I would certainly love to have others to talk with regarding the spiritual dealings of chroic pain. I know that for myself, if I didn't have my spiritual life to help me, I wouldn't be dealing with this pain very well at all. When it has not been long enough before I can take another pain pill and my lungs and back are really  hurting, I meditate on the Lord. I pray for Him to wrap me in His robes and give me relief and comfort and He does. I know that to some this may sound completely off the wall but other people with a spiritual life, will understand.
