Things not to do or to do during an attack!

Several things i've noticed that either intensify the pain or pro-long the attack!
 
 I don't: try to blow my nose on the side of my head where the pain is (pain gets much worse).
 I don't grind or clutch my teeth! same results.
 
 I do use finger induced gagging (sometimes will help abort) if not, i go for the Anti-Demon kit.  
   
  Add to the list sure everyone knows something that can help!

I'm with you in not moving, pacing about, etc.
 
The best thing for me is to sit in a comfortable, supportive chair (high back) and get my body so balanced that I can relax all muscles. While it's hard during the peak of the attack, it's helpful to get into a meditative state--at least try and relax and move in that direction! I want the room to be as dark and quiet as possible.

It depends on the severity of the attack.  With anything under a kip 6, I can do sitting back, relaxing my body and meditating technique.  Anything higher and I have to pace.  With a full blown attack, sometimes inducing myself to vomit will help the severity of the pain.  I can never blow my nose.  Also, very hot showers help sometimes.
