Cold

It’s cold out. It’s not as cold inside but that is probably because I have my heating turned up to a ridiculous level. It’s my little present to myself.

I also managed to spend $500 today on a maintenance check on my car. It surprised me a bit as I guess I was assuming it was covered in the warranty. But it wasn’t. So I forked out the bucks. I may be a sucker. I don’t know.

I have wasted tons of time in the last few weeks watching episodes of QI on YouTube in 10 minutes chunks. I’m at the last few available episodes. It’s felt like a real waste in many ways as I should be planning my syllabus and if I’ve going to be sitting at the computer, I should be getting that down. But instead I am watching QI and playing a stupid game online. Alas! It’s no longer Mah Jongg because the website has changed the pictures on the tiles and I don’t like the new ones. That, my friends, is how hardcore I am.

I’ve gone to see a chiropractor a few times (on recommendation of my previous massage therapist). Apparently my hip was injured in the car accident. That seems better but he’s now trying to help my fibromyalgia. He uses a microcurrent which I don’t completely understand but which I’m willing to give a go for a few times.

Just to keep you from worrying about what you might need to skim through, I am not going to post anything about the Christmas holiday. I am also not going to post anything about how I’m going to use the New Year as a chance to get myself together finally. Why bother either of us with that?

Down syndrome on the upswing

FEATURED SEARCH: chromosome disorders

Prepare for a growing focus on caring for adults with Down syndrome, as the implications of the following study strike a chord with researchers. A cross-sectional study of 10 live-birth registries in the US shows that the incidence of Down syndrome is increasing for a number of reasons (predominantly among non-Hispanic whites). Time for new evidence-based information on the care of heart problems and quality of life issues for adults living with Down syndrome, the authors say.

RESULT: Prevalence of Down Syndrome Among Children and Adolescents in 10 Regions of the United States

Pediatrics | Dec 1, 2009

A study from the UK reaches a similar conclusion: Despite widespread screening, the incidence of Down syndrome is increasing, partly for demographic reasons. “Even with future improvements in screening,” the authors predict, “a large numberof births with Down’s syndrome are still likely, and thatmonitoring of the numbers of babies born with Down’s syndromeis essential to ensure adequate provision for their needs.”

At the onset of cortical spreading depression, blood rushing in after the induction of cerebral ischemia accelerates ischemic damage, probably by increasing the hypoxic burden to the brain, according to this report of a study on mice. (But what does it have to do with cat scratch disease?)

SEARCH TIP: Abbreviations and irrelevant results

This person’s original search generated a bevy of irrelevant results for a simple reason: SearchMedica translated cat-scratch disease to an acronym (CSD) and then returned results for an alternate definition of the acronym, cortical spreading depression.

You can avoid this problem by putting the term in quotation marks. That’s what we did in the search box immediately above, which produces no irrelevant results.

Fibromyalgia Info.

I’ve been doing some reading and internet surfing and discovered a few things I didn’t know about Fibromyalgia, which are very interesting.  It would seem the current thinking is now that Fibro is caused by trauma to the Central Nervous System (CNS) which could be for example a knock on the head, a neck injury, a virus or severe stress.  Now that there are much more precise imaging techniques (qEEG, fMRI, PET scans etc) for looking at the brain they have found abnormalities there in people with Fibro. There is a technique called brain mapping where a qEEG(quantitative Electroencaphalogram) is used to map abnormal activity in the brain, this information is then used to apply the most appropriate treatments.

Here are some links to what I found if you’re interested-

The Ugly Side of Karma

Do you know the feeling when some thought, usually a guilty and  bad one,  creeps into your mind but you’re not ready to accept it yet?  It flits in and out and by the time you are ready to accept the thought, grab it,  and call it your own, you’ve pretty much learned the lesson you needed to learn.  The lesson may be learned at that very second, but for me, it’s usually not owned until it has been written and most probably read.

Our whole Christmas vacation in Aruba was first discussed  over a year and a half ago. Times were tough, I had been very sick with numerous illnesses, one after another, for over a year and a half.  Our marriage had been in trouble the whole summer.  My husband and I were miserable both together and alone and I felt betrayed. The key factor that used to hold us together was trust, but I felt that trust was broken. Verbally. At that time,  I remember vividly asking my mother “if this all works out and we can make it through together, do you mind if the four of us go away together over Christmas break?” Knowing what we all were going through, and the fact that the children were very upset,  she reassured me that it would be fine: “You definitely deserve it! “

That was then, a year ago. After getting through the summer and my husband and I working our problems out, again, I asked my mother if it was still ok. “Yes, she said, definitely.”  What I had forgotten to do and this was totally my mistake was share these plans with my sister which was my fault. We talked and I apologized and she was gracious.

Going to Aruba had been a yearly discussion since my seventeen year old son had been invited a multitude of times to stay with his best friend at his best friend’s grandmother’s house in Aruba. Huge house. Ok, mansion. We  had never seen it but all of my son’s other friends had been there with their families.   Tim was not able to go several times because we all had plans and, I didn’t want Tim to be away without us at Christmas.  It just never felt right.

The tradition of Christmas with a Jewish family is an unusual one. My parents raised us with no religion, other than culturally Jewish, but we celebrated Christmas.   When I was very small I remember having a Christmas tree, ornaments;  Santa Claus, reindeer, the stuff that dreams are made of.  The only real tradition in our family was that we spent it together. It wasn’t easy all the time. People would fight, or act immature, gift-giving and receiving became an angry or sullen event at times, my sister would think we gave too much or not enough but the 4  cousins were together and that, at the time, seemed enough.

It seemed to be enough until 8 years ago when  6  days after Christmas on New Year’s Eve, my dad passed away. It was also the day before my parent’s wedding anniversary on New Year’s Day.    After that, nothing was the same, ever.   Christmas for me, and probably  others was absolutely depressing and horrible.  I wanted to move Christmas to my house but apparently there was no leg room for any other alternative.  In my which, in my estimation that was a mistake.

Once my sister and her children went on a cruise paid by our mother but in the end, my mother and brother in law decided not to go. My family stayed behind to be with our mom on Christmas, we didn’t want her to be alone. Surprisingly,  she was furious at our decision.  It was another one of the countless, “we want to be thoughtful and be with you actions” that always seems to blow up in my face and I become the evil one. Part of my life back then. Part of my life when I accepted it. Not anymore. It was a pattern and I tried to crush it with every bone in my body. Progress.

The Fessler, then Fessler-Bernsein, then Fessler-Friedmann  Christmas tradition in our family,  is that we have store-bought, refrigerated cinnamon rolls that come in a tube with  a container of vanilla icing; the best part.  This has been a tradition since my sister and I were children and we finally passed down the tradition of icing the cinnamon buns down to our children many years ago. We also had scrambled eggs and bacon, hard rolls that now have turned to bagels and presents; too many presents or too few, name in a hat, no way. Just for the children? My sister and I were jealous, after all, we were children too. But not having the sound of the Christmas bell ringing in the holiday by my father was key. One can’t replicate a tradition if a big part of the tradition is not alive anymore. But so it went….until this year.

This brings us to the present when we were scheduling our flights, the four of us, to go to Aruba. The grumbling started gaining momentum and soon my mother was hysterical trying to make us cancel it at the last moment and :guilting” us beyond belief. It wasn’t fair to anyone but when feelings are hurt, fairness flies quickly out the window along with the early morning singing dove.

So, we are here in Aruba, having a lovely time, entitled to have a good time after my health problems, our marital problems and now my husband’s unemployment status.  We had paid for the trips many months ago and we decided we did not want to cancel; it had already been paid for.  Our son, Tim,  is staying with his friend Aaron in his grandmother’s mansion and Jillian, Dan and I are staying at the Marriott and enjoying ourselves immensely.  The sun is hot, the breeze is beautiful and the water, my most beloved element, is light blue and sparking. Everything is great here. Except it isn’t.

I miss Tim. I actually am a little upset, sic, hurt, that Tim wants nothing to do with us.  Kind of like my mom probably feels about me.  These are the lessons we are  born to learn the hard way.Tim is probably doing all sorts of things I probably don’t want to know about living in the Bachelor Pad with Aaron, aka “the pool house.”   He stopped by unannounced once with his friend to say hello because his friend’s dad gave them a mini-lecture on how it would be nice to see your family on Christmas Day.

Ouch. Kind of like my mom probably feels about my family and I.   These are the lessons we are  born to learn the hard way. What is happening to me is what happened to my mother, albeit with her blessing. I do mind that my son is acting invisible, a little arrogant, and very much cool and distant. The irony is not lost on me. His age, 17, is not lost on me  We gave him permission to go and to have fun, not fully thinking that he would,  to the extent of not even sending an e-mail or picking up the local phone to say hello.  It burns and it stings and I feel like a complete idiot. What did I THINK would happen? Well, actually, not this.

We try to teach our children good lessons, life lessons. What have we taught our son about this trip? Yes, we felt he was owed this vacation, yes, my mother said we should go, yes, we love it here in all it’s beauty…….but the truth of the matter is at this moment, I feel like I want to cry. I want to cry as my disappointment as a mom and begrudgingly as a daughter who now feels just the tiniest of guilt.

The Christmas tradition in our family, which is the most traditional thing we do, is that we have store-bought, refrigerated cinnamon rolls that come in a tube. This has been a tradition since my sister and I were children and we have passed down the tradition now to our children who now frost the cinanmon buns.  It really isn’t anything much, the store buns are the same every year, every year we fight about how crispy the bacon should be or how many presents we should buy. But, we’re together and while I love being on vacation, anyplace warm, watching the four cousin  battling over which cinnamon bun to ice and how much wouldn’t be so very bad. We learn from these experiences.  Whatever goes around, comes around, the very definition of karma.

I feel like a failure

I did not want to admit this to myself or anyone else…but I am seriously sick

I am humongously swollen from head to toe. I feel sick and feverish. I feel like I weigh a bazillion pounds. Any strength I gained after the IVIg is gone and I’m worse off than before it. My head hurts. My guts hurt. My skin is creepy all over. The worst part is shortness of breath. Every little movement starts me gasping All my joints hurt. All my muscles hurt. Even with my o2 cranked up to 4, I still feel like I am suffocating.

I have no clue what is wrong. I need to call the doc. Tonight is the last straw. I am not coping well.

Like I said, I feel like a failure….as if it’s my fault that I am not better. While listening to scripture studies on BYU TV, something made me aware of the hopelessness about my health. I realized I was holding my muscles more rigid than I ought to. The more it hurts to breathe, the more I try to avoid it. I was unconsciously sort of holding my breath. That surely can’t be helping things.

IVIg was going to be what made me better. I’m feeling very discouraged right now.

Fibromyalgia? Can Chiropractic Help?

Background: Let’s back up a step.  Patients with “fibromyalgia” may have also heard the following diagnoses from doctors when describing their pain as their condition worsened:

• its your age
• its in your head
• its genetic
• or a blanket statement such as “you are a woman/man/tall/short/fat/skinny/allergic/hypochondriac/sensitive to weather ” etc. etc.

These are statements that our health care providers might throw out when they don’t know what to do.  For fibromyalgia there is still no cure.

Derivation: from fibro-, fibrous tissue, Gk. myo-, muscle, Gk. algos-, pain, meaning muscle  and connective tissue pain i.e. ligaments and tendons (the things that hold together bones and attach muscle to bone).  We would expect to feel it if we were lumberjacks, or ditch diggers… until our bodies adapted to it.  And there’s the key – our body’s are supposed to adapt to use, even lack of use.  But some don’t and we have pain.

Chronic Pain – NOT!: We don’t accept that condition in our office.  There has to be a reason for patients to suffer.  I have jackhammer operators that do not have fibromyalgia and inactive patients that do have it.  It does not add up.

Secondary conditions: There is a long list of conditions that have been connected with fibromyalgia including joint stiffness, sleep disturbance, even depression.  Now there is a “fibromyalgia syndrome” which includes these conditions added to the pain.

Our approach Part A: Firstly, I discount the diagnosis. I don’t care what the doctor’s have said, patients should not suffer an incurable condition expecting a lifetime of pain and its sequaelae:

• because they hurt, they don’t move as much
• because they hurt, they get depressed
• because they hurt, they get fat
• because they hurt, and don’t move, and get fat, they don’t sleep as wel
• or have normal bowel function
• or have side effects from pain medication
• or a host of other things that would happen to ANY of us if we hurt, did not move as much, took meds, gained weight and got depressed.

Our approach Part B:  Chiropractic care, nutrition, movement and hope.  Patients get better and the condition goes away. Chiropractic 101 still works and the body heals.

Mind Over Matter - Health, Thinking Positively & the Mind-Body Connection! - Ashley Boynes, Community Development Director, WPA Chapter

When dealing with chronic illness like arthritis, especially when you are in pain, it can be hard to maintain a positive attitude. Sometimes, with certain diagnoses, it may seem impossible to find hope or remain optimistic. However, as we’ve mentioned in past blogs, “Food For Thought: The Power of Positive Thinking”, and “ “Turning Negatives Into Positives”, thinking positively, even in a negative situation, can not only make you feel better emotionally, but can also benefit your physical health!

In fact, there have been studies that show that positive people are more healthy than negative people, and there have also been studies that supposedly prove that the “mind over matter” theory truly exists. Can our thoughts heal?

No doctor will write you a prescription for a dose of laughter or a bottle of smiles, but, most will recommend practicing an overall lifestyle of wellness — and this includes thinking positively, and doing things that make you happy — especially since depression is often a comorbidity with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and/or fibromyalgia. In some cases, the cause is physiological – some autoimmune diseases cause an imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain; in other cases, the cause is emotional – patients may feel down and depressed about their diseases. (This is why we think that having support from loved ones — whether in person or via an online community, is so important!)

It may sound like baloney to some of you. I know when I am having a “bad” day, that it is easy to scoff at people who tell me to “stay positive” and “keep smiling” — I tell you, it’s easier said than done! That being said, I do know that there is, however, validity in their points. After all, no one wants to be around a Debbie Downer all the time, and being happy does make you feel so much better…if not physically, than at least emotionally and spiritually! Today I woke up feeling badly - it seemed that all of my physical ails were bothering me at once. I had a can’t-face-the-world, “how can I keep living like this”, BUMMER kind of morning. However, as I sipped my tea, dog snoring at my feet, birds chirping in the other room, doing work I love, in a beautiful home in all of it’s holiday bliss, knowing that I have a wonderful support system of friends, family, and loved ones – I felt supremely blessed, health issues aside. In fact, reveling in all that was GOOD, thinking about the many wonderful things and people in my life, doing a job that I love that at times helps others, made my health issues a NON-issue. Sometimes, all it takes is to look at things from a different perspective! Instead of moping around, dwelling on your sickness and wondering “why me”, take a step back and wonder, why NOT you? Bad things happen to all of us. You can handle it!

The good news is, there are many medical treatment options out there that you can try, whether traditional or naturopathic. There is a whole world of nutritious food, and helpful websites, and positive people to help you keep pushing on! They say that you can heal yourself with your thoughts, so why not give it a try?

You may be wondering who “they” are. Here are just a few examples that I’d like to share  – before I begin, I’m not saying that a positive attitude will “cure” you. Being optimistic, in almost all cases, is not going to allow you to give up your meds or never set foot in a doctor’s office again, but, it will make you happier in general, which could potentially lead to better health, and will definitely lead to a better overall outlook. Besides, they say that positivity and happy thoughts are good for the human collective conscience as a whole. And isn’t THAT a worthy goal?

Here’s who “they” are…

* Louise Hay - Louise Hay, author of “You Can Heal Your Life” and “You Can Heal Your Body”, among many other books, is one of the pioneers of the mind-body link, and claims that she healed her cancer through the power of positive thought and “thinking it away.” Through “affirmations”, she convinced herself that she was not sick…and she, somehow, was cured! In fact, she believes that there are MENTAL causes for PHYSICAL ailments. Regardless of what you believe, her story is an inspirational one!

* Deepak Chopra - Deepak Chopra encourages overall well-being through physical and emotional wellness, spiritual health, and guided meditation. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of mind-body healing, and has held world leaders and international celebrities among his clientele. He has authored more than 55 books and believes that we hold the key to our own well-being. He is certified as a traditional MD but is more engaged in “alternative” medical practices. He encourages a clean lifestyle in all ways and is known for his theories on shared human consciousness and positive thinking starting with one’s self.

* Marilyn Mandala Schlitz - Marilyn Sclitz, PhD, is at the forefront of Noetic Science, a new field that has been brought to light in the book, the Da Vinci Code. Marilyn, who heads up IONS, has “pioneered clinical and field-based research in the area of human transformation and healing.” She has authored books on “mind-body medicine” and has helped to perform scientific experiments on healing and is bridging the gap between medicine and spirituality. Schlitz is “a leader in the area of consciousness research. She has conducted basic science research on the powers of the mind, including remote viewing, mind over matter, and distant intention and healing.  She has engaged in clinical studies of  consciousness healing and is currently completing a National Institutes of Health (NIH, part of the Department of Health) sponsored study looking at the power of compassionate intention on wound healing in woman undergoing reconstructive surgery.”

Whether you “believe” any of this or not, it is compelling information to take a look at! It doesn’t matter what religion, faith, or creed you practice, if any….it is about using your mind and soul to aid in healing your body. We are not encouraging or pushing any viewpoint, but just putting it out there…

I look at it this way — it couldn’t hurt! With the holidays approaching, there is no better time to think positive and to get in the “jolly” spirit! Why not start today with leading your health into a positive direction? I’m going to!

Let me know your thoughts – how does being positive/optimistic help you? Have you ever “healed” an ailment through thoughts or know anyone for whom these types of things have worked? I know people who have been healed in a near-fatal situation by an Indian stone, people who have willed cancer to leave their system, and (this is just in my case, not preaching to anyone!) have seen prayer work wonders. I know from personal experience that trying to be happy in light of it all is the best weapon against disease! After all, being negative and dwelling on it isn’t going to help matters much – so making a conscious effort to stay optimistic, hopeful, and positive cannot  hurt! It can only help. Why not give it a try? You can think yourself healthy!

Thanks for reading, and be well! And please, stay tuned for my next entry in Ashley’s Journey to Wellness.

Therapeutic Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy for Pain Management

             The Non-Pharmacological Therapy for Chronic Pain

• Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can provide proven pain relief, usually within 6-8 treatment sessions.
• This non-invasive procedure, which also is called advanced cold laser therapy, utilizes the latest technology and is FDA-approved for the treatment of many types of chronic and acute pain, including back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,  and sports injuries to name a few.
• In many cases, pain and inflammation are improved after the very first treatment.
• Light energy from low level lasers penetrates deep into musculoskeletal tissue (e.g., muscles, joints, bones) to:

 1. Relieve pain

2. Reduce swelling and inflammation

3. Promote tissue repair and healing

4. Improve blood supply (circulation)

5. Stimulate the immune system

Happy Holidays! No Batteries Needed

Great blog from Egoscue Santa Monica about getting away from technology and getting your body back to functioning properly. These are some great parts:

No Batteries Required

Technology can be a wonderful thing. Advances allow us to save time & energy while increasing conveniences in every-day life. We’re able to share emails like this at the click of a button. With that said, however, it is important to remember that there are many things in life that technologies cannot replace.

…

Your body has basic requirements for maintaining health and eliminating pain. Movement is one of those requirements. (Think “Move it or lose it”).
