Me too. I have fibromyalgia and as a result feel pain more intensely than a normal person. That is why I would like to know how I could learn how to do this. I don't think it is intuitive. There must be some techniques.

Well I find that if I am looking for my pain (like

when a gp wants to know where and " how much " it hurts)

I then become aware of my pain and yeah I hurt a lot.

I also have fibro. But somehow I know how to block

it; some because I grew up with bad headaches and

migraines and my mom does not get headaches (she

called them all psychosomatic). When I was a kid I

practiced walking on very sharp gravel barefoot until

I could block out the hurt.

I have it too and sometimes I don't realise how bad it is until someone

touches me. I know it hurts a lot but when someone actually touches me it

really makes it 100 times worse.

One doctor asked me one day if my lower back hurt (I was there because of my

upper back and headache) I said not much......he pressed lightly on my lower

back and I jumped off the table. My upper back hurt so much that I didn't

even know that my lower back hurt too.

I can identify with that. It is b/c that the one part hurts so much that it overpowers the other.

Sometimes even my hair hurts.
