,

Probiotics are a class of bacteria that is good. This include Lactobacillus

acidophilus and Bifido Bacterium also known as Bifidus. These bacteria help

to maintain the flora balance in the body, and in the GI track, they also

help to digest the food and produce some vitamins. They are essential to

life, though some people choose to ignore the evidence.

Hi Allan,

I saw Dr. Weiss (and his PT) in San Francisco for myofascial release. He has

written a few articles on this treatment as a necessary component of a holistic

vv program (theory is along the lines of Glazer's theory). You may have read

his articles already, but if not, let me know. It was presented as a means of

breaking the feedback loop that perpetuates the pain of vv-in other words,

relief. Sometimes he used topical anesthetic mixed with lubricant. Big

emphasis on breathing during the treatment. I don't know if this answered your

question.

Question

<< File: ATT00002.html >> To those of you who have had deep internal muscle

release done to you, a question

How do you stand the pain?

The pelvic floor and pyriformis muscles are often very, very tender

Most women almost jump or cry with pain when the muscles are touched. I explain

during the limited pelvic that I do that these muscles ( and I touch them) are

quite sore and could be treated by release etc.

Most think that it would be painful

How is it done or presented to you?

A colleague of mine in Calgary does local anaesthetic block and then sends to a

physio immediately for stretching etc

How are you able to tolerate the pain

What would happen when he found a painful muscle? Well, that indicated

that the muscle needed work (was contracted and needed to relax). In fact

the whole goal of treatment seemed to be: " Let's find the painful spots! "

All he did was to keep gentle finger pressure on the tight spot and hold

it there until finally, it would release. Sometimes it did hurt a lot.

Interesting that you mention Botox. I am friends with an ex-boyfriend who

is an anesthesiologist. He now works for a neurological pharmaceutical

company, so he is familiar with botox. He suggested that it might be a way

to prevent/ alleviate pelvic muscle spasm. I asked Dr. Weiss about it, and

his response was: not a good idea. The muscles are already damaged from

chronic contraction, and botox paralysis would further weaken them. The

goal according to him is to strengthen the muscles and bring them under

voluntary control.

Re: Question

<< File: ATT00001.html >> Suppose he found a tight painful muscle, eg

levator. Would it hurt if he persisted in massaging it

Has anyone seen BoTox used here?

My patients who might benefit all have a lot of pain.

Have you had it. Did it hurt?

Hi :

If this new problem is in any way related to a w/c claim then go to

the er,give them your w/c#.They will call your claims adjuster to

get

permission to give you medical treatment.This will cover all the

bases

for you and you will know up-front if you or the w/c carrier is

responsible.Good luck and I'm sorry to hear of the painful turn of

events.

A FRIEND IN PAIN

Theresa,

You might want to call the pharmicist and see if it could be a medication

interaction or a side effect from a med you are taking.

May God bless you and keep you,

" Pain is a subjective experience; it is a personal possession, a private

feeling, and as individual as a fingerprint. " How to Cope With Chronic Pain,

by Hendler, M.D. and Judith A. Fenton, 1986, page 5.

Thanks cookie and others who have tried to help me. Went to go and

pick up my medication script today at the doctors office and told

them again about the headaches. Now a nurse is supposed to call me

sometime here. I have been wondering if it's my medications or

migraines also. I will try the ice pack deal when it acts up again

and see if it helps. If I don't have an ice pack would a cold wash

cloth work for now do ya think?

Another thing that they changed at my doctors office is when I have

an appointment to pick up my pain script medicine, the medical

assistant talks to you and fills out the script and they charge 10

dollars for this now! Unreal! I think that is a lot of bullcrap if

you ask me. I mean it's not like we are made out of money. We are

barely getting by anymore and now they charge ten dollars just to get

your script! What is this world coming to ya know. I think that is

just taking advantage of people that are already suffering enough.

What do you all think? I am mad about the new arrangement at the

doctors office/pain clinic. Gee, what next?? Thanks for hearing me

out everyone. I am glad that I can post here and vent. :-) I need

to do this more often other than keeping it all inside.

-Hugs, Theresa

Hi Theresa

I have been plagued with migraines my entire life and have passed them onto

my daughter. Because they come at any time (especially when I have eaten a

tiny bit to much chocolate <g>) I alwasys keep a wet washcloth in my

freezer. I put it in a ziplock bag and it freezes real nice. You can bend

it to match the shape of your forehead, neck or the area over your eyes real

easily.

In a pinch you can also use frozen peas or corn. Don't laugh, I've even had

doctors recommend those two alternatives to ice packs. They mold to the

human body real easily.

Hope that helps.

I agree with the script price. Un real. My DRS. nurse is the one who write

my meds out but I still get same bill as if I see DR. I need to hollow about

this next time. That would be better for me, but it still is bad when we are

already suffering enough. The Government or our employers should have to pay

this cost anyway. A wash cloth might help some but not much I don't think.

Use some ice cubes and place in towel and use hammer, then place in plastic

bag. Remember 15 on 15 off. I sure hope you find relief. Good luck and take

care of ones self. your friend cookie
