Convincing my brain!

[Chickens44]

So at the moment I’m trying to tell my brain 🧠 that all this work going on with my nerves is not the enemy, and it doesn’t need to think that it’s bad and to fight it causing me all this pain! They say mind over matter, but my mind is working overtime in the pain receptor factory at the moment! 🤕

Hang on in there.I had to remind myself nerves waking up causing pain is s good thing time and time again

[wedgewood]

Yes you must keep hanging on and try not to get overwhelmed. It’s very hard. But you know that you can always look for some words of encouragement on this forum !

Try not to feel alone in all of it .

You can do it ! Best wishes !

Do keep moving if you can. Not vigorous exercise but gentle rotations while seated, lying stretches etc. It took many months for my pain to recede (mainly legs and back) but I am much better now and can walk reasonable distances.

Hang in there! Honestly, the first few months are rough.

hiya Chickens,

Just remember u are not doing this alone. There are a lot of people going through this painful awakening. I’ve just caught covid so really struggling rn. U are getting better it’s just going to take some time. 😊🤗💜

I’m so sorry for your suffering!! I’m new to this forum and have yet to post about my B12 mystery journey for the last 5 months. It’s overwhelming. This forum has kept me sane reading others generous stories of their symptoms and trial and error. The lack of knowledge and help by providers is disturbing. I am finally meeting with an experienced naturopath today and hope for help. I plan to keep reading this forum as a means of support and kindness. I’ll be praying you get the answers you need and find some relief along the way. It’s day to day. 🥰 Hugs!

good morning Chickens44

yes I am going through this with you as well, middle of my 4th month and times of the day my mind is having trouble with everything from having to do suppliments now in my life that I never had to worry about and injections now and wondering of the future with this and also the pain. It's like we can get lost in all this. but I too keep praying for strength and patients. then reading all the post's over and over from our support from the ones who have passed this phase. keep faith. I know it's hard too.

This is aimed at people with chronic pain but it's a good read regardless and you can learn techniques that will send messages of safety to your brain and help to keep it out of fight/flight mode:
