I was hypnotized by a therapist when I was about 14. I remember when I came out of it I felt really relaxed and like I had just gotten a whole nights sleep. It worked for a little while but it was definitely not a permanent fix. It was worth it for the short term relief.
I so hope you have good results and look forward to hearing about it. It's something I think I may like to try again. Thanks for posting this. I had completely forgotten about this option.
