Avatar n tn Gabapentine is a good medicine that has shown some consistent results. Reduction of stress levels is also shown to work. Thalamus is the center where all the sensory information comes. And it includes emotional aspects, too. Some people benefit from stereotactic surgery (Thalamotomy). The decision regarding the treatment options can be discussed with your Neurologist. All the best.
Avatar f tn Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, teaches individuals to train their minds to cope with stress more skillfully (I discovered Rick Hanson through Karen Sothers, who teaches MBSR at the Scripps Institute for Integrative Medicine in San Diego, California).
Avatar m tn For those of you in significant chronic physical pain/neuropathy (to the level that you're taking chronic pain meds) -- How many of you practice some kind of mediation/mindfulness/hypnosis, etc. to relieve that pain. If so, does it help reduce physical pain (not talking about emotional pain/stress I assume it helps for that). I realize someone will remind me that physical and emotional pain are linked, but regardless, I'm after any physical pain reduction.
405614 tn?1329144114 She had lived in Alaska, and knew how to drive in the several inches of powdery snow; It was the windshield wipers icing up and reducing visibility that tensed me up. We stopped several times on the way home to knock the ice off. I did a lot of breathing while watching the beauty of the snow and Christmas lights we passed. We did get a lot of shopping done, and made it safely home. Now I'll have a quiet indoor day wrapping tons of presents (her three grandsons are coming up from CA).
Avatar m tn Jeg er blant annet sertifisert kursholder i Bekymringsmestring samt mindfulness instruktør i Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction og har solide verktøy som skal til for å kunne holde meg avspent og ha god kontroll på stress. Etter fullført CBT-I test gjennom Helse i Arbeid ble det konkludert at de ikke kunne hjelpe alle, og jeg var en av dem. Slik avsluttet de "behandlingen" med beskjed om å kontakte min fastlege. Det forelå ingen forslag til videre behandling eller undersøkelse.
Avatar f tn I have also gone without many other symptoms for over a week now. Other than the heart, I do have some slight muscle twitches and some fatigue but it is much better. I do recommend Dr. David's Lyme book as a source to increase your knowledge of Lyme disease. I'm not stating that his Lyme truths are the only truths, but he has a lot of interesting thoughts plus many inexpensive detox suggestions for the body that will at least broaden your concepts of how to treat Lyme.
5520965 tn?1506009040 s been a while since I checked in here, but I wanted to thank you and let you know that I have taken some of your advice, and have also worked out a decent drpatient relationship with my new cardiologist. I am going in for a full MRI cardiac work-up on Monday, and I will admit I am worried about the findings, but they will be what they are, and I realize worrying won't help me in the slightest. Can't help it though.
Avatar m tn m sure you under a lot of pressure and stress. Maybe you could go to the school clinic and speak to a doctor there? I know a lot of colleges offer support in the way of free counseling and support groups, maybe one of those? I agree with Rich that taking time to just stop and do some relaxation is quite important.
Avatar n tn One of the top four EP labs in the United States is located in Philadelphia next to U. Penn at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine. This was recommended to me by my daughter, a 3rd year resident MD in Internal Medicine. Check: The Cardiac Electrophysiology Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. .
1168718 tn?1464983535 People do not see it because I appear calm and happy but I am now seriously tackling the stress. For me it is life and death whether I get a handle on it. I need to calm my body processes to survive. My brother is pretty stressed as well. Last night I went to sleep with a "Mindfulness" audible book going. I was in pain and I went into five crying jags yesterday. I normally do not cry. Now I get so frustrated I cry all the time.
Avatar f tn Over the past couple of weeks my headaches/pains which I have had for a couple of years have become much worse and intense. The other day I lost colour vision in my right eye, but only briefly. I thought it was my glasses so gave them a clean and rubbed my eye (I don't think it was this that casued it). Eventually it went back to normal. I also get pain over my eye and aches around the outside. I am not due to see my neurologist until February.
Avatar m tn I will surely look into the books and have a look online about the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Thanks all, and may we all feel better soon.
Avatar m tn 15 - 20 Expect a more marked reduction in response to stimulation and usually a further reduction in embryo quality. Low live birth rates. Antral follicle count is an important variable. Over 20 This is pretty much a "no go" level in our center. Very poor (or no) response to stimulation. "No go" levels should be individualized for the particular lab assay and IVF center.

Avatar m tn ve been experiencing some pain in the center of my abdomen just below my ribcage for the past two days. The pain is dull and seems to be on and off throughout the day. The pain goes away for a while when I take tylenol/advil. I've been experiencing more feeling of nausea and have been belching more than I normally would. I was looking online and some sites say it may be gallstones?
Avatar f tn Mindfulness is the key to unlocking its secret. The term in the Talmud for mindfulness is kavanat lev, ‘the directing of the heart.’ Real mindfulness comes about not by an act of violence against our consciousness, not by force, not by trying to control our consciousness, but rather, by a kind of directed compassion, a softening of our awareness, a loving embrace of our lives, a soft letting be.
Avatar n tn menstrual cycle irregularity may have contributed to the stress. before i trained in ob/gyn and infertility at yale, i trained in psychiatry at harvard, so i'm a great believer in the mind-body connection. it's just that the mind and body are so interconnected it's rare mind causes body problems without body problems also contributing to mind problems. i think you should begin to take medications to ovulate.

620048 tn?1358018235 Our dear Meg, I can understand what you're going through and to top things off, as you are cutting back on your pain medication (hopefully you're doing this gradually and not a complete cessation) you're having withdrawal symptoms. Been there done that. I had Post Thoracic Pain Syndrome which affected the nerves on my right side from the T2 level to T11. Let me tell you it was the most painful thing ever.
Avatar f tn If the size is perfect but the breasts are wide and flattened in the center such that the bra cup is not filled out in the center of the cup but is filled out on the sides, what technique is employed to change this?

Avatar m tn Questions that center the person in what is truly factual. The emotions are considered but therapist continues to use facts not feelings to help. Not sure this helps. Bet there is a good description in wiki.
Avatar n tn chronic, perhaps only occasional (though no less tortuous, for that) manifestations of such stress-related symptoms; and, the development of disease in the longer term (cancers, for example), I, among others, am convinced of the critical reality of this relationship/connection. (Chronic dependence on cortisone, moreover, can only negatively impact the body's hormone balance, with far-reaching effects).
Avatar n tn It has given me stomach issues, heart palpitations and muscle tension in my back. It used to make me feel nervous and jittery but lately I have been feeling very fearful about everything and constantly on the verge of a panic attack, or constant fight or flight. I have read the forum and am taking magnesium every night which has almost eliminated my heart palpitations. I have been researching natural remedies to help ease the constant fear and tension. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Avatar f tn However i have been under some stress due to a grievance i have placed at work, and the stress could ALSO come from the high TSH reading. What concerns me is the sudden change in the reading when i am restless, unable to sleep without waking up 5-6 times a night, of course i am tired as well, not surprising if i am not sleeping correctly plus my thyroid is not functioning correctly.
