Tabby that is wonderful. I remember this dinner last year and how much you enjoyed it. I've noticed that when you are around people you are very happy and have a great time. You should try to get out to more events because you seem to enjoy them so much.

My kids both suffer with anxiety. When they know something is coming up they feel terrible. It creates real pain. But if they push past it they usually feel fine and have a great time.

Try it. It's worked for you and I bet it will work again. You might even find that being with others will stop your pain.

I tell my kids that they will be in pain if they sit home or if they go out..but maybe if they are out they will be distracted and feel better.

Yes I really enjoyed it I just hope that my pain will stay away so UI can enjoy more events like that but I know that my pain free time won't last very long cause every time I eat that's when the pain starts my back is starting to hurt but im trying not to think about it just trying to think about all the fun I had last night
