[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1532684, member: 412001"] It sounds maybe a bit bonkers, but I sometimes find sensory distraction to be useful, though my theory is that it's about making the rest of me as comfy as possible when specific bits are acting up. Something the smells nice - often the oven with something good roasting inside - comfy, soft clothes (a HUGE jumper I can burrow into), I put something engaging but not demanding on the computer to watch and get cosy on the couch. A newly-washed blanket is the best as, right out of the dryer, it's still warm and smells incredibly reassuring. And then, if I can, I fall asleep. While none of those things have any direct action on my pain, I often find that my other senses being gently soothed will just relax me a little more, and then I've got something to fix my eyes and ears on that doesn't require any concentration (I find reading a real struggle when it's bad). Sometimes I daydream, sometimes I drift off. Sometimes, of course, it doesn't work at all! [/QUOTE]
