The Brain That Changes Itself

..The result is this book, a riveting collection of case histories detailing the astonishing progress of people whose conditions had long been dismissed as hopeless. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, a woman labeled retarded who cured her deficits with brain exercises and now cures those of others, blind people learning to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, painful phantom limbs erased,

Friends are saviours

A dear friend of mine sent me this card… it made me laugh. I have to agree though, your medication needs to be within reach, no point knocking yourself out to get to it. Defeats the purpose!

Physiotherapy at the Women’s

It felt like a miracle and took all of about 15 minutes for the phsyiotherapist (at the chronic pelvic pain clinic at the Women’s here in Melbourne Australia) to give me her French infused explanation that my pain was most probably coming from my Pudendal Nerve (yes, a name, I had a name!). It took another 15mins for her to put me in on my back (I never lay on my back as it was too painful) and apply a pressure/postural technique that switched my pain off! (Yes, OFF… calm, silence, stillness, roar gone, no spasm, quiet, peace)… unbelievable but this is true.

The way relief continued…

A few months into my implant and I felt like I was human again… my senses were back and it was incredible!! That thick pain fog was lifted and I could taste, smell, see, concentrate, focus, remember, listen, think, plan, dream, enjoy, laugh, read, oh what bliss!!!!

The way relief started

In my case, the procedure was much less complicated as I didn’t need the leads to go through the spinal canal but rather along my sacrum and coccyx. There is a trial period in which the unit sits outside and is ‘plugged in’ via the leads that, yes, are sticking half out/half in your body. Look I know that might sound gruesome to some but please… we’re talking about chronic pain here… it was NOTHING. A cinch… it worked, it’s in now and giving me great pain relief.
