I woke this morning at 4am with a massive #migraine already in progress. Easily an 8 on the (relatively useless) pain scale. If this one had an aura, I slept through it. Ugh.

Got up and took some Tylenol. The pain has moved from acute severe to chronic annoying. Yes, Tylenol. Can't take NSAIDs due to #CKD. No Rx meds for the migraines as they don't occur often enough to meet the criteria. 🤷‍♀️

Fibromyalgia Treatment Using PEMF Therapy – A Research Review

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and emotional distress. Complementary and wellness therapies can be ideal for managing fibromyalgia related symptoms. Several studies show that Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) can reach its potential as a complementary tool in managing fibromyalgia and improving the quality of life for millions of fibro patient.

What is pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, why and how its used and cellular mechanisms.

Using anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids to relieve pain could increase the chances of developing chronic pain, according to researchers from McGill University and colleagues in Italy. Their research puts into question conventional practices used to alleviate pain. Normal recovery from a painful injury involves inflammation and blocking that inflammation with drugs could lead to harder-to-treat pain.

“For many decades it’s been standard medical practice to treat pain with anti-inflammatory drugs. But we found that this short-term fix could lead to longer-term problems,” says Jeffrey Mogil, a Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University and E. P. Taylor Chair in Pain Studies.

Please consider first using natural and effective treatments for pain, such as acupuncture, so the development of chronic pain can be prevented.

jaw dropping stuff, long before any mention of the topic in the title.

the spine stuff :O

the anxiety stuff :O

startlingly elucidating insights.
perspective shifting stuff. :)

the #autonomicnervoussystem became #disregulated
so it turns out
#anxiety #bipolar #depression #schizophrenia
are all #inflamatoryprocesses.

it's inflamatory.
it is #notpsychelogical.

jaw dropped yet? :)

#fascinating #perspective to entertain.

ther's far more in there than just that. well worth a watch. well worth paying attention to.

e.g.:

20,000,000 information bits in the subconscious, 40 information bits in the conscious.

:O why "mind over matter" and "willpower" struggles.

ps, [i add] the wim hof method, and cannabinoids, and natural sourced vitamins, and joyous laughter and relaxation, seem wise to deploy every day. :)

pps, that was also kinda astonishing (but should be already fully known and aknowledged), how, physicians/doctors/surgeons/etc dont get educated about diet in medical school.
... and we've been flipping out that they dont get educated about the endo-cannabinoid system (the main regulatory system of all the body's regulatory systems, with more receptors than any other system)!? they've far deeper problems yet. corporate capture, inducting "profitable" lies and lies of ommission.
