Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 You know what it feels like when you have to pick up a heavy object? All of your muscles tense up as you are carrying your burden. Well, I equate emotional burdens with physically carrying a heavy load. Emotional burdens make you tense up too. Unrelenting tension in our muscles translates to pain. I credit this group for helping us to lay our burdens down at least for a little while. Whatever it takes to let it all go, we have to try to do. Ruthie (just being Dr. Ruth for a moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have to agree with you there Ruthie! I know that I have been using a reflexologist who also does an ion cleanse before she works on my feet. Got it done twice in December and felt pretty good, although I did flare up my mono again and am " aching like a toothache " . I think I'm going to give her a call and see when she can come on over. It releases so much tension/stress which I think is what is triggering this flare for me. The good news saga continues as I did go into the PCP tonight and saw the one who set up the referral. He was shocked that the girls in the referral desk didn't qualify the neuro but notated that I was going to see a rheumatologist on the 17th (who is in the same group as my endocrinologist which should be good, right?). He gave me 2 meds for the pain (robaxin and darvocet) and the pharmacist said " don't drive " so.....guess I'll be hanging out here until I can get above the pain, which is going to take me a few days I think, especially since we are ina cold spell (it never got above freezing here in Georgia today!).
