One a possitive note -Article in Daily Mail How the brain can change
With neural plasticity training- especially chronic pain.
I 've read the article it was Tuesday 13th Jan Heath pages,
A book has been written by Normon Doige? but very interesting article,plus the Dr himself has chronic pain and a pain specialist,so yes I am in widespread chronic pain with no let up,but wanted to try instead of talking about the horribleness of it maybe looking at another approach maybe helpful to use all.
I'm trying not to dwell on it,hard work but the more I do it eats away at my soul,so I'm back to listening to Jon Kabat Zinn and his audio book mindfulness for pain relief and trying the meditations again.But if you can access the brain article worth a look
Warm wishes
Wendy
It makes me laugh how news people think you can erase basic pathology with mindfulness or neural plasticity training. I get that when there is no medical solution all there is to do is manage and calm the mind from constantly freaking out but as far as I know nerves are irritated for a pathological reason! But thanks for sharing and I should read the article before I write! Lol...
Hi Boozybird,I am far from saying that there isn't a basic cause,neurological,nerve,damage to areas of the body,neither are Drs,and yes you could see it as a way out for Drs,but I know for sure from my pain specialist that I've known for 26 years and is head of the British pain society that if there was somthing magical out there to relieve all of us in chronic pain she and other specialists would be giving it out.Yes it is holy awful living with chronic pain and this was just a little possitive approach for us to look at,again it takes work from ourselves,all pain is real,but for me I'm trying to deal with the secondary suffering that comes along with it,the mental brain stuff that for me sends my brain into overload so I do want to find a calm place to be with the suffering.
Hope you find the article interesting
