My husband is a chronic pain patient and - for some reason that no one understands but we are truly thankful for - when his pain gets very intense, he can often 'reset' something by lying down on the couch and sleeping for an hour or two. This is in lieu of taking very heavy-duty painkillers - they always make him very, very nauseous and of course have other bad effects on his body. So he has to do one or other: either take heavy narcotic drugs or lie down and sleep for a while. Usually an hour is enough, sometimes it requires two hours. I wouldn't complain if he were lying on the couch sick with a cold and sore throat if we could swap that for the chronic pain, believe me, not even if I had to wait on him hand-and-foot for a week or a month or a year. Different circumstances, different point of view. Pat -- Pat Meadows Books, books! Low prices.
