Last night I fully came to realize the power of a blog and by being vunerable and sharing my struggle with others. Constant pain is bruttle. It wears you down. It takes your energy and attacks your spirit. For some brief moments I thought "this could all go away if I took a couple of Tylenol." I would sleep well for the night. Oh how temping it was. Fortunately the reality of what that would mean came to me. I would have to explain to everyone what happened. How I could not over come this problem. How I did not succeed. The benefit of short term pain relief was not worth the consequences.
Today was better. I wonder if the acupuncture is helping. I had a session yesterday, although it was quite unpleasant. The needles don't hurt going in but when she took a couple of them out it generated intense pain. She explained the reason why but I really do not understand. She's Chinese with a heavy accent. I canceled my massage appointment tomorrow and replaced it with another acupuncture treatment. Massage feels better of course but what I'm dealing with is not a soft tissue issue (although it maybe what's causing some of the problem) it's a chemical problem.
Thank you all for your ongoing prayers and support.
About Me
- strengththroughgrace
- My name is Camille Morris, I'm 39, wife of a wonderful and supportive husband, and mom of two amazing and loving children for whom I thank God every day for entrusting in our care. I have always been interested in health and wellness. I am an avid reader and a lifelong learner. I crave knowledge and have studied numerous books, web sites, and taken college courses relating to health and wellness. I was very fortunate to be given a scholarship in 2004 to the famous Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona where I participated in their week long program, "Life Enhancement". I was taught by some of the best and inspiring health professionals in their field. Six years ago I began experiencing chronic headaches and migraines. I started taking Tylenol and ibuprofen to alleve this pain. Now I find my body dependent on this so called "safe" medicine and have decided to go through an intense and painful withdrawal process to overcome this. I will cling to the verse, "...With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19: 26. I invite you to take this journey with me.
