In my thoughts and prayers that you find a managment techinique that works for you.
Know that we do understand  .
At the moment I'm sort of grasping at straws to find something that might augment the techniques that aren't cutting it as much as they used to.

Writing is another good one I use when I'm in pain, stressed, or just feel like writing thoughts down. I find that when I am in pain and decide to just write about it, by the end I am usually doing much better. It helps to just let it out.
I tried knitting at one time. It worked okay. I'm just not interested in it at all and so I think that's why it didn't work as well.
