Fibromyalgia and NEW.

[Korpo]

Okay, I surely don't have the "tender points", and that seems to be the strongest indication for it that makes it different from other things.

Energy work can be a great help for putting body systems back into equilibrium. It removes stresses from the body, therefore unstressing the central nervous system bit by bit, therefore allowing it to re-reach homeostasis. But that is not easy or quick. But for example my energy work is big in removing body-stored stress, and may be of help for any stress-related syndrome, or syndromes worsened by stress.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, it helped me understand so much better!

Tempest suffers from Fibromyalgia and some time ago she wrote something about how she handles it. I'll see if I can find her post.

Ah, thank you! I'm always looking for new ways to manage it. You can only take just so many pain relievers.

In my case, the problem with pain relievers is the rebound pain, and I can see how that can be a factor in fibromyalgia. (Guys, this might bore you) When I get my period I take a lot of NSAIds (ibuprofen mostly) and when the cramps are over, I get a rebound headache the next day. This always happens, and I used to think the headache was hormonal until the Dr. told me to try to not take it the last day, (when the pain is not so bad)- then the headache moved to that day (and mixed with cramps, somehow diluting it's impact- kind of like smashing your foot to forget the headache, lol. ). I have no solution to this problem, just some empathy.

Thanx for all the replies. There is like a chain of effects from something
that can't be identified what causes it. She just got it one day being 19
working as a nurse. One day not there, the next day there. This evil has
to be grabbed by it's very roots.

If NEW can be used for healing, then where is the limitation to healing,
and if there is any. Thinking of placebo. Water and sugar cures people.

Hello Triot,

Are the doctors certain she does not have something else like Lupus? They are so intertwined, it is very hard to tell them apart. The one major difference is photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight and florescent lighting) with Lupus and not Fibromyalgia. Lupus also just shows up seemingly out of the blue between the ages of 18-25.

where is the limitation to healing, and if there is any

Personally, I don’t think there is a limit to healing. I have heard accounts of people visualizing tumors away. I have my own example of how, through visualization and meditation, diseases can be removed from the body. I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 22. I was 31 when I got rid of it with visualizations. It only took me 3 months. It’s been 2 years now without a flair-up, and the doctors have removed the diagnosis from my medical records.

I don’t know how to get my point across to you any better than this. If I had know then the things I know now, I would not have had to spend so many years of my life just wishing I could go to sleep and not wake up because the pain was so bad. I lost 8 years. That’s a long time.

I think it is wonderful of you to be so supportive of your friend. Keep doing that. You have no idea how important it is to have support from others when your body will not cooperate with your mind.

If you can get your friend to start doing the energy work on her own, it will be much more effective for her.

The two of you are in my thoughts,
Mishell

An idea shapes, it becomes a habit, a limitation is set.

NEW reminds me of quantum healing. Looks similar.

So I'm ill, and the reason is that I made a commitment to
being ill. Being sick was an idea. Or the other way around.

Iv'e been browsing a chatforum on fibromyalgia, and there
is a competition on who has had the worst day. She pointed
it out. One jumps in after another and tops it with "well, yours
wasn't as bad as mine". Not saying it's a cause, but could be
adding fuel to the fire.

Mishell, her doc has given her up with basicly the message
"learn to live with it". Need to dig deeper into what these
medical terms means. Alot of greek and latin.

I know my guides are here now and then. See the flashes.
It has worked before typing requests on the computer screen
hoping they read the requests from behind my back in the RTZ.
Sometimes I feel one of them touching me. To the end I'll go
to the extreme and demand they help out. One day she'll wake
up and like magic it's gone.

So I'll request my guides, both of them now, to help me out and
it's the only thing I'll ever request. Pull me in any direction or lead
me to any book. You've done it before. Gracias.

Yeah, that's pretty much what conventional medicine has to say about FMS at this point in time. Which, believe it or not, is a bit better than what they used to say, which was, "You're imagining it."

I've been working with NEW for a while. I'm not sure just how to heal my FMS (the fatigue component has been driving me insane for a while now), but I'm definitely going to give it a go.

I've also been investigating "cell memory" and wondering if it's related to some sort of negative past life memory or experience (I'm not a huge believer in that, but the worst that can happen with that is that it won't work, so I figure it's worth at least looking into).

I'd also like to seriously endorse brainwave entrainment. I've found that a daily session of gamma waves and then a longer session of sub-delta does absolute wonders for the chronic pain. And brainwave entrainment is based not in metaphysics but in hard science, just for the record.

Could you elaborate on that some more please?

[ButterflyWoman]

The software I use is from Transparent Corporation, which is run by an absolutely lovely guy named Adam. I mostly use the software called MindStereo because it lets you use any music you want as a carrier, but I also have Neuro-Programmer.

The software comes with a number of pre-made sessions, and I mostly use those, as I'm really pretty mystified about the science behind the frequencies and so forth. I read a fair bit about the research, but actually creating it in a session is a bit beyond me.

I do a gamma wave session every day, usually in the morning, as it puts me in a good mood (gamma waves are associated with certain kinds of "elevated" thinking, such as meditation on love for the world). At some point during the day, I do one or more sub-delta sessions, which are apparently good for the limbic system (and can help conditions related to malfunction there, such as some anxiety and trauma disorders; FMS appears to be related).

For me, it's easy, as my work has me at the computer for most of the day. I just put on the headphones and listen to music and get my daily brainwave doses and I quite literally do feel physically better for it.

I also use alpha sessions fairly regularly for stress management and relaxation, and to help me induce a nice, light meditative state. I suppose the anti-stress measures are also helpful in the management of the disorder. (And I recently learned when I was in the hospital that my blood pressure goes VERY high when I'm in pain, so less pain and less stress must be better for me all around ).
