Chris--Have you tried the antidepressants for the pain? It's a tough thing to take something called "anti-depressants" when you *know* that if you didn't hurt, you'd be exhibiting that normal happy self that lurks in all of us. I kept telling people "I am stressed because I hurt and not vice versa!" I hate taking meds but I have really been helped by taking Elavil. Since I have been on it, I can sleep...even soundly enough to dream...something that I had not done for years. And I don't hurt as much. The first doc that put me on it only gave me 25 mg a day...that was not enough. For me, it takes 50-75 mg a day to make me fairly functional.

A footnote re: constipation...try flax seed from the health food store. I even like how it tastes. Good to see the board up and running again.
