Fibro and Hypnosis

[robin_of_loxley]

Hi,

Has anyone tried hypnosis for Fibro?

I have been suffering for two years with fibro like symptoms. Some doctors have said it is some are less sure.

Recently I had what were two stressful situations. One night I had to take my daughter to A&E, the other was a long full day with a client.

In both of these situations my symptoms almost disappeared for between 24-48 hours.

I dont know if that was due to adrenaline or just my mind was so busy. But it was incredible to feel almost normal again. I could laugh, smile and talk properly which I haven't done for ages.

It got me thinking is my brain doing this to me and after research I saw that people have been using hypnosis to deal with fibro. But I haven't been able to connect with anyone who has tried it.

Does anyone here have experience with this?

Today I am back with my usual symptoms, but worse than normal.

Thanks Rob

I have regular hypnotherapy. Does it work? Well the cynic in me and my sensible brain says no it can't possibly but the other side of me says in which case why do I feel so good afterwards. Is it because I have just had 45 mins of "me" time and have relaxed and settled in the moment or does it really do something. Only you can decide if it works for you. What I would say is go with an open mind. Most hynotherapists will offer a trial session to see if you can work together. I had several chats with therapists before I found one I was completely comfortable with. Hypnotherapy can make one feel vulnerable so it is very important to feel safe with your therapist.

Hu,

I had one session with my pain management professor, it brought out some demons, but it also helped me deal better with some pain, I wouldn’t say it lasted, as I have nerve damage, but it might help you if it’s fm related Give it a go. You never know?

"Recently, the ICD-11 [International Classification of Diseases-11] recognized burnout as a disease but focused only on work stress as a cause. The truth is that people can be burned out for many other reasons," said Campos.

The Endocrine Society notes on their webpage dedicated to the topic that "adrenal fatigue (endocrine.org/patient-engag... as a term, relates to long-term mental, emotional, or physical stress.

"The problem is not the adrenals — it is the exposure to stress in the brain. The brain — only one organ — is responsible for 40% of energy consumption in the body. As you can imagine, if you are under constant

stress, you run out of gas very quickly and cannot function well," he explained.
