@rwinney @tara333 Ladies, Do not ever let doctors tell you that your pain is all in your head; that it is a psychological problem. Of course, intense pain leads to anxiety and depression, but the pain is real. The whole idea of central sensitization is that the brain is amped way too high, and gives you pain way beyond the initial injury, diagnosis. It is a problem of brain malfunction. Most people with Central Sensitization do have a pain history. Perhaps they have had fibromyalgia, achey joints, muscles; but the brain signals up the pain, way too much. However, you do have something wrong with your body. You are not just a psych patient. There is nothing wrong, too, about getting emotional support from being in pain. One of the things I love to do is listen to a cellist named Hauser. His music is stunning, and so is he. Oh my goodness, the man is way gorgeous. I just get taken in by him, and time goes by, and I notice that my pain is not bothering me. I have always liked men, so I can get easily distracted by a gorgeous face. Am I bad, or what? Whatever works! Go check out Hauser. I want to marry him. Don't tell my husband. Lori
