Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

@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.

Great suggestion!
Don't know if I can post here----its my first time. I have had pudental neuralga for 8 years now and an always in excruciating burning pain, neuropathy every where. I have been & done eveything and nothing really works or is tolerated. I am pretty much home bound now. The worst is recral & vaginal non-stop burning pain. Use ice pack 24/7--I am ready to give up. I trust in God but ask him daily to take me home! I pray for all of you I have read about.

@sandytoes14 As @parus said, we each experience pain differently, and process it in our minds in various wys. I recall someone telling me "well, it lets you know you are alive". "Yeah, yeah, I know I'm alive, don't need more pain to tell me that" was my response! For me, getting my focus onto something else [visualization, Zentangle, crochet or quilting] helps. CBD oil helps. Will look in to medical marijuana if need be. I am glad you chose to share, and I honor everyone in pain and discomfort.
