    Thank you for a really interesting article. Seems to me I eat all the wrong stuff and have all the bad habits! To change all that will take considerable self discipline. Changing diet and bad habits like smoking (yes, I know it's wrong!) is hard because I find these things a 'comfort.' I have had advice from a physio about an exersise regime to help the nerve pain in my damaged leg but I found it impossible to do. To be honest, I can't even look at the thing never mind exercise it. But I know what you say makes good sense so I'll keep trying!

    Good health does make good sense. And pain can be your motive and doorway to transforming into a healthier, happier you.

    Thanks for these reminders. I've been really stuck. I am a push through, go fast and then I crash. I've got to learn to be content with where I am and take baby steps. It's often hard to find balance. I just feel sometimes so out of control.  But what you say is so true and reasonable and good for those of us struggling to live through each day and find some meaning. I want to be back in a place where I can give to others instead of feeling so needy myself!

    We all have needs that should be satisfied. The key to a balanced life is to fulfill your needs with appropriate, healthy habits. Once your life is balanced, you will find yourself in a position to give back.

    Thanks for mentioning attitude as a factor in relieving pain!  I find it to be true and have tried to tell other fellow sufferers in pain the same thing!

    I am grateful for your comments. One of my patients told me that she practices the "attitude of gratitude". If she is grateful for what she has and what she can do, then the pain and disability are not so bad. Wise words indeed.
