Good advice!
After eight years of suffering and only one year of accurate diagnosis under my belt. I am still developing my mental game plan. I have always tried to use time as my distraction. Time is as real as my HA and I know both will pass. 30 min. kitchen timer does the trick.
Currently there is no cure for the pain, only short term relief (sometimes). You have to get control of the mental part of this. CH IS NOT TERMINAL! Yes we sufer but lets put our game face on and fight. Don't get me wrong people, sometimes fighting means crying, whinning, or typing. Whatever helps.
To Gary - thanks for the energy bar today. Positive and Negative are both contagious.
