I have problems coping with my fm , any good advice?
Please- don't give me that "thank the lord for blessing you with the miracle of life" thing. Because at this point I would give it to him back in a sec if I had the guts to do so.

Fun distractions, that's my advice to you. When I have one of those episodes of pain- I use my x-box my very smart husband bought me. I stay home and play with my children and see movies and do warm baths with bath foam that was also a good idea from the man who brought me the x-box ;-)
Try it!
