Index Number: 13776 [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet] Anyone out there with pain so severe that sometimes you just wish you could die to end the suffering? I go through that on a consistent basis - I am not suicidal, I am too afraid of botching the job & ending up a comatose vegetable: a crueler fate than constant, screaming pain. Anyone have any success with any of those Pain Management programs? bat Zion -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!103!102!Bat.Zion Internet: Bat.Zion@f102.n103.z1.fidonet.org

Besides, I understand baseball games are hard to watch after you're deceased. So, I stay around, and complain. Keeps the ulcers away. *adh* -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!261!1000!Alan.Hess Internet: Alan.Hess@f1000.n261.z1.fidonet.org

It worked to help me get to sleep and if I could at work, it might help. Mine was a psychologist that did it. If you want any info about it let me know and I'll ask mine if he knows about any where you live. I'm in New Jersey.

Index Number: 13993 [This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet] Yes, I know exactly how you feel. My leg has reached the point to where I think a knife would indeed solve all the problems. There is nothing I can do, no drug I can take, or anything else from A-Z. I have reached that point. It is a choice between that or the old head in the oven routine. My luck the untimely explosion would leave both arms paralyzed and the body burned to such a crisp that a botched knife job would be impossible... -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!387!905!Tom Internet: Tom@f905.n387.z1.fidonet.org
