This is my THREAD on how I overcame my fibromyalgia.
I am NOT a doctor.
I’m sharing what worked for me & you should use sound judgement & work w/your doctor.
I implore you to think outside the box & I’m confident that most with chronic pain will.
1/
I ‘stumbled’ upon my healing in a roundabout way.
I had been wanting to connect to God/Higher power & become more spiritual.
NOTE* You do not have to believe in God.
It’s been a life long desire that never
clicked due to religious dogma, but I digress. 2/
I’d been feeling a call/pull about 1 yr ago but was physically & emotionally miserable.
I’d been diagnosed w/fibro for 5 years, along w/thyroid issues & CFS.
I was taking copious amounts of Tramadol, Lyrica & Cymbalta.
My body was completely addicted.
3/
And yet that still small voice was telling me it was time to connect.
I knew w/my body & the addictions, it wasn’t going to happen.
Then God (insert whatever works for you here) reminded me of some things.
I kept having to take more to dull the pain.
4/
My father & sister had already been diagnosed w/fibro & CFS for years.
They work in the medical & mental health field.
I’m very familiar w/medicine & psychology.
I love science.
I know about ‘rebound pain’.
How it works is that opioids will dull the..5/
..pain, but when the opioid wears off, it triggers more pain to return.
The extreme version of this is when an addict tries to get clean.
But this cycle happens to fibro sufferers all day every day.
We put ourselves on a hamster wheel of never ending pain.
6/
We are stuck always trying to chase relief.
This isn’t HEALING.
So, at this point I put my intent on using the Law of Attraction to just get off the meds.
And what happened after that, I would eventually figure it out.
I want to address something.
7/
Lyrica & Gabapentin.
They are pure poison & cause brain damage.
While on Lyrica, my moods were all over the place, my speech was slurred.
No joke, I sounded like a Nancy Pelosi.
My memory was getting worse.
I could feel it affecting my brain.
8/
I decided to research it.
It attacks the grey matter of your brain.
It fries brain synapses & prohibits new brain synapses from forming.
In short, it causes early Alzheimer’s.
My brain & memory are NOT the same.
Read this article. 9/ vwscircle.com/index.php/2019…
So I visualized myself ‘getting clean’.
I told everyone I was going to get off the medicine hamster wheel.
I CLAIMED it.
I told God that He had better make it bearable if He wanted me to do it.
I started to ween myself off.
I had tried this many..
10/
..times in the past.
It was pure hell.
I gave in every time.
This time, it wasn’t.
I felt pain.
My body reacted.
But it was a 5/10 instead of a 11/10.
I had prepared & claimed it ahead of time & the difference was remarkable!
I did it!
Now what?
11/
I was still having pain but realized that the pain had been much worse ON my meds.
My intuition had told me for years that it was making it worse.
I was living proof.
BUT, I was still in pain.
Part of what I had learned was that the Law of Attraction..12/
...and the science of energy, frequency & vibrations are real.
We hold all power in our minds.
I started to look into the mind-body connection.
Stop and read these two threads so you understand what I’m saying.
This is vital.
And then we will continue. 13/
Understand this.
This is science.
This is true.
Period.
So one opioid free rainy day, I was in a ton of pain.
Rainy days were the worst & I was having a flare up.
I had heard about (Reiki) energy healing. 15/
It’s believed by many that Jesus was an energy healer.
I had been in bed for two days writhing in pain & kept getting ‘told/led’ (intuition) to seek out a Reiki healer ASAP.
I put out a tweet asking if someone could recommend one.
Someone DMd me of one.
16/
His name is Gary & I sent him a msg on my son’s FB.
I said “I would like to set up a session ASAP.”
I didn’t tell him why.
He responded.
When I’m in pain, I rock back & forth.
I sat on my bed rocking in pain & he asked me my name & for a pic.
I answered.
17/
He asked me when I could do a session.
I messaged him back.
It was at that very moment, I noticed I had stopped rocking & my pain was completely gone!
I didn’t say anything.
Then he msgd me back:
“Your pain is gone, isn’t it? Lol”
What?!
18/
How did he know I was in pain?
How did he know it just completely dissipated?!
I told him my response & he was like “I get that all the time.”
That started my journey into energy healing.
There’s more to it.
Pharma/docs work with symptoms.
19/
We take the mind out of it & only focus on the body.
The mind controls EVERYTHING.
Our bodies are just the vehicle for our engine (mind).
I’m familiar w/and intrigued by psychology.
My daughter suffers from PTSD.
She refused to open up & go to therapy.
20/
Guess what happened?
It manifested in other ways.
Migraines
Panic attacks
OCD, and so on.
So this can be applied to fibro.
There’s no pinpoint cause.
So why do so many suffer from chronic pain?
What if I told you it’s because of your mind?
21/
I delved into the body/mind connection.
What studies now recognize is that chronic pain & others health issues are manifested in your body from carrying past hurts, traumas, hatred, not forgiving/letting go.
Gary even confirmed this. 22/ Image
Our bodies are talking to us.
Trying to get us to take notice.
Think about this.
Distractions take us out of ourselves.
Have you ever tried meditating?
It can be brutally hard because you have to be PRESENT.
Our bodies only exist in the PRESENT 23/
Our minds only like to be in the PAST or the FUTURE.
We are not balanced.
We are not aligned.
Now, in one of the above threads I showed you the effect that energy/frequency/emotions (energy in motion) have on water.
Our bodies & brains are mostly water. 24/
Did you know that cells & DNA have memory?
So if you go through traumas & hurts, it’s embedded in your cells & DNA.
I always described my fibro pain as “even my cells hurt!”
Go figure.
Read this, then go to my PART 2 thread.
