Girl, I know exactly how you feel. I feel like my whole life is just passing me by while I lay with the heating on the couch day after day. Although some days are better than others, on the good ones I always make sure to make the most of it. I try to think positive and tell myself that the pain isn't going to stop me from living a fulled life. I pratice yoga on a daily bases and that helps me a lot. The stretching involved really helps to elevate the pain some and it gets my endorphins going which is a natural pain blocker. Everyone has something they do that can boost their spirits, whether it be long walks, meditation, or just talking to someone who cares. Since being diagnosed in Feb. 2002, and now going for my 2 lap, I have relized a lot about life with Endo. You never know how you are going to feel minute by minute, so you really need to make the most of all your good ones. I know things are tough and we are all here for you when you need us, we are a little community of support. Keep your head and spirits high, you WILL get through this, Caryn
