Hi Klfhl

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I am delighted that your Pain Management Clinic went so well for you. I do not know what you are aware of with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so I have pasted the NHS Choices link 'how CBT works' for you below:

nhs.uk/Conditions/Cognitive...

I can imagine that there is a waiting list, but hopefully it will not be too long. A medicine review may be advantageous as you may get some extra medications? I am sorry to read however that you pain has been so bad at night time for for you, and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hope to start on CBT soon have my induction on Monday and she said I could go straight on one soon after...seem to be very lucky at moment as everything has happened so fast for me...so many options out there but I know we all have different things that will work for one but not another. I look forward to reading link as all info is good info.

Thank you

Hi Klfhl

That is really fantastic news! I hope that you can really benefit from the CBT. If you find that it does not work for you please remember this:

CBT is a middle ground therapy technique. If you are a person who is withdrawn or quiet by nature ask about:

Humanistic Counselling, as this would be preferable for you.

If you are more extrovert and easily aroused to talk and pour out your issues, ask them about:

Integrative Counselling, as this would be preferable for you.

Good luck with your CBT and I really hope that it works for you.
