Hello again after a long hiatus. I was in a little too much personal turmoil for the last few weeks to think about making a blog entry (I had some very bad reactions to the pain killers I was given after surgery, among other things).

The reason I am writing today is that, because I still lack a solid diagnosis after batteries of labs, and consultations with every imaginable specialist, I am starting to realize that there may be a strong psychological component to my pain. Currently I am looking for a hypnotherapist (or someone of that ilk) who specializes in treating pain (the dream being one who accepts insurance). And I thought I would throw it out to anyone who has had any personal, or even second hand positive experience with a practitioner in case you want to give me some leads.
