Re: muscle spasms

[Guest guest]

Tom what is hystochemical?

Also when you speak of emotional/muscle spasms what are you referring to? When I chatted with Dr. Conway he said its better not to have pt then to have a pt that isn't highly skilled with pn, I don't think mine is and I am due to go to her again Wednesday. She deals with pelvic issues, but how do you know when one is truly skilled? Im not sure what to do now

Carol,

Hysto-chemical reefers to the tissues producing chemicals in response

to the inflamation..like the Mast cells over-producing all the

histamines.

YOur brain is a master computer and it does not understand pain the way

we think it does.

It understands threat..yes threat!. So when you are in pain your brain

feels you are threatened and it would like you to do something about it.

Like if you were being attacked by a crazy man with a knife you would

scream, run, fight back and your brain and nervous system and your

adrenal glands

give you a the adrenaline to do it. But with chronic pain like you and

the women on the VV site have, there is little to do but go to doctors,

therapists, take drugs and discuss the problems.

Your brain thinks you are not listening to the threat and it turns up

the volume of the pain and thus the pain becomes emotional;

I can't stand it, ..Screaming to be heard, ready to craw out of my

skin, I'm so fed up with these doctors,... etc., etc., etc.

These are emotional statements and they burn themselves into your

nervous system via the emotions that are used to describe them.

If it was a burned finger and the pain went away in a day or so and you

knew it would..very little emotions associated with it. But after

days, weeks, months, and in some cases years the pain is burned into

the nervous system like a record that keeps skipping an playing the

same very bars of a song.

Anyway, when the brain thinks you are under threat, it turns up the

volume of the pain sensation AND increases the tone in your entire body

to ready it for fight or flight. So this increased tone is what helps

produce and prolong the spasm. Sorry, a long way to answer the

question but that's the way it happens.

The elavil, calms you down, reduces the excitability of the nervous

system and you feel somewhat better.

EFT is the only technique I know that specifically addresses these

emotional components by making your brain stop seeing things as a

threat, thus turning off the 4 alarm fire in your nervous system,

reducing tone and helping and in many cases eliminating the pain.

I know I sound like a broken record but that's the way I have seen it

unfold.
