My neuropathic pain came back last night. I'm trying to ignore it, but cannot. I'm afraid I'll digress into a bleak, dark state. I'll apologize now for whatever I may say during this "outbreak." It's come back a few times for a short duration, and gone again. I hope it will subside later today. If not, I may become a ghost for a while.
I know this pain well; it is a respected enemy. No drugs help, I've seen six pain specialists. I will meditate and self-hypnotize, if possible. I will live in the moment and be content. Don't worry, it may beat me up, but it will not beat me.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I would try lying flat on your back with your legs elevated, several times a day. You might even try heat on your lower spine. Don’t worry if you must do a lot less on these days, it can’t be helped. My best!

Sorry to hear it. A friend on another atheism forum suffers constantly from this, and although in her case pain meds somewhat help, she's too poor to get proper treatment and often goes without. She's just a youngster cut down in her late 20s by some random illness. I relate to that because it was essentially my 2nd wife's life story too.
It's hard to bear witness to because she's a trained historian with terrific thoughts to share and can't stand the pain of typing half the time. The Internet at least provides an outlet to contribute and participate and then your fingertips won't let you. And yes I've suggested voice dictation but she lives with a senile grandmother in the next room who keeps wondering who she's talking to and gets all agitated about it.
Anyway ... hang in there and feel better sooner rather than later. And let us know if there's anything we can do to encourage you, Ed.

Bravo for your inner strength and optimism! Hang in there. I love your conclusion:

TY, but it seems the only possible thing to do. It's all in my mind. I can beat it.
@EdEarl it is a brain function remember?
