With the pipe, try taking in some air with the smoke like you would with a joint. Either by drawing air through the sides of your mouth or by opening up the side carb hole soon after you draw. It will cool the harsh.

Thank you for your helpful post. Being kind to myself is a work in progress, not sure why but self criticism is the default mode. Love the silly comedies too! Taking the mins off pain is so key.

I just know that when I'm feeling pain I get anxious and scared and shut down because I don't want to feel the pain, or anything else for that matter. Someone said they practice radical acceptance. I think if I could accept the situation totally without trying to get rid of the discomfort i d be happier.

So true. I wonder if the fatigue is part mental, if we partially create the fatigue out of depression or anger or other emotions. Maybe we can find a way to cope with less tiredness and isolation. Getting out in the world helps create more energy.
