I would rather take Hydrocodone than deal with the pain! I'm not sure you realize it, but I have tried almost everything under the sun trying to control these things - INCLUDING the holistic way and the herbal way.
I have meditated. Tried all kinds of things. I even went without any meds of any type for a time.
For me, self control means staying away from sharp objects, keeping ropes from my neck, oxygen masks away from the car exhaust, etc.
I have tried the cold approach and the drug approach.
Right now I am at the mindset of this : Do whatever you have to do to cope with the CH and keep yourself from slitting your wrist in the shower!!!
Sorry you are having a hard time with the other problems. Hopefully you will be able to beat it.
It's not about self control - it's about coping with the beast.
Peace,
