I wonder how people deal with their pain? I have tried to make pain my companion, a friend, an external entity that is with me all the time rather than me experiencing it. More like an irritating puppy that follows me all the time. (anything that helps). Does anybody else have any tricks?

@slover-william For those that can’t sleep because of pain, what would be good recommendations? I find that sometimes when I have too much pain, instead of trying to sleep, I go for a walk, or read a book, or do gentle yoga… anything to take my mind off the pain I am feeling. Sleep can be hard if you are in pain and is not a remedy to most people.

@helio Agreed, just what I do when the headaches get to bad. Only thing I can do

I wish I could deal with people long enough to have a pain companion. It’s a great idea in theory though! Thing that works best for me is sleep.
