gene,
Thank you and God bless you also.
The changes program was about how the brain controls pain and that part was interesting however this is not the be all and end all.
Like I said in another reply, most of the benefit from those types are programs are seen in conditions where there is no mechanical reason for the pain. For example, on going pain after an injury that has healed/fixed. But just meditation, and changing the way your brain sees pain will only help so much when you have actual damaged joints and on going inflammation. For some reason though the pain clinic tend to treat ALL patients the same, that our pain is all in our head but as you know that is not the case with AS. After over 15yrs of being told it is all in your head to finally get a diagnoses and reason for feeling as bad as I do then to go back to being told it is all in my head again. Well yeah that doesn't sit to well with me.
Thank you again All the very best.
