When Natural Pain Relief Isn't Enough

Since mid-November, I have not used any pain medications for the treatment of my chronic migraines or fibromyalgia.  Instead, I have been using bioenergetic medicines made from herbs, flowers and plants.  For instance, when I feel a migraine coming on I take a combination of Core Feverfew (assists in relieving occasional head and neck tension and support normal immune function), a product called Relax Tone (assists in the relief of nervous energy, restlessness, sleeplessness and anxiety) and two capsules of St. John's Wort.  These typically help but when the migraine can not be controlled I'm left with the only option to tough it out.  I would be lying if I said that in those times I don't start yearning for a pain pill or shot to take me out of my misery.  Laying in the dark covered in pillows and ice packs where every minute in agony feels like an eternity isn't something I look forward to.  I find myself in this position at least once a week.  And when my homeopathic aides fail me I find myself wishing for that magic pill to take all the pain away.  When those days or nights include fibromyalgia flare ups I feel like I am on the verge of losing my mind.  When you have a full-blown migraine all you want to do is sleep so that you do not feel the agonizing pain anymore.  That becomes impossible when you're body - bones, nerves and muscles - is on fire and screaming at you in pain.  My bed feels like a hard slab of metal in which every position I try to lay in is like having my bones crushed by the hardest surface known to man.  Muscle spasms run up and down my body, jumping from limb to limb and from back to front.  The most relief I get is from using a skin and body cream called Mag MAXX, a heating pad and laying atop of pillows to ease the pressure on my bones and joints.  All I can do is try to do breathing exercises in between the spikes of pain and pray for God to lay hands on me and provide me with relief.  I do this until sleep finally takes me. I go back and forth about whether I should give in and go to the ER or urgent care.  I truly don't want to put that poison in my body because all it will do is mask the pain and come back in a few hours, most likely worse than before.  But in the middle of severe pain it becomes a welcomed option just to feel sane again.  It is a tough mental fight and I am more susceptible to weakness while in the throes of pain.  Yet I find myself coming out on the other side victorious in my virtues and choice for natural healing.  No, it isn't always enough to beat the pain but the victory I feel in making it through it is.  It gives me hope that I can do this.  My choice to tackle my chronic pain this way is not an easy one nor one that is right for everyone.  I am still on the first leg of my journey and am not always sure of where it'll lead me but I'm not going to give up just yet.  Although I still live with pain it's now on my terms, more so than it has ever been.  That gives me hope for the future that it will continue to get better.http://www.goenergetix.com
