Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

@sandytoes14 Have you tried visualization, or meditation, or acupuncture? What are you able to do that moves your focus away from the acknowledgement of pain? My heart goes out to you.

@gingerw Hi Ginger, I'm not sure its visualization but when the pain is a 10 (and I'm too stubborn to go to the hospital, partly in fear of being labled) I can look at a picture of the ocean and imagine I'm sitting there. I try to feel the sun and hear the ocean. There is an app on my phone CALM and I play the ocean sound. That helps bring the pain down a point or two.At least its not stabbing me anymore. I had acupuncture and it helped some. Maybe I'll look into that in my area. Thank you.
