Thanks Cort.
I have pretty much given up on finding medical help that will work and don't have the money for it anyway. My naturopath is a continued help for me mostly with acupuncture and an hour of conversation once a month. And of course I will take free Reiki as often as Martha wants to give it.
But I have come to believe at present that my best tool is between my ears.
It is really the only one I have, and fortunately from what I've read and from what I have experienced to a degree, it is a good one, one that can make a difference.
For many chronics with no medical recourse and no money, this is a tool they don't have to depend on anyone else for. Maybe one of the few things in some lives that they don't need someone else for.
Makes it more valuable than gold, to my mind.
