Looking for Distractions from Chronic Pain

I read a lot, as that’s my favorite. When the weather is good and I feel up to it, I like to fish. I will do what I can when I can. I love to hike but now only easy trails; I find poles help me a lot and magnesium salt baths afterwards are a lifesaver. I enjoy games on my phone or board games. Face Time calls with friends are lovely too.

I make clothes and blankets. Doilies are a bit beyond me now that my wrists won't take it. I haven't found anything yet for the severe pain, but I do distract myself as best I can.

Hi! I totally understand what you are saying. I am currently in a horrible fibromyalgia flare. Everything hurts to the core, even touching my hair hurts. 🥺 I loved the series How to Get Away With Murder. It keeps you intrigued. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did. Some of the things I do to distract myself are binge watching a good series, puzzles (word and picture), adult coloring books, and making jewelry. I've been wanting to learn how to crochet, cross stitch, or knit. Although, with my arthritis, it may be a little hard to do at times. My grandma taught me how to crochet, but I didn't continue with it. 😕 I wish I had. Gentle hugs to you! I hope you get some relief soon! But I know it never comes soon enough. 🫂

I tend to watch Criminal Minds or Star Trek. I also read, draw, and crochet. I'm sure that looking forward to an event really helps, too. As for the pain, when you figure it out, let me know! I completely understand.

I am right there with you. I feel the same
