Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Karyn I am convinced you are right with the stress bit. I avoid all stress, and if that means avoiding all appointments at the welfare office and losing a heap of cash, I am doing that. The last twice I went there to fight for my rights I ended up in hospital both times. I won't go back there and risk it again. It has been about 4 years now and it has cost me a lot of cash and freedom, but it keeps me out of hosp! Sadly, I just got the last bill for the ambulance for the last acute admission, another $50 I don't have. I rang them to tell them to never pick me up again cos the stress of worrying about paying for it is likely to put me back in hosp with another attack, but they say I have to write in. It is only $13 in a cab! Just ringing them has got me reaching for the pills... Someone defined Stress in a very real way a while ago, I am sure there will be several comical ones on line... along the lines of resisting the overwhelming desire to choke the daylights outa some mug who deserves it.. or something similar! >it just seems logical that if stress brought it on, then calmness and stress relief and reduction should, by the basis of some physics law, remove the exacerbation. I really believe this. For example, certain stresses can take me from fine to a 10 point scale of pain in zero to 60 flat, and have me in a fetal position crying for relief. That is a lot of power that I have given to that stressor. I am convinced that I have that same power and that same ability to channel that energy. I just need to figure out how to use psycho-kinetic energy to take me from a fetal position and 10 point scale of pain to a meditative state in 60 to zero, in reverse. > Karyn , RN > Founder / Executive Director > http://www.pancassociation.org > 1- / KarynWms@a... > PAI Home Office: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA>> > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
