But what else would we expect from a superhero?! This is the first time I’ve left a comment on your blog, but I have become a regular reader of your blog. My husband and I love your drawings too. Spot on, my friend. I’ve wanted to thank you for being such an incredible resource for me. I have found comfort and insight in your words and in your guest writers. I’ve recently begun a blog to connect with others and hopefully get some therapy out of putting it all down in writing. This post of yours really tugged at my heart. May you be blessed with strength on many levels. So glad you shared your experience with meditation. I believe it is a powerful resource. I am at http://rheumforgod.wordpress.com/ if you ever want to stop by.

Glad you got through it. I have those days where I am unable to move and the emotions start flowing. You are right that after awhile, we become emotionless. We have to or we won’t survive.

It was a bit scary, but as I lay there I decided if this was what lay before me, and occurred more and more frequently, then I could deal with it. I relaxed “into it” and said many “Jesus Prayers” (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner) (An Eastern Orthodox prayer that helps one achieve a greater closeness with God) and in about 10 minutes I was much calmer, and was able to get up and make coffee. Reading your description and Jezzie’s comment makes it very clear that there are many ways of dealing with immobilizing pain. So I say – “whatever works – go with it!”
