I have no doubt that positive thinking can help ones view on life. However, I would like to see the authors of these types of programs suffer debilitating pain for prolongs periods of time and see what sort of outlook they have!  No, I am not wishing pain on anyone and as I said, thinking positive does help, but only to a point. You can not think yourself well from a physical disease and being in such severe pain for so long tends to make positive thoughts a tad bit harder to muster up! 
I will still checkout the book. As soon as I am up to it, I want to make a t5rip to the bookstore anyways. I do have several self help sort of cds I listen to.
I appreciate the suggestion and mean no offense. I know its not the same but it gets frustrating after a while when people keep saying, oh, you just need to eat mud for a week, or exercise and lose weight or rub this miracle ointment all over yourself or stand on your head and drink water. All fine and dandy but at the end of the day, my immune system is still rotting my body from the inside out.
Sorry, I guess this is very negative but I went down another .5mg on the prednisone and really just wish someone would shot me and get it over with. The physical therapy for the muscle con strictures I am going through is extremely painful, I actually hyperventilated and passed out from the pain Wednesday afternoon, my hips are so swollen from it, my fat pants are even tight. I had to sleep in the recliner because I can't even lay day.
They have started me on Oxycontin slow release and an immediate release pill for the pain. I got another toradol shot yesterday and I am covered in lidoderm pain patches. And, I still hurt.
I am tempted to just stop the prednisone cold turkey if each time I drop its going to be like this. I know that would probably shut down my kidneys and put me in the hospital but man, just not sure how much more of this I can endure. I dropped just half a milligram this time instead of a full milligram thinking it might be easier but, I was wrong. I am so out of spoons.
Hmm, guess I got a bit off topic there. Sorry. Been a really rough week. Will and I are still having issues, money is really tight, I hurt. There is so much I want to do, like clean my house and weed the garden but I doubt I will even get out of bed this weekend. Argh!
Phew, that feels a bit better to at least get all that negativity out! I have not said one word about my health to Will this week and its really hard to deal with this by myself.
