Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 > > I actually learned to meditate for my migraines when I was 12. I honestly believe if I had not learned it, I probably would have attempted suicide on more than one occasion during a severe migraine. I have also delivered two children with nothing more than pitocin to help me along and the meditation to help me through it. One of which was delivered during the time that I was being diagnosed with my current illnesses. So I absolutely believe pain and meditation work for me. Probably about two times a years my migraines get to the point where I can't handle it on my own any longer and I go to the ER... thats where I've been at lately with the RA. Like last night, my ankle hurt to the point where it felt like it was going to pop from the inside out... if that makes any sense... and it wasn't constant... It came and went like contractions (yes, I know I sound crazy, LOL) After about 8 hours of that, I wasn't sure I could take anymore, but then it seemed to relax a bit... my ER is only > about 3 miles away and at 11 pm chances are I'd be the only patient there... but I guess my worry is more on how I'd be received since even my family rolls their eyes when I limp... does that make sense? Thanks for your response. Hope you are having warm days and sleep filled nights. > kerri sue > KERRI DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THEM WHEN THEY ROLL THEIR EYES THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND-HOW COULD THEY??WE EXPECT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND-THE DOCS- OUR FAMILIES BUT IT IS IN A WAY LIKE HAVING A BABY --CAN A MAN EVER UNDERSTAND THAT??SAME DIFFERENCE..AND YOU DONT SOUND CRAZY EITHER=PAIN MOVES ALL AROUND ON ME AS WELL AND IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO PUT IT TO WORDS--I LEARNED MEDITATION AFTER AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE 4 YEARS AGO -AND YES IT WAS PARTLY BECAUSE I JUST COULDNT TAKE THE PAIN-WHAT IT WAS DOING TO ME AND EVERYONE AROUND ME--SO I DO UNDERSTAND--I WAS ON THE FLOOR AGAIN LAST NIGHT-JUST PASSED RIGHT OUT-DIFFERENT THAN USUAL-WHO KNOWS-I WILL HAVE THE PT GUY CHECK ME ON MONDAY--JUST SORE NOTHNG BROKE--HEY THIS IS MY LIFE--LEAN ON ME ANYTIME YOU WANT....LYNN > > --------------------------------- > Photos > Got holiday prints?
