Re: bad day! help?? / Alison

Alison, honey, I am so sorry to hear that you are

hurting so bad. Can you meditate while it's slow at

work? The breathing exercises will help you, too.

How about visualization - trying to imagine a place

where you are safe and warm and free of pain is very

helpful. Or go get a funny book and read it! Try a

Far Side book if nothing else. I'm not kidding;

laughing can really reduce my pain.

Perhaps going of all of your medication at once was

what triggered the pain so bad. Have you talked with

your doctor about a tapering-off technique you might

use, in order to wean yourself off the meds?

When you get home tonight, light a candle and sit and

watch it burn. It will help clear your mind and slow

your breathing down. Remind yourself of all the

positive steps you have taken to get well, and try to

have faith that you will get well, and you will get

pregnant!

If nothing else helps, ye olde ice packs on the crotch

may give you a measure of relief.

Please let us know how you are doing. We're all here

to help and listen.

Love,

Suzy
