For much of the time after my diagnosis, I searched for that magic pill, that silver bullet that would remove my pain forever. I did find a class through Kaiser Permanente (an American health care provider) where I learned hundreds of different ways to reduce (manage) pain. I have managed to incorporate 3 or 4 of them into my routine which will knock my pain down 1 - 3 steps. Never put it all away, but simply knock it down.

Everyone is different. I tried sleeping with a pillow between my knees on my side -- something other members of the class said was very helpful to them -- but not to me. People were there with different causes of pain and different levels of mobility.

Good luck with what is a life-long disability and sometimes bureaucratic struggle.
