Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi all, Carole Ehlers here. Just jumping in to say a quick hello. I have been to the EDNF Conference and once again it was wonderful. I am known as the infamous girl with the last name Ehlers and that leads to wonderful conversations. Because I am ADHD(?) the pace of the Conference is an adrenaline kicker and the fact that we all can talk openly about our disorder, actually encouraged to do so, sent my fibro flare into high gear. I came back and collapsed as always. Totally worth it!! Mike Uggen worked on me and my 8 subluxed ribs. Did I know I had 8 ribs subluxed - NO! - news to me. I just hurt in a all over achy way. I was tender to the touch under the arms and along the breast bone. It was weird, wild and wonderful. Once I got use to Mike touching in that area ( for me to relax this was hard and breathing is very important!) the energy work began. I wasn't highly skeptic but I wasn't gullible either. I just opened my mind to the God given right to the healing of hands. I felt a slight pressure on the finger Mike was using on the front rib at the breast bone and in the back an inch lower close to the spine. This is the way I describe it: I was AS IF his finger was moving the rib bit by bit back into to place. At first when he places his fingers on the ribs (back & front) it feels as if he is pushing on a bad bruise with lots of pressure, not severe but - ouch dammit! Then it feels like when you have a headache and then you take some meds for it and how is slowly ebbs away till there is relief. This is the bit by bit thing and then the pain is almost gone from a 10 to a 1-2. Then he goes back over the same ribs and palpates them and only a slight soreness is residual due to the strain on the muscles for being subluxed for so long. The kicker is Mike is not pushing me back in!! He swears he is not, he says it is me. I say, What are you talking about, I am not doing anything! He says yes I am. I feel it is a symbiotic relationship. We both are doing it and taping into the great mystery of life. That electrical and energy force of life that has been so far shoved into the mystical array that science has discounted it all together. Since there is no doctor in western medicine that specializes in soft tissue and since are soft tissues are so fragile we need to be looking for more alternatives for this type of pain relief. At last, I must admit that the treatment did not last more that three days but to Mike's credit that is far longer than anything else and alot of the ribs have stayed in. I was very hard on my body at the conference and the bed was murder, so I think I need to see Mike again (the most wanted man in the US right now!!) when he visits LA!! Mike let me know - have car will travel! Also Mike any thing you want to add to this please do so. On a personal note, I am doing OK. I have had one crisis after another this year and now I am on the highest dose of anti-depressants I can go. I can tell it has stopped my emotions from overtaking me. The sad part is I do not feel as I use to. I kinda understand men now if this is what they are feeling and cannot relate to the crying and such. I had to put down my 14 year old dog and I cried but normally it would have sent me over the edge. I cried for a day. Who is to say what normal is? I know that I have lost some empathy for others and I am most logical to my approach to many things now. Is this a good thing for me - the jury is out but after my divorce is final, and many of these crises have been resolved I plan to cut back on the Effexor - XR (300mg per day) to find a happy medium. Well, my jumping in became a rant, not as many tangents as before I hope! I will not reply on list but you can e-mail if you have any questions.
