"Hallie,
I completely understand where you are coming from and why you would feel the way you do. I do not consider myself religious, but I am spiritual. I really found comfort in looking outside the box...looking at energy (or chi) and how it…"

Hallie Winchell posted a blog postPill bottles as flower "vase"
I thought you might find this image particularly interesting. I managed to find a way to recycle & re-use my old ugly pill bottles, this is a lot more cheerful & the warning labels even serve as some decorative contrast for my pretty bluebells from the front yard! Hope this gives you a good laugh!See More

I can certainly understand your feelings about religion, as you have suffered so much for so long. Have you ever tried meditation? A couple of months ago I did some research and actually tried this practice. Of course, I was somewhat…"

I have to tell you that I am exhausted just reading all that is on your plate! LOL! Between school, traveling to your doctor, etc ..... it is no wonder you are suffering so much. The weather here in Connecticut has been terrible ... heavy…"

I was wondering how you are since I hadn't seen my blog post approved until this afternoon. I was worried you had been struggling a bit, and I am glad to see you back online again.
I am not doing well today. Its the 4th…"

How is today for you? I know my body has been acting out of sorts lately, and I feel it is due to the weather. Do you think this could be partly to blame for your increased pain as well?
I love how Catherine recognized and validated…"

Hi friends & Nicole! Here is a little update on me. I saw a new doctor, or at least his PA, on Thursday, visited with some family nearby, and went back home with my significant other. I also completed all of my school work for the MBA program on time & was able to stay on top of the content this week, as the load lightened when I found some supportive online resources and we switched directions in Economics to a variety of topics I already studied in the previous term. Even though…See More

First of all, know we are here and you are not alone. Reading your message took me back to those times and feelings. I used to scream and throw pity parties too; in fact, I think it is healing. We need to be able to let go of the repressed…"

Frustration has become my entire life =(
I am in the 4th week of a month that included 3 to 4 bad days every week for my chronic neuropathic pain (this pain is very similar to CRPS). So its been 4 weeks of up to 4 bad days each week, when I am more used to an average pain day of 4 or 5, with around 1 or 2 really bad days. This is driving me crazy as I can't concentrate & I feel like my life has completely stalled.
I am terrified of feeling like I have lost control to the point that I can do nothing to help…

Hi Hallie!
Welcome to Heroes of Healing! I think you will find this to be a wonderful site. Everyone is very caring and compassionate, and I think you will find Nicole's messages, as well as the various conversations to be very thought-provoking. We all need to lean on each other as dealing with our pain can be very difficult and isolating. Just know that you are never alone!
Have a comfortable evening!
Stacie
