In my 12 year(6 episode) CH experience, drugs can help, caffeine can help, water can help, hot/cold baths and showers can help, dancing can help, and every contorted position can help. Only in this last series have I applied being still, centered, in the dark and quiet to the inner depths of my head. By accepting the pain and letting it run its inevitable course have I been able to not let it ruin my job, relationship, family life, etc. It is going to happen, like it or not, and by accepting it with fluid motion during meditation, have I been better with it. Also, does anyone find getting a neck massage(on the same side,of course) help? My g/f is a life-saver with this. I've got 12 days down, and probably 12-15 to go. I look forward to returning to normal again, but while this lasts I'm very thankful for this W/S!
Hang in there, you all!
