Crushed by bread? Read this.

Jean-"Dear Marc"

"I address myself to you because you are my last hope." I suffer of neurogenic pain and I don't know how others do to live, or even "survive"? I am 23 years old, and my pain increased since at least 5 years. I no longer works for 36 months (dismissal for physical incapacity). That do, when not to scream, to fall on the ground, because my legs are more, me for not being able to move in bed, so I have difficulty? »

Receive such as SOS is one of the most shocking aspects of my job.

The problem is that it is not always possible to help someone you screaming for help. What to do, then?

Advise him to wait, saying that "it's going to go alone"? Claim that a solution to his problem will perhaps soon be discovered by "science"?

Yes, what to do when, at the bottom of oneself, we know that medicine has nothing to offer, outside course of morphine which is losing consciousness and dehumanizes?

The pain is real

If you are suffering terribly, the first thing I have to say is that I believe you.

I have no doubt a moment that your pain is real. I believe that it is worse that you do want to say.

As our body is able to torture us, to give us envy we cut a member (if a member who hurt us) or us commit suicide if it does not.

And this situation is neither rare nor extreme. On the contrary: the pain comes so easily, she became quickly if violent, and it is so widespread, as happy that did not have this dream to jump of a cliff to finally stop the torment.
 •Imagine living with permanent sensation that apply you an iron boiling against the cheek, causing you pain scream except that you cannot because you would be for a bishop and that it internerait you: this is what many feel people with shingles on the face.
 •Imagine live coated, the slightest movement triggering you pain a knife in the thigh, and this during the weeks or months, to the point that you would prefer that you cut off the leg, but could not do so because it would change nothing, the pain is caused by inflammation of your nerve in the spinal cord : this is what feel so much and so many people who suffer from sciatica.

And I could give hundreds of examples.

The pain of others is fear, including medical staff. Then the easiest is to disappear by means that suppress the consciousness of the patient (anaesthetic), which is a way of depriving the person of his life painful (I prefer the term "painful" to that of "pain", which includes all patients, including those who have not).

Another way, which is worse, is denying the pain, telling that she is imaginary, psychological, (or "psychosomatic", this is more learned), making the person who suffers... the culprit, a deranged or a selfish who exaggerated to gain attention. There also, in general, we try it knock suddenly of sleeping pills and anti-depressants, supposedly to help him, actually to get rid of it.

And it is here that, for the painful person, open the gates of hell.

Pain is an injustice

I consider on the contrary that, with pain, it is essential that the entourage recognizes its objective, indisputable facts. It is for me the worst thing we can do to a painful, than to accuse him to invent his pain.

I'll make a parallel between the pain victims and victims of injustice, because they are two similar situations, the pain being an injustice and injustice being a pain (pain moral, but which can be of extreme violence).

Victims of crime require above all that it does not deny the reality of what is happened, that it is not told that it is their fault, that it is not seeking to excuse their assailant or find reasons.

If you start to minimize or deny the facts, you chat to the victim pain more intense than that of the crime itself. You put it in a State of distress that can the lead to madness or suicide (in this regard, we hear much of suicide in prisons, but suicide statistics are much higher in people who have been victims of abuse, particularly when Justice was not able or intended to make justice).

Nevertheless, this is a most common reflex than to seek an "explanation" the crime, this explanation in general involving the behavior, the personality of the victim, who should not have been as, to do this, look at the assailant as this, to be in such place at such time, and which can therefore not be surprised to have hit...raped, stabbed.

Experience on yourself: when you read stories of crimes in the press, your brain will immediately seek reasons that are in the details of the story that this tragedy could not have happen to you.

"I don't live this district". "I don't ever take this street". "I'm a man", while the victim is a woman, or vice versa. "I am adult", while the victim is a child. "My children are not in this college. "I would never commit such imprudence"...

I believe that there is indeed a psychological explanation for this: to reassure, human beings have to imagine that he controls the events of his life. He persuaded that what happens is not the result of chance, but the result of choices and decisions it has taken. And this will grow to be considered the victim as at least partly responsible for what happened to him.

The problem is that this attitude, while comfortable for itself, causes a terrible tear in the victim. In order to overcome her pain, rebuild, forgive his assailant, and finally find the serenity, the victim was first need the reality of injustice to be recognized. This is a first essential step. If this reality is denied or minimized, it will remain obsessed with what she suffered and will enclose in a mental hell.

Well it seems to me that it is the same for the pain of a patient. The painful person can begin to consider learning to live with the pain if it is denied by his entourage.

The first step in the acceptance of suffering should not be done by the patient himself, but by his entourage, physicians, staff care, or any other person has, which must recognize the reality of pain.

Need for testimony

I think that it is also explains the intense need for testimony that feel painful people. They absolutely want to hear someone tell his own suffering, because then they will know that there is at least someone who knows, who does not deny that minimizes not, because the drama happened to it also.

As long as a person who suffers is not sure someone suffered so that she, she experiences a deaf anguish: the anguish of loneliness, anxiety to live, only, a test that no human has ever known, and that is indescribable.

However, the meeting, or the face, the testimony of a person who knows his suffering brought him a first relief. This is normal. It is even essential. It's not the sadism to others, a kind of unhealthy celebration, but on the contrary the deeply human need to be understood (or potentially included) by another person.

From that time only, the individual suffering can accept the situation and begin to wonder: "now that is what I do specifically to be able to live with my pain again."

Pain without known solution

If your pain is caused by damaged, for example of the problems of cartilage tissue, a hernia, a fracture, a severe burn, etc., you you focus course first on this issue, without guarantee also that a solution is found.

But there are many situations in which it will not solve the issue. Many illnesses cause intense pain because the nervous system treats the pain of abnormal way, for example, fibromyalgia.

Without any injury or observable disease you experience deep and continuous, diffuse muscle pain without respite, with periods of exacerbation. Sensitive points you make suffer when on. You're tired, you sleep poorly, you lose the memory. Fibromyalgia can also cause digestive disorders (irritable bowel, etc.), restless legs syndrome, interstitial cystitis.

We will deal with the most difficult case: that of intense pain, for which medicine has no known solution, because the cause is directly located in the nervous system.

These diseases make the hellish life. Often, the patient dark depression. The suicide rate is 10 times higher among people with fibromyalgia than in the rest of the population, and for cause, the pain is unbearable, and worsens still during periods of stress for fatigue and even with a change of time.

Conventional medicine is then nothing to offer. What to do then?

Well Fortunately, there is much to do. And that is what we will see, these tips can be applied to all those painful:

Become realistic to medicine

I already spoke of the syndrome of hitchhiking, this situation where the patient waits passively that the therapist or doctor found a solution.

In all health problems, but in the case that here, the pain, more is the worst wrong you can cause you to yourself. Emergency, should stop to consider the doctor as the main person in charge, and put yourself in the pilot's seat: this is my life, my problem, and it is me who will resolve it. Of course, you go from time to time seek the help of a therapist or a doctor, who can still be useful on certain occasions, but you must stop until they solve the problem in your place.

"The force that is in each of us is our greatest physician" said the great physician Hippocrates 2500 years ago. He declared also unable to treat people who had not decided to heal!

It is a question of realism and, finally, of passage to adulthood: stop waiting for others that they "support you". Achieve, even if it's hard, you are ultimately the only person in charge of your destiny.

These principles being posed, now advice much more concrete to overcome or to accept the pain, do so live with it:

Get out of the vicious circle of stress

What are the causes of your pain, you suffer less if you are less stressed.

Stress may be a trigger, in the case of fibromyalgia. It is often the case of perfectionists, demanding towards themselves and their entourage, workers often large, generous, not securing. This causes muscle tension and digestion problems, which increase their overall condition.

A vicious circle settled because the stress aggravates the pain, and pain cause a worsening of the stress.

You secrétez of the stress hormones, which tend your muscles and tendons, until they relax more, block, and become painful. Or then, discretely, your muscles will gradually become exhausted, ignite, and to endolorir, in turn causing additional stress.

Your digestive system is also vulnerable to stress. According to Dr. Jean-Paul Curtay, "all of our digestive tract from mouth to anus, is lined muscle cells arranged in circular layers which can, like any muscle, to contract, to"spasms".". This is what happens when it is stressed, with consequences many digestive symptoms: difficulty swallowing, flatulence, bloating, gastric gravity ("it's stayed me on the stomach"), "liver crisis", gastritis, gastrointestinal ulcers, discomfort, diarrhea trends. Some of these conditions can worsen and lead to chronic inflammatory diseases of the digestive system sometimes very disabling. Studies show that people who are victims of this type of diseases often have a highly obsessive perfectionist profile and are therefore particularly vulnerable to stress. » (1)

It will therefore have to reduce stress, learn to control it. The range of therapies is very broad, meditation in nutritional complementation (tyrosine, glutamine, tryptophan...) through yoga, heart coherence, or swimming.

Care your morale

The greatest danger that weighs on the painful people is to give up life, and into depression.

But it found that St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has shown its effectiveness on small depressions to moderate. A study on 79 patients, found that it improved the symptoms of depression, while reducing the sensation of pain.

It is therefore a plant to try, but attention, there are contraindications so first consult your doctor efore taking St. John's wort.

Balance your neurotransmitters

May your pain be compounded by an imbalance of your neurotransmitters, the chemicals that ransmit electrical impulses between your nerve cells.

Many of them are involved in the pain and its perception. For mapping, these are:

• serotonin;
 • Gaba;
 • norepinephrine;
 • dopamine;
 • glutamate.

There are basically nutritional ways to restore the balance of your neurotransmitters. I do not detail it here but I recommend you here also, if the subject interests you really receive the file " Fibromyalgia: natural solutions for you free of pain without chemical drugs ", by subscribing to Health Nature Innovation by clicking here.

This folder contains all the products interesting, doses, where to purchase them, etc. It concerned all those painful, not only the people who suffer from fibromyalgia.

Food intolerances

For some people, the intestinal barrier becomes porous and allow large molecules that it should in principle filter. This porosity develops due to an inflammation of the intestinal epithelium. Wheat protein (gluten), cow's milk proteins (casein) pass in the blood and can trigger a reaction immune and inflammatory, but also reach the brain and contribute to the worsening of the sensation of being evil.

If you already suffer from chronic pain, it is therefore important to ensure that you have not, in addition to food intolerances which aggravate the situation.

Detoxification

In the same order of idea, food and atmospheric pollutants, pesticides, nitrates, household products, tobacco, drugs, compounds generated by the high firing (glyquees proteins), chemicals in food packaging have repercussions on immunity and can dangerously slow the natural healing of your body process, and the disappearance of your pain.

A detoxification cure can help you relieve your pain much faster that previous changes could leave you thinking.

Physical exercise

The pain, including joint pain, tend to decrease when you exercise. This seems contradictory, the reflex in general to move the least possible to lessen the pain.

But in reality, making the sport causes the secretion of endorphins, hormones that decrease the sensitivity.

Of course choose a moderate intensity activity: apartment bike, swimming, ballroom dancing. Very positive results were obtained when patients have made the exercise in a heated water basin. (2)

Can also take advantage of a health cure and a stay at the sea.

You have to be patient because improvements are felt especially by the eighth week, and will crescendo until the twentieth week.

Hypnosis

Therapeutic hypnosis is increasingly associated with traditional medical treatments and if you have not tried it, is perhaps time to do so. In hypnosis the patient is guided by the hypnotist to meet suggestions. A branch of the hypnosis, guided imagery to drive the patient to imagine an internal reality absent external stimuli. The purpose is to amend certain sensations.

It is this technique that was the subject of 6 clinical studies in the management of the pain of fibromyalgia. These studies show that guided imagery is effective to reduce the painful sensations. It is not known if the other symptoms of Fibromyalgia are actually improved, because the results are difficult to interpret.
