- I finally figured it out! On and off for the last several years I have had the weirdest dreams. They are not really nightmares, but just extremely vivid and nonsensical, even for dreams. I hate them. I look to my dreams for inspiration and...
- I commented on a health article at the New York Times and someone mentioned this guy:http://www.painpoints.com/about/biographies/gerwin.htmlHe has written a lot about MPS. Maybe I should tell my doctor about him.
- That is what it feels like. I have taken a definite turn for the worse. It started a couple of weeks ago. Much much more achiness. I had my pain killer dosage upped, which was good, because it kept on getting worse. Thursday I did maybe two and...
- I am trying one. Have a new pain management doc. She really listens. I am so unused to it, I almost don't know what to tell her. She asked me I wanted to try a tens unit and I said yes, and today UPS showed up at my door with one. I had just...
- I just heard about this. This video is the only one I found that actually shows what is involved. The other ones just talk at you.http://youtu.be/-RVOzfqHOBgI saw in an ad that a local practitioner does this. He calls it FAKTR myofascial release....
- of this blog. Well, trigger points did at least.http://www.dailystrength.org/health_blogs/dr-orrange/article/10-things-we-know-about-what-causes-fibromyalgiaThe article is about fibromyalgia. At the end it says:"10. Hot spots. Fibromyalgia...
- That is what I realized I was doing. I had pain where the ribs attach to the breastbone. I and my massage therapist were massaging there. But then I went back to the Davies book and saw that it was a trigger point in my pecs over by my armpit that...
- I got this in an email from a doctor who practices a special therapy for MPS in Philadelphia:"Myofascial pain: This type of pain is muscle pain related to early spinal nerve involvement or nerve irritation from degenerative spine disease. This...
- http://www.articlesbase.com/diseases-and-conditions-articles/chronic-myofascial-pain-fibromyalgia-often-together-but-miles-apart-532524.htmlAnd it seems that the name Chronic Myofascial Pain is gaining use instead of MPS. I linked this on my...
- So I have had some ups and downs lately. This is the latest chapter. Last Saturday I went to a stargazing party. It was great. I learned how to identify some constellations and we sat around a fire and sang. But, oooh, the effect on my neck...
- I didn't title this The Book Works Again because I bet you guys are tired of that. I swear I don't get a kickback from thE publishers.So I was going through the Clair Davies Book again and i thought I'd look at the butt and back chapter again. So...
- I went and got one. The newspapers made it seem that people were flooding emergency rooms with the flu right now and it was all over. Now I feel like crap. My pain is worse, especially in problem areas and the dizziness, which has returned lately...
- So I was fussing over this old bookcase, removing paint spots and recoloring scratches, when I got this ache in my thumb. I massaged it and it got worse. Then it spread to my wrist--horrible sharp pain. I worried. What kind of pain killers can...
- That is how my MPS makes me feel sometime, like right now. Like someone knocked me to the ground and gave me a few kicks. Fortunately I have never been beat up like this, so who knows. That may feel a lot worse.I am in Germany now, where I flew...
- When last seen in these parts I had gotten a little too brutal with my new trigger point roller and hurt a muscle in my rib. It wasn't bad and has now healed. So I am back to my usual struggle to straighten out my body and deactivate trigger...
