Cutting out or significantly reducing sugar unfortunately helps. Same with alcohol and most substances—they will temporarily make your pain better but worse in the long run. I love a good bath. I sleep longer to cope with the fatigue and pain. Also try trauma therapy. A lot of chronic pain is tied to childhood trauma. Prolonged exposure therapy or a group therapy have the most evidence, but some people swear by EMDR. I would also just recommend therapy like CBT and DBT to cope with pain, pain-related anxiety, pain catastrophizing, depression, and distress tolerance in general. ACT can also be a great therapy for this. mindfulness has done wonders for me. Massages when I feel like I can’t take it anymore. Lastly, I try to focus on what I value, which can be hard because of how pain can keep you from what you value, but there are often ways.
