[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 14653, member: 1233"] I am in the chronic pain clinic. And just got my stomach scoped to see what the deal is there. Treatable issues, no bad biopsies for me!! My pain started at age 14, so it has been 23 years, eeeeeekk! Find little things to take pride in. I even have my kids tell me, hey you made coffee, that is something! Or "You read to me, that counts as an accomplishment!" - this last said in very indignant terms by my thank you when I fussed over not getting anything done around the house. I have to pay close attention to my priorities. Kids and hubby first, house way down the list. If I get into too much of a fuss about the house I land myself in bed and then feel even more depressed. focus on physical solutions to physical problems. If pain keeps you from bending over to get stuff out of the dryer, then get a kiddy rake to help pull the stuff out of the dryer. If you NEED to feel you have cleaned something, find a drawer or what-not you can clean in a few minutes while sitting down. Take it easy on yourself. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
