Re: QUESTION PLEASE(pain meds fuel fibro)

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark - Welcome to our group! I'm really sorry that you are in pain, and not able to sleep properly. The most important thing is to get some relief from your symptoms. So that you can get some much needed rest. You may have to book in to see a rheumatologist, too. We all soooo understand what you are going through.

You can go to Dominie's Newsletter at WWW.FMS-HELP.COM and do a search there on subjects like insomnia, pain management, medications etc. I have included some useful links, below, to help get you started. I hope you get better very soon. Hugs 'n Smiles, Carlene.

Just another suggestion here: Maybe, just maybe, the surgery--which

is an invasive technique--disturbed the muscles, fascia and connective

tissues which is not only possible however probable. When you cut

tissues during surgery, adhesions and tight tissues and constricting

will occur. Think about it--when it does occur, it will tighten up

one side of the body in that area and then ultimately tighten up and

cause constriction in other parts of the body on the side of the

surgery. Then the other side begins to compensate for this and there

you go. This happened to me when I had surgery at age 17 for a

hernia. My symptoms I had before the surgery got much worse. It was

only until 10 years at age 40 that a physical therapist who understood

this and did myofascial release, found the constricted tissues around

the hernia scar--just because it heals doesn't mean that it heals in a

balanced way and the tissues relax--and released the fascia that the

muscles and tissues could then relax and balance out. Just a

thought!!!!

What you have to say certainly makes a lot of sense. It was very fortunate that you found an enlightened physical therapist. Glad you eventually found relief. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Hugs 'n Smiles Carlene

-Whenever you cut, you change structure, because you disrupt and

disturb the natural order of tissues. The fascia around the muscle

then gets constricted and tightens and then everything tightens and so

on and so on and so on. And then the other side begins to react to

this imbalance and try to compensate and there starts the pain

syndrome. It just goes on and on until someone comes along and

notices the imbalanced tissues and rebalances it. Simple however

noone ever looks at finding out where the imbalance originated from.

All they think of are drugs, medications and surgery to remedy

symptoms. I always like to look at the cause of the origination of

symptoms. Let's get to the cause of the issue and not try to just

cover it up with drugs. Just my thoughts!!!

It can be healed immediately or ASAP after surgery if doctors

understood that after altering one's structure through cutting and

disturbing the tissues and energetic field of a person, all they need

to do is myofascial release on the area so that the tissues will

become elastic again and refrain from constricting and not form

adhesions--then you would be fine. How many doctors do this though?

I'm willing to bet zero. Structure alteration then affects function.

And the syndrome gets worse or begins.

Years ago, a woman I met who had fibro and was working full time and

doing just marvelous, told me how she conquered it, healed it and came

into balance with it. She never said cured it and when asked, she

said, that as long as she stays in balance and gets back into balance

pretty soon after falling out of it, she is fine and is living as

normal life as possible. She said she had to learn her life lessons

and the fibro was the way for her to learn these lessons. She was a

very smart being and set me on the path of learning what my fibro was

all about. There is meaning in this syndrome. Hard to see that

through all the pain, however I have seen what she meant first hand

and have come to bless this syndrome as it actually is keeping me

healthy. Without it, I would be on the path to self destruction, on a

SAD diet, in a job I hated, and treating people callously and without

love. STrange how something so wonderful could come out of such pain

and hardship. STrange but true.

Well thank you for those kind words.

Let me not make light though of how hard the process can be. I

remember the pain that everyone here talks about as being unbearable

and so overwhelming that thinking positively and looking for lessons

wasn't the most foremost thing on my mind at times. And being

pleasant and positive when others were trying to help me by being

themselves and doing ordinary things(that I couldn't do) is not the

easiest thing to do when one is in pain throughout the body. I know,

I've been there and done that. And finding ones way through this

syndrome and out the other side is quite challenging. However as one

who has gone through this process by just listening and being led by

the universe(all the answers do come my friends if you just stay aware

of what you are being told to do)and is about 85% through with major

reductions in pain and symptoms--I will say that I can now see the

positivity and blessings in everything that comes my way. My

gratitude levels are high all the time. The Universe is set up for us

to heal. Take my case. Out of work since 1991--denied social

security disability twice back then because noone even knew what fibro

was let alone get a diagnosis--no medical insurance, etc, etc, etc.

Anyway, long story short--everything I needed came to me through low

cost programs, doctors, pracitioners, and even free workshops,

acupuncturists, dentists, etc. It was amazing to watch and see it

unfold. This showed me that there is a unseen force out there and

really strengthened my connection to spirit and the universal forces.

It led me to go back to school in 2003-2004 and become a certified

holistic health counselor and nutritional counselor and start a new

career--doing something I love and am great at. And being an empath

and intuitive medical consultant, I can feel others pain in my body

and then help them figure out what to do to heal. It's an amazing

turnaround from a person who years ago was totally disabled, lost in

isolation in my apartment, devoid of friends who had abandoned

me--can't blame them, I was never around for anyone--and not bringing

in any money at all. There is a purpose here, guys. Just know that.

YOu can check out my website if desired( no pressure or sales here)

at www.healingbuddy.com to see more of what I do--even though what is

listed is only some of what I really do.

Love, light and healing to you all.
