Thanks, Lil--that's it. When I was telling the pain people my story, and how long this has been going on, they could barely believe it. But when you're in the middle of it, you think that eventually you're going to turn the corner, so you keep at it, and suddenly, years have passed. You don't realize it until you tell someone else that it's been so insanely long. But having just a few days of some relief has brought me back to myself. I realized, "Hey! I AM fun, relaxed, and positive...I remember now." I thought that had been lost forever; it was just buried under pain, exhaustion, and the depression brought on by both.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, too! Wow! 15 years is way too long.
