I am new to this board (and the subject of self hypnosis) and am still a bit skeptical. I have tried many treatments, both traditional and alternative, for debilitating cramps. I would be willing to try self hypnosis but I am still unsure how it would actually work. All the online information I have read seems to suggest that it is really only to help relax the patient to help them better cope with the pain on an emotional level. Rather than to actually decrease the pain. It almost sounded as if they were saying that "pain is all in a person's head anyway." I can assure anyone that this pain is not all in my head. I'm 32 and am ready to start a campaign for a hysterectomy if something cannot be done about it. I need real pain reduction...not relaxation to help me cope better. I'm tired of coping...I want relief. Any suggestions?
Much thanks
