This is the first in a series of explanations, essays, and exercises for coping with Chronic Pain.  A friend requested I explain how I've used CBT to deal with pain, and I promised to provide both information and practical exercises.  While I'm not sure how many posts this will take, I have at least fourteen exercises to cover.

This post will cover:

• What is pain? 
• What is CBT for Chronic Pain? What do I know about pain? Where did I get this?
• The Pain Scale, with some examples
• Exercise #1 It’s a capital error to theorize before one has data

( Cut for very, VERY long )
