Meditation app on yor phone it helps to relive the pain for a while and make you feel more refreshed or have a nap. Lavender and peppermint oil in almond oil mixed together rub in areas that are sore usually everywhere and also if you have a really bad headache rub a little bit of Vicks on your temples this also work if you rub it around your ear for earache

When I find a muscle is overly tight and painful I massage in a muscle rub with menthol in it. I think it's more the massage helping but the menthol at least distracts from the pain. I use it on the back of my neck before I go to bed and it seems to keep me from waking up with aheadache.

I have read a lot about Termeric and also spoke to my Fibro specialist about it. I just started it so we shall see.

I am sensitive to most pain relievers. I use a combination of turmeric/ginger capsules that I make. I add a dash of pepper to the mix because it intensifies the turmeric absorption. I use EFAs (fish oil) for joint pain. Other herbs and supplements.
