Thank you, John.

Usually I can read articles by hitting “reader view” on my ipad. This time the page presented in the very middle “sign in or subscribe” and with no option to close it.. and would only show me the photo in reader view. Clicking “sign in” it did give options to sign in with Google or Facebook and something else. I tried Google and it did not sign in. My ipad is a 2016 model, but still updates. Not sure if ipad or connection.

I'll look at the video later.

A few months back I told my pain management doctor… he is local and not part of Mayo Clinic… that I noticed my brain was telling me to take my pain med by the clock and not the pain. I told him I was going to pay attention to the pain and not my brain. I was able to cut back for a few weeks until another pain started screaming. He says he has a plan in the works for me .. we'll see on 03 Dec. Meanwhile I try to take meds for pain when there is pain and not by the clock.

I can usually keep my brain occupied in the day with other things to keep most of my pain out of my brain.. but the night is another thing.

Zee Gee, the ability to "shelve" pain by staying busy just shows how amazing the brain is. The next step is learning how to use your brain to consciously put pain on the shelf. It takes a bit of effort, but I can make it work more times than not.

We adjusted our recent 1600 mile trip to 4 days, to allow more time to stop and move, and to do stretches morning and night. I managed to arrive with only minor aches in crazy places.
Heading for a session of deep relaxation now to chase some persistent pains away.
