i dont know what type of pain yall suffer from but on #6 i always go to a quiet dark place. noise and light are too much for me when im having a ch. also #8 i dont quite get along with. i have found that biofeedback helps me during a ch. if i try to keep my self calm breath deeply and concentrate on anything other than my pain i do much better than i do when i let the pain get the best of me. if i let loose and cry sreem etc. it just makes it worse. all thoes things increase your blood pressure. the last thing you want to do. learnig biofeedback was the best thing i ever did. it helped me to learn to manage my pain rather than let it take me over. dont get me wrong. the pain is and always takes me over but since learning this it helps me to take the punches as they come.
