The majority of the time I'm not in pain, but recently I've had a lot more trouble with pain than ever before. Since pain isn't one of my usual symptoms, I'm not as good at coping with it as I am at coping with other symptoms.
One thing I'm noticing is that it's hard to be in pain when you're tired in bed, because there's nothing to distract from the pain. When I'm able to be up up and about, I've noticed that the pain doesn't seem so bad because my attention is focused on other things.
Have any of you developed good strategies for not thinking about pain, or refocusing your attention elsewhere? Or have you tried any visualization strategies that help ease the pain a bit?
