Annie, I've just read you post mentioning about the spine. I have come to realise how important spinal health is in getting good heath. Like you I had an accident - I fell off my bike & knocked myself out in 2006 & now know I damaged my cervical spine, but didn't realise at the time. I have discovered cranio-sacral therapy which is really helping me in my recovery. So much so that I am starting to train in it. I know some chiropractors use it in addition to thier usual treatments as there were several chiros & osteopaths on my course. It is a very gentle therapy, but very healing as it makes you relax deeply & allows the body to heal. It helps with emotional release - but don't ask me how! If you are thinking of trying some physical therapy I would definitely look into this.
Wishing every one a very happy New Year
Christine

Annie,
My CFS also started off with viral labyrinthitis, chiro cannot fix it, there is another condition similar which chiro can help with but its to do with crystals in the inner ear shifting around causing vetigo, labyrinthitis is generally caused by a virus which has attacked the balance nerve in the inner ear, my balance is ok nowdays but was terrible for over 18 months, I used acupuncture and still do and it has helped me tremendously. Ever since then I believe the amygdala has become traumatized due to the extremely stressful symptoms I was constantly having and become very sensitive and thus the CFS cycle. I still think deep relaxation is what will get me to 100%, we have got to get the sympathetic nervous to calm down and get into the parasympathetic state.. Gupta, NLP, Qigong, Yoga, Meditation are the key..

P.S, I also love this forum due to its freedom of speech, I think we need more then just a single technique or method and here we can swap ideas openly and help each other..

Thank you so much for the replies to my Labyrinthitis horrors. I did investigate Cranial several years ago, also acupunture, perhaps it's time to revisit these treatments. Problem is that I can seldom leave the house and find it difficult to make appointments and be able to keep them. Ah well, on we go. I don't really feel anxious these days, I did in the early days of the illness, but perhaps it is running like a steady stream underground. Keeping on with the stops, the faster eft, bits of chigung (sp?) that can be done in bed and the relaxation. I constantly return to Meditation Oasis.com (sorry can't do the link). I find the variety of meditations and the calm and gentle voice sooth me a lot. Sometimes I think, 'my feelings are o.k., I'm not in pain, not tired, but there is something else, I just feel ill,' I wonder what this 'ill' is.

Happy new year everyone!!!!
Danny,
Have you been checked for Pyroluria....20% of depression is caused by it and no one knows about it...lack of B6 and Zinc. Only OZ tests at Tugun hospital.http://www.nutritional-healing.com.au/c ... =Pyroluria Some with CFS have it.

Annie: In this e-book http://arationalapproach.com/ she says that after a virus is gone, the brain "remembers it re symptoms ...the brain becomes aroused thru the negative thoughts of the symproms and fear is born.. Then I guess we unconconsciously stresss and CFS is raises its head. I think the older we are, we have more "events" in life to shift , families divorces etc. So short of taking a blunt instrument to the brain, there seems not much else we can do.

That is why I am doing this therapist stuff that is non talking therapy to see if I can shift something. I read today that simply looking at something we only see 20% and the rest is an unconscious interpretation of it. What are our brains constantly interpreting.?? I too find it near impossible to get to treatments. I dont research any more...just try and expand on Gupta as i know it is on the right track.

So glad you mentioned the girl who had bad effects from EFT. It has been a horrible for me to be in a body that re acted to relaxation....it just cant take it. I went into a dip and did more AR EFt etc and boy never thought I would live to tell the story for about 10 wks..never happened when i started AR.....weird.

Nia the woman I mentioned became able to relax through faster eft sessions. the inablility came from very, very early programming i believe, obviously it wasn't safe to not be on the alert when she was a very small baby. I don't know the details though.
I was struck by lightening once, whilst talking on the phone, the lightening came down and threw me across the room, a friend believes that is why i am ill, brain damage from that.
Oh how we all search on!

I wish everyone who looks at this site a very happy new year, and either a diagnosis and cure for us all as one, or finding our own individual path the health and happiness.

Interessting what you wrote about the woman who may have beeen affected since a baby. I certainly had enough stuff going on then. Unfortunately even EFT left me relaxed and then I panicked. Even the Stress Eraser sent me into a spin. Ken and I bought the breathing device from breathing.com.....hugely interesting site and we both got severe anxiety attacks from it. I never had this before for 2 yrs after starting Gupta....he says brain changing. I am not so sure. I think the shock of your lighning strike will surely have left its mark. However when you read "the brain that changes itself" book, it seems easy to to retrain the brain. We have done so much in this area you would think we would crack it eventually. I am so much better sticking to the AR ....will never leave it.
