What Distracts You From the Pain?

Hi, I am eirrol, joining in, and just want to say that I listen to audio books a lot or look at videos on my iPad to distract me from neuropathy pain, especially at night, so I can get to sleep. I also listen to a yoga cassette developed for post traumatic syndrome to calm my nerves, somewhat . Every little bit helps, I think. I might have posted this before. If so, sorry.

Hi @eirrol. Audio books and videos are a great distraction from pain. Thank you for sharing what helps you.

Pod casts, or even asking "Alexa" to tell you a joke or play specific music can be helpful. I've played memory games with Alexa for distraction, and they can get pretty challenging. Humor is a great distraction - there's nothing like laughter. 🤣 Do you watch funny movies?

I play meditation music for relaxation. Does your yoga cassette for PTS play calming music or does it speak as well?
