I have a problem with some of the posts I've seen lately, including my own. It was my understanding that we were not to give advice of things that a person should do in this setting. Rather we should relate what has worked for us and let others decide if they want to pursue those routes or not. I recently very emphatically told someone they should look into getting a pain pump and what I should have done was said this is the pain pump it works for me and left it at that.

@wsh66 Thank you for your honesty, and policing yourself. Believe me, we are all guilty of doing that sometimes! I have switched the way I write a post here, stopping to take a critical look at it, and how another will view it. My "shoulds" get tempered with "perhaps", or "have you considered". I try to impart my experience and opinion, not belittle anyone their choice, and champion those who find what works for themselves.

@wsh66 , all is forgiven. If you notice my post earlier, I sort of told a certain lady what to do to try to get to feeling better. I try hard not to do that. I do try to say this worked for me, or that worked for my sister. Sometimes I slip up and say things in not exactly the correct way. I meant well. All we can do is try our best. We can acknowledge our slip up and move on, in the grace that has been given me so many, many times. Bless you for your efforts as you travel this road together with us. We are better together.
