Hi Maygin,
I'm so sorry to hear of your continued problems.
Totally, totally agree with you on this. 2 years back, I could "feel" the thing spreading, and I had been burning it hard on both ends, with rehab efforts and projects for work. After one particularly stressful 12 hour day I ended up in the ER, and they all scratched their heads the same way.

Yes yes and yes. It's tough to meditate when you're on Threat Level Orange Pain Alert, but it helps, a LOT. I just sit as comfortably as possible, close my eyes and repeat "I AM" internally for 15 minutes. Just a nice quiet repetition in my head. Sounds cheesy but try it. The mantra forces the mind to quiet down.
