How I cured of fibromyalgia
Copyright (c) 2008 Rebecca Hanson
Have you ever met a dragon with seven heads? Killer it is almost impossible, because once you cut one head two more grow in its place! I know first hand because I fought with the dragon during 20 years until I found the flaw in his armor and pierced his heart, once and for all.
Abonde Misdiagnosis
As many patients fibromyalgia, I was diagnosed for 15 years. Maybe it's because the state did not issue specific or unique or because it has only recently (1990) was recognized as "legitimate" disease. Until 1982, fibromyalgia was even not an entry in physicians' clinical standard reference work, the Merck Manual. Over the years my doctors labeled as my symptoms: chronic back pain (lower, middle and upper), frozen shoulder, left (two years), frozen right shoulder (a year and a half), fasciitis plantar, sleep disorders, restless legs syndromeyou get the picture. Finally, in 1997, I received the label "fibromyalgia" and said that the only treatment was cortisone injections in each muscle where the pain was unbearable.
"Damn!" I thought: "It many needles! "Not wanting to become a doctor voodoo doll, I never returned to that doctor. Instead I turned to approaches holistic. I tried everything imaginable to "manage" my pain, excruciating muscle massage deep, a strict diet, herbs … I even tried a putrid brew concocted by a doctor of Chinese medicine.
Admitting defeat
After suffering for seven years under the belief that I can affect futile my own healing, I gave up. Admitting defeat, I found a new doctor and asked for help. His theory was that fibrosis is a disease linked to depression. So with a nonsteroidal medication for pain, He prescribed an anti-depressant and a sleeping pill. These seemed to take the edge off the pain for some time.
I was "managing" my bad, fairly well until 2005 when I was overwhelmed by the trigeminal neuralgia. excruciating pain exploded on the right side of my faceencompassing jaw, cheekbone and temple and behind my ear. It was debilitating! I could do nothing but lie as still as possible with ice packs. Aspirin codeine begins to feel pain. I thought it might be a tooth, but the radiograph reveals nothing the dentist to treat. I was sent to a neurologist who is rudely told me: "You'd better hope he is because tooth it's not worth cracking your head open to solve this problem. "The trigeminal nerve does not originate in the spine, but the base of the brain!
Gadzi! I was a mess! So my family doctor prescribed an anticonvulsant medication in the hope that may block the perception of pain. As I left his office, he said (and not off-the-cuff), "It could also help fibromyalgia."
A month later, I was subjected to a root canal that has finally allowed the trigeminal neuralgia, but I stayed on the drug anticonvulsant because it takes another "edge" off of fibromyalgia.
At the same time everything was happening, I was the execution of two companies, tele-class and the Law of Attraction Training Center. I was happy to turn every aspect of my life and around the experience of success and joy in everything I didexcept THIS. I thought I just had to accept that "the way it is."
I was struck down and felt there was just nothing else I could do about it. Of course, my body continues to deteriorate under the constant pain.
Body Mind Connection /
My company has started to suffer too, and I decided to hire a business coach. Consumption form, under the heading of Health, I wrote: "Ok, I was not going to solve this problem, but if it manifests itself as dramatically as it has, this week, so I will not ignore. I was thrown flat on my back with a muscle spasm around my whole chest. The spasm was continued for four days. "My coach responded, "You have pushed very hard on yourself. Nothing wrong with that, except your body is telling you that something is wrong. Therefore, a part of your trip is to learn to flow with ease and grace. "
Hmmm, he had a point, but I did not address this interminable, impossible challenge for health! Nevertheless, I went to my coach and asked for a solution.
A few days later, I read and meditatingwell, I was sort of reading and meditating was difficult to stay focused and my eyes were just looking at the letters in the book, when these two sentences jumped from the page in my heart: "If your business is out of sight, is a reflection your thinking is faulty. If your body is broken, it's a reflection that your emotions are out of use. "How to use your twelve gifts from God, by William Warch
I am a very orderly personmy house is in order, my office is generally clean and tidy, my bills paidI'm are all very responsible and my affairs are in order. But my body was definitely out order and I had no idea what emotion was the cause of this, I lived with it for 20 years. Whatever the cause, it was deeply buried.
Event Definition
At this point, I decided to cooperate with my coach and extremely painful memories surface! I was so disappointedmore Disappointed that was really angry against my body let me down when I had to get Matthew back in the custody of social services! WOW
In 1980, my husband and I adopted a baby who was abandoned at birth because she "was not perfect." Its natural parents are not bonds, love or take care of him because he had Down syndrome. My husband was an obstetrician and when he learned that the child has been abandoned, it was quite agitated. Our fourth child, Sarah, has Down syndrome and she was such a joy for us that is rather disturbing to imagine this little boy with no family. Thus, we asked Matthew and adopted at birth. What we not realize at the time was that Matthew was also autistic. The combination of DS and severe mental retardation and autism package was a horrible, and in seven years, I was totally burned.
Then I felt angry example to my body. When I give my word or make a commitment that I keep. I am a person of integrity. To give my body as he has just not in my realm of possibility. But he and I carried this anger in my body for 20 years!
Letting Go
NO WONDER I was wrong! And my doctor was right! If fibromyalgia is caused by depression and depression is "anger turned inward" as I learned in the training of nurses, so I was really depressed!
I Let It Go! Once I've "seen" the root emotionangerI could understand why my body was screaming in pain. And I let go. Just like that. Right now, I made my decision to let him go, he left. I knew it. A few days later I started slowly wean myself drugs. I'm not a martyr, and if I feel pain, I would be back on drugs, but I'm not. I am free of pain, gain strength, reprogramming my thinking and adding activities back in my life. This week, I started two classes at the local recreational Centera exercise fitness classes and fitness fresh water. It's a miracle!
Now I do not pretend to know what is the root of all cases of fibromyalgia. But I would not be surprised if a long or emotion is blocked surface for most patients. My hope and my prayer to share my story is that it will revive hope in your heart, and faith to believe in a miracle for you or someone you love.
