Close Chronic Pain
I'm still dealing with whiplash spots from a rear end collision accident in 2001. I think I might have something like chronic myofascial pain but I have yet to figure this out with a doctor.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Very helpful for the headaches. They will put the tiny bones of yoru neck back in alignment and the headaches go away. Can be uncomfortable at times but I combine treatments with massage therapy to eliminate any discomfort.
- Heat Working / Worked
- Generally heat relaxes the muscles flaring up.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- This is always a good idea even if just to be in a healing space away from the pain.
- Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- A few years ago I tried this and it helped a little.
- TENS Working / Worked
- Sometimes my chiropractor will use this treatment to loosen the affected muscles. It kind of tricks them to relax.
Close Migraine Headaches
My muscles right underneath the base of my skull tend to cause migraines, especially around that time of month.
Treatments
Open Healthy Relationships
Happily married for almost 4 years. Been together for 9 with 5 years in a long-term situation.
Treatments
Open Healthy Sex
OMG, I love how the one "treatment" they have to check off is patience! Lol
Open Stress Management
I don't do well under stress. I can't really avoid it so I have to find ways to relax and breathe.
Treatments
- Music Working / Worked
- Meditative or zen compilations work really well.
- Patience Working / Worked
- Being impatient just makes things worse.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- When I do get up and move it takes the focus of my problems and re-energizes.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy dad died in a car accident in 2001. I was 19 at the time. This has been one event that has changed everything since then. It has gotten a little easier but I know I'll always miss him.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- It can take the edge off slightly.
- Getting Angry Working / Worked
- Oh I've gotten angry at times. It's hard to understand why things happen. I think anger can be quite normal.
- Helping Others Working / Worked
- Sometimes focusing on others needs can help. Just be sure you are getting the care and love you need too.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- For me I went back to school.
- Music Working / Worked
- Can be very powerful at provoking memories. Can be a good thing or a painful thing.
- Poetry Working / Worked
- I wrote one for the funeral and have written things since then.
- Remembering Working / Worked
- Oh yes. You must always remember the good times. If you don't allow yourself to remember things can get blocked up. It's okay if at first you can't. The freshness of it can be so severe and painful.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- It made my mom, sister, and I grow closer together.
- Talking Working / Worked
- It's always good to talk about how you feel.
- Time Working / Worked
- It's cliche but after a few years at least for me the sting isn't as strong. I still have moments where something random will trigger his memory and I lose it but things can get a little better with time.
