    Found A Core Psychological Feature to Fix - But How?

    When I said "watch" the tape, I didn't mean to let it play out. I meant that I put myself immediately outside of the experience of remembering, by noticing that this isn't actually happening now. Instead of being the subject inside of the drama playing out in my head, I know that this is just...

    Found A Core Psychological Feature to Fix - But How?

    Yes, I have this thread running through my life also. I don't think any of these life-patterns are healed directly. We all have them; life is difficult and unfair. I use basic mindfulness techniques. Whether it's my side of the dance arising (replaying how hurt I am), or the other side...

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    @Wayne my DMSO arrived today, and I've been going back through this thread for ideas. When you added GABA and got help with sleep, did you take the GABA orally, or mix it with DMSO? I note your comment that DMSO carries it across the BBB, so.....did you crush it up? Cannabis won't be...

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    I went to @Issie 's link and then emailed the woman who apparently wrote the website copy. She recommends mixing the DMSO with coconut oil. I looked at DMSO creams, and they seem to be 70% DMSO and 30% oils. Maybe this would stop the skin reactions? I've been wandering around on DMSO sites...

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    I've ordered it! I already use magnesium oil, so I'll mix them together. I like your directions: slather it on. I'm also interested in taking it orally, to see what happens. I've been experimenting with hemp oil again, with mixed results. It gave me intolerable physical symptoms at low...

    Legal in all 50 States Cannabis Oil

    Are any of you still using CBD oil? I had experimented with Cidbex years ago, then the Zen oil more recently. One made me sick and the other didn't do anything but also didn't sit right. A few weeks ago I sprang for a very high quality oil, not Charlotte's Web, that has 30mg CBD/ml. I...

    Genes Highlight Inflammation and Mast Cells in Fibromyalgia

    For what it's worth, my son lost bladder control the 2 times he had aspartame as a child. Nobody else in the family reacted in visible ways, but we choose to keep it out of our diets.

    ME/CFS phone support group

    This is a great idea; I hope you get an interested group together. Sadly, I'm another one who does better typing than talking. I get confused hearing a voice but not having visual cues. Good luck with this.

    Headphones to Stimulate the Vagus Nerve.

    Did you read my post backwards? I was telling you that there is a no-music option programmed into the generator.

    Headphones to Stimulate the Vagus Nerve.

    Very interesting! These are supposed to ship in August 2016. @Seven @Who Me? there is a non-music mode.

    How your brain heals itself - new hope for people with chronic pain, multiple sclerosis and more

    I bought both of Doidge's books when I read about this, hoping to find something I could try at home. This article covers much of the most exciting work in the books, and Doidge's website, http://www.normandoidge.com/?page_id=1052, includes information about practitioners mentioned in the...

    Method to Rebalance Autonomic Nervous System in 14 days?

    Do you think the issue might be that your head wasn't lower than your back? I'm having good luck on a 2-cushion couch. I take off one cushion and put a pillow there for my head so it doesn't drop too low.

    Have Doctors Gone Too Far on Exercise For Fibromyalgia?

    It's very helpful to hear that studies show exercise to be helpful, but not very. So much noise about a small gain! But it's great to hear about anything that helps, even a little. I have CFS and FM, so strenuous exercise is out for me. I've found the combination of boswellia and slow...
