In subsequent parts of the book (many of which I'll excerpt here), I write about how being pregnant simultaneously made the pain easier to bear, and impossible to diagnose (and therefore understand) -- and you're right, it's that "not knowing" part that plays havoc with our mental abilities to cope! For everyone else, if you haven't looked at Jeanne's blog, <a href="http://chronichealing.com" rel="nofollow">Chronic Healing</a>, I encourage you to do so.

It must have been scary to have the pain come on so suddenly like that. It's difficult when pain is of the nature that it becomes noticeable to others and then the patient winds up in a position (which can be uncomfortable) of explaining himself or herself... when he or she might not even <i>know</i> what's going on (have a proper diagnosis)! I'm sorry you had to go through that. Jeanne Sherrie,
