I wanted to report back on my health during and after my trip. Very definitely, relaxing and just enjoying the trip with my camera poised for every photo op made me completely pain-free. I took long walks with my DH in the complex, around the places we visited and in shopping malls, without the usual pain. As soon as I returned home to the work and the stress of showing the house to people who were looking but not buying, all the symptoms have returned again. I'm not saying that I could stop my medication if I didn't have stress and responsibility in my life, that would be tantamount to agreeing that it's "all in my head." I can say that taking my medication and living in a more moderate climate, and being stress-free would probably reduce my symptoms and make me healthier.
