Yes that is how they diagnosed me after ruling out a heart attack, diverticulitis, kidney stones, etc.etc.etc.  Why is it everytime you tell a doctor you have a pain somewhere the first thing they do is poke their finger in the area! "Does this hurt?" ...."oh no....it feels really great....could you keep poking your finger in it so I can either cry or vomit?" LOL.   Yes my pain is in the very tip of my bottom left rib...and it does radiate to the back.  It is killer to turn at the waist or bend down to pick something up.  The shot helped a bit...it's not sharp pain...now it is a dull aching.  I love my body, I love my body, I love my body....(it's not working Joe...; )

Haha! I know, it doesn't work very well for me either. In fact, tonight it's blessing me with mystery skin rashes and chest pain right in the sternum. Maybe I need to hug harder??

I have to agree with Joe --- you may want to jump over Toni Bernhard's website and spend some time reading her blog. http://www.howtobesick.com/index.html

She's very inspiring, and one of the suggestions she makes is to put your arms around yourself and give yourself a hug, and forgive your body for betraying you --- it's only doing what it was designed to do, and it's doing the best it knows how.

The first time I did this, I actually started crying. It was very healing.

(But you guys know what a big crybaby I am anyhow...)

I will have to try the hugs and love for my body too I guess, because right now I feel like everyone else - angry that my immune system is so stupid and can't just work the way it's supposed to. :( I'm tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop and something else to go wrong - as it always inevitably does.

It's frustrating, especially when I think a lot of us have taken good care of ourselves all our lives. 

But, I also have read a lot about the importance of mind-body connection, so...I'm willing to try anything once!
