K, I finally had the chance to read through your past few threads (couldn't go back to the beginning, just to many:-) and see hat we have a lot of the same issues going on. I don't have any advice, but I do have a whole lot of respect for you and what you've been through, and your ability to persevere.
I hope things improve for you, and actually I do have one small piece of advice. Acupuncture can be great for lower back pain, but my acupuncturist actually introduced me to a self treatment method that is helpful for not only back pain, but many other physical and emotional pains. I'm not sure if you are familiar with EFT, but it has done wonders for me. It's easy, free, self administered, and there is a great ebook to learn about it at emofree.com , also free.
