An odd result with chronic pain!.

Well there I was sitting on the sofa last night late watching a recording of Torchwood and then the old Neuropathic sickly numb cold feelings start up, so I thought oh bugger here we go again another attack coming, well I sat there and closed my eyes and focused on it and thought about my body pushing in down and out of my legs and after 5 minutes it actually went away!!!, what the hell is going on?. I have never ever had a strong flare sign like that actually go away or even reduce never ever!!!!, maybe the Neurological nerve damage is slowly healing after 3 long years?, God only knows but something went on?, knowing my luck though it probably wont last but I will say this was a first for me. I’ll keep me fingers crossed for now, I can’t count how many times I’ve had false dawns I’ve had but I will take this one as a sign for now.
And odly I had only taken 1 Gabapentin for that day as I want to come off of them they make me ill and don’t seem to do much good anyway in fact there bloody dangerous I see things that arn't there and then I don't see thnigs that are, makes driving a bit sporty!.

Hi Mell,

Oh its a shame the gabs and pregabs have such a bad effect on you. I don't know if there is anything else they can give you that do the job with out the hallucinations? I was lucky and that side effect didn't last too long for me..... and in my case was fairly interesting....

I honestly do 'know' you can override the pain by thinking of it leaving your body...... Mine sometimes gets scooped out with a giant ice cream scoop.....

Its a very good and such a useful thing to be able to do and well done for getting it and making it go.....

Mind over matter i guess? I just know it works. You hang in there and hope the day will be kind to you. ((( ))) and a cuppa Cris xx

Hi Cris I was going to PM you to ask how the lickle horse is now doing?, and more importantly how you are you've not been on here.
I guess it may well be just luck last night I don't go for hippy dippy stuff normally but I just kind of relaxed and tried to control it this time it worked,never has before.
anyway it's OK right now so I'm going with the flow, how's it down your neck of the woods as wet as up here??.

Hi Mell
Im a big believer in mind over matter,the trouble with me is I dont have a good imagination.....so I have bought myself a CD on the power of thought....I am going to stick with it till it works.. not sure how long that will be..

Hi Mell,

Oh he and his mum have gone back to the boy..... I dd have the most amazing thing though the day he left.....

He wouldn't go in the box with his mum and was being really silly... I went towards him and he actually cam up to me.... was able to cuddle him and then push and walk up the ramp him to his mum... made me feel so good that he trusted me that much.

Yep rain, rain and more rain though the sun is trying at the mo... not wining too well but will give it 10 out of 10 for effort

Oh Mell I am drowning just now

Will send you the belated pics I took the day before he left... he has changed some and was full of it and well up for giving his mum the run around

this thought thing is well worth getting to hand.... I do it so much and less I am really down and feeling yuck x too much it works well....

never a cure and only ever short lived but its something you can take as required as often as you need

Got a little job for your lads if you can send them down...... Cris xx

Hi Cris Hannah would love your place, wall to wall horses and foals she'd be in heaven.
Hey and you were right, it wasn't a cure I had just a lull befoere hostilities resume, sitting here at work with a nasty case of CPS feeling sick as a pig, but oddly can't really detect any OA pain right now, whta a strange illness this is!
