Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi: I just wanted to say that I am going to try neuro biofeedback. I have done the tests and I get the results of an EEG on Monday next week. Then the treatments will be discusses. What they say in a nutshell is that from stress as a kid or whenever you had deep deep stress, our brain got stuck in a position from the repeated pattern of stress. Our brain wave will show places where the neurons hang together and either are stuck in an on position, or an off position, or maybe in a hypervigilant state. Its like our fight or flight mechanism also gets stuck in the brain and we are always clenching and holding ourselves to ward off whatever it is that makes us feel unsafe, or stressed out. This is at a sub conscious level. Its a pattern that worked as kids, but now as adults it no longer serves us but hinders us. What they do is biofeedback and later show you your Eeg again and how it has changed. Most fibro people have long term depression or anxiety issues or stress patterns of some sort. I notice most people on the fibro list are quite caring and compassionate and we feel others pain too much. That is a stress too and we become stuck in the on position perhaps. The way I am stating it is only metaphors for what is going in our brains. But if you look up neuro biofeedback you can read about it for yourself. Its possible some insurances will pay for this. Also, google EMDR. This is also a technique used by therapists to change trauma victims brain patterns but is less sessions and done by psychologists so more chance of insurance paying for it. Anyhow this is my new years plan for my fibro. I am quite excited at the prospect of breaking patterns that I know I¹m stuck in. even if I only handled the anxiety, inability to concentrate and depression I would be happy to live with fibro then. If you know what I mean????

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi Ann, I was told by my holistic dr to begin walking more than I was. I said I was too sore. He said you will get stronger. It worked, I still have fibro pain, but the increased exercise (walking 4 x week and not too much, 30 mins slow enough to not hurt much) has made me stronger to push through the pain. That's an accomplishement to me. Also getting my diet very low carb and that helps me feel better and I lost about 20 lbs which helps the pain and the confidence. Also my revelation is a simple supplement that has helped me to make those walks and greatly reduced CFS, which is Corvalen M. So that was a big revelation for the qualtiy of my life. And my goal is to keep walking, putting one foot in front of the other, and to increase meditation and prayer to keep calmness increased and fear reduced regarding my survival issues monetarily. It can get very hard for me and it can for many of us on this board and others with fibro and other illnesses. I hope you had a beautiful holiday and wish you the best. Love, Jean > > > Wanted to know if anyone would be willing to share any accomplishments or revelations in regard to their fibromyalgia, no matter how small, for the past year of 2010?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 So encouraging, my fellow fibromyalgics (is that really a word, lol)taking charge present and past. I am so encouraged by all of what you have said. It is my opinion that staying on top of the issue, is the beginning of freedom to heal! I for one, did an extensive emotional releasing session, it acutally combined many modalities. Many spots my body were taken care of, using, tapping, biofeedback, touch for health work, etc. It was just a combination of many things, depending on where the next emotion was stuck. I really appreciated this as I know that the body can hold emotions in different parts of the body. I was pretty scary and intensive. But I'm glad that I went through it, it was only scary because I didn't know what was stored that might come out. However, my mind and body were ready to be done with it all. I am happy that I was able to come out of it a better person, instead of what I could have justifiably turned into, and that is an embittered person. I do believe, actually, I am quite confident that this is why my recent fall hadn't activated my fybromyalgia on the level that it should have. I mean I was really prepared for the worst,seeing that I have sprains throughout my body and on both sides of my body. My Dr. said that everything was " sprainy. " It's interesting that because of this recent emotional release, that I am forever changed. Which, I believe puts me in a better position to handle my fibromyalgia. I am so grateful that God loves me enough to have not giving up on me, but, instead brought me to this point of healing. My future goals are quite simple really, to try and stay pure and true to life, which I now know includes me, Ann. YEAH! I feel that this will be a great reliever of my fibromyalgia pain. I also plan to be more mindful of what I interpret as pureness that I put into my body and on it. I will try and ask myself, 'does being organic alone, mean that this is good for me, can my body use this for it's greatest good?' If the answer is no, than I know that it could possibly start a forest fire w/my fibro, and thus is not pure and true for me. I also want to impute no bad motives on others, because this can also keep the adrenals running, as you are constantly worried about situations that may only exist in your own mind. And, once again, there starts the inflammation process and you have activated your own pain levels once again. Someone mentioned walking, this is also one of the things that I'd like to do, to be more active. I think that this may be one of the hardest things for us. However, now that my inner turmoil is released, I am so looking forward to using that extra energy to try and push myself, to have a more active lifestyle, despite the exhaustion and limitations. BTW, w/the releasing work, you might be surprised as to how far back in age you have stored emotional traumas and thought process issues. Well, GOOD HEALTH TO YOU ALL, during 2011 and thanks for sharing! Ann M.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Jean- What is Corvalen M and what does it do? I'm going to the Doc on the 3rd so I may mention it if it can help- thank you Re: What goals do you have for the upcoming year in regard to your fibromyalgia..... Hi Ann, I was told by my holistic dr to begin walking more than I was. I said I was too sore. He said you will get stronger.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi Ann: I was so glad to read your post. Its inspiring to hear how emotional release helps us fibros. I do think that diet alone cannot do it. But neither can emotional release alone do it for us. I absolutely believe that without faith in God, or whatever some people think of as God, their higher power etc. is necessary. Many paths, one goal. Without acknowledging our spiritual source I think one part of the recipe is missing. So, here is to a new year with the right recipe for each of us. Happy New Year to all of us. rosemarie > > > > > > So encouraging, my fellow fibromyalgics (is that really a word, lol)taking > charge present and past.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hi Rosemarie, I couldn't agree with you enough. When I felt I couldn't walk anymore, God showed me that he was carrying me. So that is first in my life as well. But I which you a positive year for 2011 as well.
