Fibromyalgia, Showers can and will overexert you!

No I’m not full of it.

I decided that it was time to put my research to work, while I was finishing the book, and continue working toward my end goal of December. I’ve been up to a lot recently, I started writing articles as a Newsbreak contributor to assist others with the information that I’ve found, it seems to be gaining just a bit more traction for people to find me.

My focus has been on the current research and medical clinical studies of what’s up and coming on the market for the various illnesses that people suffer. Chronic Neuropathic Pain is a thing, even though you see a smile on someone’s face doesn’t mean that they aren’t feeling pain somewhere else in or on their body. Fibromyalgia and small fiber neuropathy is a thing for me. I cannot stop it unless I take a medication that literally makes me feel drunk all the time, so I opt to do things naturally to at least ease things. I have not resorted to cannabis as it’s still “illegal” in my state. I do know that it will help me though, as recent clinical studies for a few drugs based with THC/CBD are currently being tested for approval.

I’m going to share a few links to these articles I’ve written. Most interestingly, the Showers overexerting you is intriguing. The first time I noticed, explained a lot, especially after I shared it with my neurologist. “Why does the water feel like needles on my skin?” It’s a thing, and it is so very real for me, some days a shower is all I can do.

The spoon theory is the best way to describe how I feel on a daily basis. Some people can wake up with a handful of spoons, and use them for each task, brushing teeth, showering, styling their hair, doing their makeup, making breakfast, working, and so on and so on. For people who have Chronic Systemic Illness, I’m lucky if I wake up with five spoons or less. I know other’s just like that as well. So we have to spend our spoons VERY wisely on that day. Neuropathy especially small fiber neuropathy is activated in my skin, from extreme temperature fluctuations to something rubbing my skin the wrong way can send me into overdrive and suck up my spoons quickly.

Writing is Therapy/ Journaling is What I Do! image cred: mohamed_hassan/Pixabay

It is definitely not a fun way to live. However, it is my life, and I strive daily to improve my wellbeing and help others in the process of my experience. After all, knowledge is power, and NO ONE can take your education away from you. So as I research to help myself, I share for others. So after four hours of reading and research, here are some up and coming neuropathic pain therapies in clinical trials and studies. If you enjoy the articles, you can follow me as an author once you’ve downloaded and registered the app. Have a great day everyone!

Supercharged Erections

You clicked on this article, so join me in laughing. I’m cracking up at the advertising for Butea Superba…

The fact that advertising for something as awesome as this herb makes me just laugh. To convince people that something is good enough, we have to promise a huge erection. Instead of the fact that it ameliorates (improves) cognition… wrap your mind around that one. It blows me away that erections are more important to our society than our main ECUs (our brains), but then again, you probably didn’t live the demented life like I have.

My focus has solely been the fact that I’m losing family and friends to cognition issues left and right it seems. That there is an epidemic of people that are literally going to leave this earth with Alzheimer’s and Dementia in the near future, but no one is talking about that. After my experience, I’m set out to tell others what I have experienced, and what I have found that helps me. I am an anomaly to science, and even my neurologist says so.

I visited my neurologist post pandemic and hadn’t seen him since 2019. He literally questioned if I was the same patient he had seen before, so I had to SHOW him the photos on my phone, my ID and proof that it was still the same patient he had been treating. He couldn’t believe his eyes, and then encouraged me to “Write that book!” So here I am. Blogging, Researching, and Writing.

“These results indicate that BS (Butea Superba) ameliorates not only cognition dysfunction via normalizing synaptic plasticity-related signaling and facilitating central cholinergic systems but also depression-like behavior via a mechanism differing from that implicated in BS amelioration of cognitive function in OBX animals.”

Mizuki D, Qi Z, Tanaka K, Fujiwara H, Ishikawa T, Higuchi Y, Matsumoto K. Butea superba-induced amelioration of cognitive and emotional deficits in olfactory bulbectomized mice and putative mechanisms underlying its actions. J Pharmacol Sci. 2014;124(4):457-67. doi: 10.1254/jphs.13252fp. Epub 2014 Mar 19. PMID: 24646653.

I’m not a doctor, and I will never claim to be, but after taking it for a day, I feel laser focused. I’m the guinea pig, I’ll continue to do it too. Therefore, you know if something helps you or not. My mission is to heal my brain so that I can get my body back.

Happy Holidays and All The Best

Today I need to take a few minutes and give my readers an update on life. Life has been a struggle for others recently, I have taken time out from writing, authoring, and blogging to actually assist family in their time of need. I actually had to return to my previous position before I became unwell 6…

Mental & Emotional Journey of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia from a patient’s perspective is probably one of the hardest syndromes to navigate. Not only for patients but also for doctors. What was once thought to be a dysfunction of the peripheral muscoskeletal system has now become an obvious disorder of the entire muscoskeletal and peripheral nervous system. This leads to chronic widespread pain,…

Why do we not know about this? Black Seed Oil

A few days ago, I ended up with this lovely sinus migraine. Now remember, my journey is slightly different than most. Mast Cell Activation can make all kinds of things swell and inflame when they are agitated. My ears were feeling clogged, my drainage tubes in my neck hurt, my whole head hurt. Not acetaminophen…
