I acted exactly like you describe your sister. My behaviour worsened until I finally started healing. It was really hard for those around me so I feel for your situation. Wanting to help but not being able to. Being treated like !**t. But she needs you. She's in a LOT of pain...

The difference that focusing on the main muscles has made to my life is amazing. Just how much pain and tension I was carrying around because I did not use my body correctly and the decades of trauma that were stored. I can't stress enough how everything stems from Base-Line. pelvic floor...

The following is based on my recovery from over 40 years of pain, and nearly 20 years of depression. My body was wrecked, my range of movement severely reduced. My body tense and restricted with pains and weird sensations everywhere. I learned to use my body correctly and release all the...

It's good your blood-work etc is normal. "fibromyalgia" is a label used for a wide range of pain-related symptoms that are otherwise mysterious. It certainly sounds like you have a lot of muscle pain - "myalgia". Stress on muscles spreads if not corrected. Chronic pain makes you tired...

Learning to use my body better has allowed me to release all the pain and tension I had been carrying around for 40 years. Slowly regaining my natural range of movement and working towards balancing my body. It was all about the muscles I was using - the wrong ones! My body was not balanced...

All movement should be supported by the Base-Line muscles. Our core pillar of strength. ▹Breathe in and up through your nostrils. ▹Breathe out through your mouth. ▹Engage your Base-Line muscles as you inhale. ∗ Begin with your Base pelvic floor muscles.   → Take as many breaths as you need...

The following is based on my recovery from over 40 years of pain, and nearly 20 years of depression: I learned to use my body correctly by focusing on the 5 main muscles of movement. Starting from and always working from my Base-Line muscles. 1. pelvic floor "Base" (actually a group of...

Definitely. Having someone to talk to makes life a bit easier. We are social creatures (even the grumpy amongst us!). Did you find the other forum I suggested? There's lots of activity and support there. I learned to heal and I believe there is a lot you can do to help yourself too. I...

I believe you. It is hard for someone that cares for you to see you in pain. They don't know what to do, and sometimes that translates and seeming not to care. Someone who hasn't experienced it just won't get it. I used to get (internally) annoyed with people saying "oh my back's a...

:smile: You're not alone, I'm not sure what else to say other than keep thinking about your 5 main muscles of movement, starting with your pelvic floor Base and rectus abdominis Line. "Breathing with your Base-Line" is a phrase I've been using. Breathe in and up through your nostrils...

I used to eye up beams wondering if they would support my weight, but I had the feeling if I tried to hang myself my neck wouldn't snap because it was so immobile and stiff. Driving my car towards a wall at high speed, breaking at the last minute because if I didn't die instantly it would...

hi Mollycoop, I remember being in a right state, wanting it all to stop, thinking there was no hope but since my rock bottom I've slowly recovered by learning to use my body correctly. All my issues, physical and mental were because my body was wrecked. I didn't use my main muscles of...

hi Mamacita I'm new to the forum too, I'm recovering from my pain - your story sounds very familiar to me and I believe I know the reason for so many people's pain. All my pain was due to my body being misaligned and imbalanced because I did not use my main muscles of movement, the 5 paired...

The following theory is based on my recovery from a life-time of pain: Base-Line Theory of Human Health and Movement: The Five Main Muscles of Movement and Conscious Proproception. The key to better health. By Leigh S. Blyth BVM&S Our main muscles of movement are the 5 paired (left and...

Hi everybody. I'm new to the forum but very familiar with pain and depression.... This is an excerpt from my website (still under construction but I don't know when it'll ever be finished!) based on my recovery from nearly 20 years of depression and a lifetime of physical pain..... My...
