I do know that certain things seem to trigger negative reactions such as thinking about going outside, my stomache normally gets torn up. I know that the brain and pain work hand in hand and would like to know if pain is real or only an impression given off by the brain. The longer I'm in pain, the more irrational I get. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!374!7!Ron.Shaw Internet: Ron.Shaw@f7.n374.z1.fidonet.org
