Take my mind off it! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so pain is a normal occurrence. When it goes beyond the medication and it does, I take my dog for a walk in the woods, or seaside. I try to think of resolving problems, be it Political or Social, do anything to keep the mind occupied and not on the pain. I had a MRI, in a very old enclosed machine, or torpedo tube. All I could see was a blue line in front of my face, the roof being four inches from my nose, no light, no communication, just a small tube of air blowing over my left shoulder and I went in head first. Panic, too right the heart was racing, the adrenaline rushing and I wanted OUT! However I decided to 'pretend' it was a nice hot summer day and I was lying on the beach in the blazing sun, as it was hot, while the waves crashed in, due to the noise. 30 Minutes later the MRI was complete and I was on my way out. However, the table moved slow and then just when I thought FREEDOM it came to a stop, so panic started. I was trying to figure out if I was stuck and how I was going to get out of this, when the shelf moved and I literally went down and out. The Mind plays games with all of us, so the choice allow it to run scenarios the 'what if' situations, or decided to ignore it and pretend you are doing something else. Good Luck
i make the people around me hurt as well.
