Weird experience
 

Hi everyone has anyone ever had this experience, I was relaxing one evening watching TV when it was as if someone had flicked a switch off on my right hand, every bit of pain had disappeared about five mins later same thing happened in left hand but returned with a vengence about thirty mins later.......god I thought I was going into remission no such luck.......my condition is small fibre sensory neuronopathy also affects autonomic nerves I would be grateful for any feedback..............ty

I think when you are distracted enough, your brain does not pay attention to pain signals the same way.

On vacation this summer, the first 10 days were very stressful for me since our lovely cat was sooooo suddenly ill from an injury.

I was so focused on her 24/7, my feet never ever hurt. Then after she recovered, the burning came BACK... I was very disappointed. It could have been all the cortisol my body was pumping out from the stress, or it could have been my not paying attention to anything much but to her!

Thanks mrsD hope the cat is doing ok now and hope you managed to enjoy the rest of your holiday

Thank you, yes. She has recovered. But it was a horrible bite from a mink (most likely), that turned into a huge infection,
and at one point she went into a coma! Getting her hydrated was a challenge, but the Vet up there was so nice to us.
We had to take her in twice, but her crisis on a Sat night was something I hope no one has to go thru ever!

I have not had this exeprience but that is great you did. A thought came to mind if you have tried guided imagery or meditation? Or even biofeedback? If it was distraction like Mrs D stated some of these may also help you distract and also calm your body.
Mrs D glad your cat is doing better.

Thanks Daniella will look into what you have suggested, I attended a pain clinic last year for 3 months was taught mindfullness unfortunately it did not work for me but will give anything a try
