Thank you for the info. You reminded me that there is a book I've been wanting to mention to you all called Full Catastrophe Living. It is a book based on a program used at a stress reduction clinic to help those who are in chronic pain.
It is 400 some-odd pages, $16.95, and an absolute gift from heaven. If meditation, breathing and yoga are things you are interested or would be willing to try...you will treasure this book as much as I have. It walks you along, so that you can start practicing well before you finish the book.
Love and hugs to everyone,
