Hi G

I have previously come across Mosely's lectures on Youtube. It's really interesting and thought provoking. With my own postings, its a process of discovery almost, where I am analysing as I experience, and getting familiar with how I express it, even trying to create or explore new understandings as I go along. Mistakes will be made, but I never take my eye of what I see as the required goal...i.e learning to understand and thus manage pain better. I take no offence at a bit of learned advise, the purpose of my efforts are all inclusive. However, I seem to resist polluting my intuitive approach with already established ideas which I might or might not agree with. I don't want to get lost in technicalities. It seems to me to be more productive to just stay focused on my particular condition C/S and thus make better headway towards resolutions. When the arguments start to spread out into unfamiliar territory I worry that I'll lose that focus.

Here's a peculiarity...I only do my deliberations early in the morning, 7am to 9am. After that the determination dissipates, I lose focus, and I just get on with normal daily stuff. So even though my posts are fairly condensed here, I really don't put a lot of background study into it. I know it may sound like 'hokum' but as I see it, I allow my condition a licence to inform me as I go along, and this is the regime it has imposed on me. I'm more than a willing participant, in fact I love every convoluted minute of it. And there is a good sense that I'm headed in the right direction. As you probably well know, accepted attitudes towards behavioural responses to nerve problems need better understanding of the real processes involved before there is any improvement in treatments, and that's what drives me.

In the meantime, I already had a post prepared before I read your comments, so I'm going to stick that up anyway. Its not connected.
