Did it help you at all?


    I have tried many different alternative treatments, too many to name that did not work LOL

   So I thought I would be positive and share those things that did work for me, and that I still use on a regular basis and also what I am waiting to get.

"gojo"-  I will mail you the information this week I cross my heart... on the Alpha-Stim 100 personal pain manager, My insurance will pay for it. I have an appointment tomorrow with my Doctor for the required documentation

Two alternative therapies/treatments I have found helpful are guided imagery, using CD's like lifescapes and a mp3 called the crystal cave when pain levels are extremely high;  and also a computer program that uses Alpha brain waves (awesome!)  called Neuro programmer 2 home edition  by transparent corporation.  I do swear by it.  They have a downloadable trial version before you buy.  The cd or download one has 115 audio-visual sessions that you can change or adjust to suit your needs, and not just for pain for alllllllllllll kinds of things.  I actually use my program daily.

you can find it at http://www.transparentcorp.com/   
look under programs/software or products for Neuro programmer 2

Look forward to hearing from everyone!

love and light to all

I have tried biofeed back with the psychologist at my pain clinic and I do think it is very helpful.  I also use hypnosis.  Today I am planning to record my therapist hypnotizing me so that I can be more successful doing this at home.  I swear by hypnosis and self relaxation techniques using a sea scape for me (that is my happy place on a beach where it is warm) 

I have tried some yoga, but I have so much difficulty with trying to always adapt to not spend too much time on my left leg, it doesn't seem to give me as much relief as the hypnosis or relaxation with the sea scape does.

  Greetings,
I have tried several types of relaxation techniques largely to not avail.  I achieve the best result by closing myself off in a semi dark room and chilling out to a desired TV program and if things are too difficult I will retreat to a favorite CD accompanied with a do not disturb sign on the door.  I haven't seen anything that helps in this process other than just shutting the world around me completely out.  As for biofeedback, I have not had the process described to me in such a way to make it attractive.  This process dates back to the days I was having such horrific migraines, the it seemed that no medicine on the planet would help.  I bid you all rest beyond the norm and a peace that passes all understanding, gojogo.
