Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hello everyone, I haven't written for awhile but I have religiously read your posts and love all your warmth and honesty. My question today is whether or not anyone has tried biofeedback for their pain. I saw a doctor at the Pain Clinic today and asked if I could and he is signing me up for 4 or 5 sessions. Thanks, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 abraxis3@... Hi , Is biofeedback anything like meditation...relaxation? If so, I have, and it works!!! I've gone so far as telling myself " there is no such thing as pain " and actually having it subside for a few minutes. I haven't mastered the belief it would take to completely get rid of it yet, (up until now!), but, I'm working on it! I agree with you...all these people here are great!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 abraxis3@... Hi , Glad to hear that you practice meditation! I remember the first time I heard about it, and I said, " what's that? " I pictured those guys who use to stand in the airport, in their white robes, bald heads, and handed out flowers. (I can't remember what they called themselves) Something told me it wasn't that, and I went to the library and found books on the subject, but I kept finding other books, and the meditation books went unread (I felt really guilty!), but a year later, after all the (side-track) books, I found that they not only explained what it was, but why it worked. It was quite a journey that changed my life immensely. You go girl! After you learn Greek, do you plan to go to Greece? I've always wanted to go there. I hear it's really beautiful! I know I 'love' Greek food. I've driven all the way to Chicago (180 miles) just to have a gyros! There's this place on Broadway that has the best Greek food there is! I'm getting hungry for one, just thinking about it...I wonder if I can talk my husband into taking a ride?!! It might be worth getting stiff and sore over!!!! Have a great day!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 , I too have tried biofeedback for tinnitus and it never helped me either. I don't know what it would do for pain but if anyone tries it, please let us know if it works out. Take care.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Hey , I will let you know how the biofeedback goes. Because I have such horrible reactions to pain meds, I thought it would be a wiser choice. I don't really know what it is, but will find out in a few weeks. I'll let everyone know if it indeed helps with the pain. I actually am having a great day as I got out and felt very independent, something my spirit direly needed. I watched a movie with a friend tonight and then went on my trusty computer to see how all of you are. I love reading your posts as it is " research " into my symptoms -- trying to figure it all out, as I suppose we all are.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 abraxis3@... Dear , Here, here, you go girl!!! You're right, your spirit needs that feeling of 'independence'. Overcoming fears gives it just that I couldn't have put it any better! How much do we deprive ourselves? How often do we give ourselves permission? I think we're all pretty hard on ourselves at times, don't you? I can really go to town on giving myself a lashing, and I pay for it physically later! Atleast I'm becoming aware of it...and that's a start! Good luck with the biofeedback, and by the way, what is Trancendental Meditation anyway? I've hear of it...I might even be doing it and not know! Take care!

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 Thanks, -- Yeah, it seems that pain meds either make me feel really groggy (for a long time) or burn my stomach. I'm a doctor's challenge when it comes to drugs. I'm hoping biofeedback will be what I need.
