TAXIS...Beating the cancer and clearing the mortgage the final hurdle.

Info about Jon Kabat-Zin and his course http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7654964
In the UK there are mindfulness centres in Aberdeen, Bangor and Oxford. Dr Mark Williams and colleagues have written the English version of J K-Z's Full Catastrophe Living and it is called 'The mindful way through chronic unhappiness and depression'.
There are courses across the UK, but I would be sure of qualifications before parting with any cash. There is also a scottish website (I think https://www.livinglifeto the full.com) and it has a self guide CBT course.
Positive vibes for anyone in chronic pain ... NL x0 -
So sorry to hear of so many of you suffering. Bah to Dr's prescribing stuff that doesn't help and just knocks you out too.

Thanks everyone...sorry everyone else has had such a lot of uncontrolled pain...will be making an appointment at DRs.
Haven't done anything again today but plan to start on my list tomorrow.
I'll be taking up some exercise when I get the pain under control...0 -
Hi Taxi
Sorry to hear you're still suffering, but you've had some good advice there. I've only recently heard about Mindfulness but didn't know it started in New England - might be worth investigating while you're waiting for a medicinal combo that works. Hope that is soon.
Take care xx0 -
