Hello, My name is Dave and I could use some help. After 3 years of episodes of CH, I've just today been told what it is. They gave me a presciption for Sansert. I guess this is not a painkiller. My question is: Does anyone have any ideas or tricks or anything I can do while the pain is there? Or maybe ways to put it off before it starts? I've never been one to give in to pain, but will admit during these attacks, I lose my will. I've layed on the floor wishing I'd just die. I'm a very headstrong person and that is not a typical response from me to anything. I also wonder how I'll deal with work. I'm afraid to even drive in case of attack. How do you cope with these things? (I'm 38 and work installing floors) Any ideas? Thanks, Dave
