Thank you John, I have never been a fan of gabapentin because of the "fog" it caused, and elected to find another method of dealing with pain. Now that I understand the way it works, it concerns me even more.
I know that the brain training works for me in concert with everything else I do.
The hard part is remembering to use it when pain settles in - which often happens when I lie down to go to sleep. Now I close my eyes and use a program of progressive relaxation to send all the pain away, seems to work.
The hardest part is trying to convince others, especially those close to me, to give it a fair trial...
