meditation is a very broad term
can ABSOLUTELY testify that I can SUBSTANTIALLY HELP reduce the severity of the impact of the pain attacks, AND their negative effect on my overall life, with mental discipline/meditation - which is EVRY VERY different from gritting one' steeth & gutting it out tough guy style - THAT'S what most of us find doesn't help
Karl - if it doesn't work for you, or you won't put the time & effort into learning & practicing, all I can say is you may be letting some common misconceptions get in the way of helping yourself
there is NO - REPEAT - NO magic bullet for these things - I only feel sorry for folks who can't allow themselves any releif or positivity - it may be the best we can do !!! at least for today
