Dear Dawn, please stop beating yourself up. We live with what God gives us. For better or worse. All you can do is your best. I do wish you would see a doctor recommended by Helen Chalmers or someone else on the board. I worry so about you. Pain clinics differ, and you need to get more involved in the people who are trying to help you. If they are not good, then you need to find someone else. I don't mean to lecture at you, I know you are weak and close to being all used up, but please care enough to hold out your hand here on the board for help. We love you, Sally
