    • About Me

      firstly i'm happily married with children, two girls who are twins , they are coming up 2, i have a son who is 12. forestry is my proffession. i'm an ex forestry contractor, bushman, and adrenilin junkie. i joined this community to learn or understand how maybe to deal with chronic pain and illness. My passions are, lol, were sports and hunting, i now enjoy fishing as it is something i can do on a good day without turning it into missery, mostly, sometimes!! I also feel like i contribute something usefull to the family as well. i love golf but i donot play any more. i am a man of the land, i think i would go mad if i lived in town. i hate doctors who push pills. i'm into alternative choices when it comes to my health, i believe in regular body maintainence. but in saying that i have abused my body over the years. i like pushing boundaries.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      i suffer chronic pain after a cervical spine injury .i had a fight with a big tree, it picked me up and threw me on my head. i didn't break anything thank god i think. any wayb that was 15 december 2003. i had a cat sacan xray 3 months off with weekly massages, i went back to work as i had business debt to deal with. for two and a half years i tried to live a normal life, lol, what a joke. to much vomitting, shitting, cramping,headaches now i manage a lifestyle to manage my pain and illness.

      Treatments

      Marijuana Working / Worked
      helps with sleeping and nausia. it also helps to demotivate me, as i always overdo things.
      Massage Working / Worked
      i have great temporary relief with massages, took away the headaches and nausia, short term, way better than drugs or medication. lol try and get your dr to believe that.
    • Close Depression

      i have been in and out of depression since a child. i have major ups and then i crash. chronic pain has been my latest downer but i feel i hit bottom now i go up.

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      i have no idea whether it works or not.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      a real big tree that i cut down paid me back by throwing me in the air and i landed on my head neck. i hve had to give up work as the pain and headaches, i was violently ill it was every day 24/7 7 days a week. i was going insane. i now manage the amount and level of intensity most of the time by rest and relaxation, lying down, wearing a neck brace, massages.

      Treatments

      Aspirin Not Working
      not a cure.
      Magnesium Working / Worked
      had success with this and also controling potassium levels, as that increases tensiohn and anxiety
      Massage Working / Worked
      wonderful, great way to relaxthe muscles.
