Brave soul to post that message. In my case the depression (if there is any) is caused by the HA. Don't know if it's depression as much as self pity. I know I sure don't need nor do I want these things. I'll gladly give mine to anyone out there that wants or needs them. Funny, I don't think I'm gonna get any takers. I try to rationalize these things by telling myself the Lord is trying to teach me something by allowing this pain. Make me a stronger person or make me more thankful of the good days He gives me. Whatever. I try not to get depressed or angry, just endure until they end, which, in my case they do. I truely feel for the chronics. Talk about strong people, they are!!! Anyway, the Dr. that wrote this question in his book is welcome to mine!!!
