you
