Dear Livingeazy,
there are so many causes and cures one could take a lifetime to try them all....If you could do a search on Google on "Cognitive Therapy", you may find this is a immediate and to the point therapy that helps your other methods work more effectively.
I wish you all the luck and good chemicals you are capable of making---this is from someone with first episode at age 4 and now I am almost 40, so I still work on it, and it has gotten immensely better; but when I get a pain surge, I slide back into tears and despair, too.
We don't know the secret, yet. But maybe someone will find it tomorrow.
Keep hoping.
