Having a list of treatment/coping options to refer to when the pain gets bad has been enormously helpful. When I can't think, when the pain and the disorientation have taken over, these items save me:
Weapons in My Arsenal
* Water, massive cup of
* Theracane, for myofascial massage
* Sunglasses
* Earplugs
* Hot showers
* Painkillers, no more than once a week
* DVR, for commercial-free distraction
* Ice packs, several
* Muscle Relaxers
* Internet, for knowledge and distraction
* Massage: back, head, feet, hands, anywhere I can get it
* Meditation
* THC
* Fresh ginger
* Chamomile/Special Relaxing/Mint Tea
* Light, munchy foods, like popcorn
* Controlled climate
