Hi, my name is Craig . I live in Sydney Australia, and I work as an

educational assistant for the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe. I have suffered

CHRONIC PAIN RSD CRPS that started in 2004. I am asking people just like myself

with chronic pain to have a look and tell people just like myself tips on how to

live with chronic pain in their life. I will also tell your Group about myself.

and give your Group answers.

Thanks,

Craig

All,

I believe biofeedback is a tool like any other and has to fit your lifestyle. I

went to my biofeedback training and it helped me to realize that my breathing,

ans starting from my toe to my head is " all happy now " but mytranducers strapped

to me I could manipulate my blood pressure and temperature which impressed me

and I innately do this when I have a strong cycle of pain.

I now have intractable pain and it is not a tool I can use during the times of

intense intractable pain as my neurons do not want to listen to me and I take my

muscle relaxant and it relaxes where I need it and I can get the sleep I need to

get.

I also like Reality Therapy concept from Glasser because it helps to

disregard the all or nothing thing to name a few, An example, No one likes me,

Now Bennie you know your dogs love you so I feel better as I have meet better

dogs than some people sometimes.

Craig, I am glad it is a tool you can use and I reach into the realms of

studies, many out there in the alternative fields, imagery, acupuncture, look at

the Siminton Cancer Clinic with their mind uses, neurostimulation, and it has to

relate to you own life , I believe. Sitting in a wookd, listening to birds and

identifying with biniculors by creek with electric heat suit and socks is much

better for me, but that is me. I am glad you are here. I had to have bio

feedback with my pain therapy, if insurances do not pay there are many cognitive

training types with counselors that do get paid.

I am looking into the ketamine IV therapy my prior pain doctor is doing. Glad I

didn't make him mad.
