Hi 77grace,

I agree that our attitude while in pain does matter. Sometimes when I'm having one of my worse days, I call my mom who is also suffering and sometimes together we can make each other feel better. It can also go the other way if we're not careful. I think anything that we can do to take our minds off of ourselves has the possibility of making it seem better. There are times though that are so bad, you just have to do what you can to make it through. Hoping your all having a better day!

Don't beat yourself up too bad. It's not easy being in pain all the time. It does help us & the people we're around if we are able to be "positive", but we do the best we can. It's not always possible when you're in pain. I just hope your husband understands that. You know, if other people could just walk in our shoes for 1 day.....
