Do you use computer games & online gaming to help manage your pain?

I have a very painful bladder disorder called IC. During a flare up it causes the bladder walls to swell up like a bad bladder infection. Ulcers can develope causing more pain and bleeding. Kind of like a VERY bad bladder infection that doesn't go away.





I've started using computer games and online games to help manage my pain. I was shocked one night while playing a game from POGO that a lot of the people in the room also had chronic pain. It was neat to know I wasn't alone.





I write articals on the web sometimes for to help earn a little cash. I am planning on writing one about this.





I was wanting to know if any of you who suffer from chronic pain use games like I do to help "take you away" from the pain. Please let me know what problem you have and what kind of computer games you use to help you.

It always helps to take your mind off of your troubles to do something else. I don't play computer games, but what I do to keep myself from thinking of my chronic pain is answer questions here on yahoo answers.
Reply:yes, i use computer games, and i also use yahoo games, yahoo answers, pogo.com, reflexive.com, and king.com. you really should try king. com, i think that you might really like it a lot.depression, aniexty, grieving, and just tired of all the empty sadness i feel.
Reply:Often times I get on the computer and e-mail my friends or just get on the computer and dream about different skating things (since I really love figure skating). I don't typically play games unless I play games with my friends online on MSN, but sometimes just searching the web helps when my pain flares up. I also like to bake and cook to try to keep my mind off of my leg pain. I'm 15 and have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in my right leg which causes a lot of pain for me so anything to keep my mind off the pain or help with the pain is always helpful!

The game starts you off with the choice of several [base] classes such as warrior, ranger, spiritualist, or specialist. Each has their own unique abilities and stats (to an extent). Your base class is the most important part of your character as it will decide what class-specific skills you will be able to learn later on in the game.





At level 30, you will be able to advance into your second class and gain new abilities. You must proceed to your Race Manager and select [Class Promotion] from the options. Here you will have all options available to you, in other words, a warrior can advance into any class a ranger, spiritualist, or specialist can, and vice versa. However, there are strings attached. Although you can freely advance into any class of your choice, only the class(es) which connect to your [base] class will reward you with [class-specific] skills. These skills play an important role in the game so it would be wise to choose your class carefully.





At level 40, you will be able to advance into your third class and gain new abilities. This is similar to the level 30 class promotion, except your options of classes are severely limited. Your level 40 class options are determined by the class you selected at level 30. For more on which level 40 classes will be available to which level 30 classes, see the race-specific class guides.
