Des...thank you for saying this to Sage..She has done phenomenally here with her anxiety attacks and with dealing with chronic pain from tissue damage. There was more give in the bathroom tiles we removed for the bath remodel than in her neck yesterday and you could see her struggling against the pain while trying to deal with the noise and intrusion of the Plumbers at the same time as dealing with a migraine level headache. Venting here helped her a bit but she also feels very guilty when she does. Yesterday was the very first time I have seen her resort to her medications to deal since she has been with us. We have been working on techniques that allow her to ride out or work out the anxiety and panic attacks, but pain like she was going through is something that can't be ridden out for long without it taking a toll on the person you are. It hurt to see her given in to the pain and take medications she has been able to do without, to try and relax her neck enough to move it. Buttah (Sage) is an excellent high tolerance pain slut...always reaching for more, harder, crueler pains, but this laid her low, and nothing was helping. When it gets that bad it is good to know she has someplace like this to vent, without people judging her. poenkitten
