It's really, really, really, really hard, often to communicate the intensity of invisible chronic pain. Some folks out here have some really good support - know that you are blessed, for some of us are treated, even by those who love us the most, like it's all in our heads. I have had amazing experiences with NCR, especially that first one that lifted the burden of so much pain off of me. I was really dissapointed in the level to which no one noticed!!! You'd think it would be obvious, but I've, over the last 20 months, had a lot of emotional and psychological healing to do. Having support for that would have really been great and I think i'd be a lot further on, but instead I get repremanded for even mentioning anytihng about my struggle to endure pain or my struggle to recover. It seems no one around me is willing to do the research to understand, or listen to me without preconceptions... and so I am very alone in this struggle.

Along comes Lou22, across the big pond in England of all places. She, who is really the 1st person here on Daily Strength to believe me and my message enought to act on it. That makes today, Monday 7/21/2008, a very special day to me, for this is the first time I've heard back from someone who did, and she is not afraid to call it a miracle.  I've been trying to get this message out for a year and a half.  I'm exstatic... I also hope it gives me a little more cred. in my postings on DS and in the understanding of my own family. But forget all that, really it's LOU's day and I am so happy for her.

Congratulations Lou, Heal well my friend.
