Amanda Greene lives with pain. Greene says her pain comes from lupus, an autoimmune disease that attacks her organs and tissues. "If I don't have nerve pain, I might have joint pain. If I'm not having joint pain, I might have headaches." She tried taking medicine and other treatments, but she suffered an allergic reaction to opioids, a strong pain killer. Now Amanda Greene is trying something different. It is called “virtual reality” therapy. Virtual reality, or VR, is growing in popularity in video gaming and some training programs. The person wears special equipment that covers the eyes. Inside, he or she sees images and hears sounds coming from a computer program. The experience makes people feel as if they are in the picture they are watching. For Greene, virtual experience helped her feel more at ease and trained her to breathe in a special way. She saw a tree, crystals, and her breath as she was guided to breathe in and out.
