I 've been under alot of STRESS lately…my mom has pneumonia and its very sick…please help!!! thank u all <3
Hi Delia, I notice a very strong association between being stressed and increased pain. I had my MVD 3 1/2 months ago and still on Gabapentin at a lower dose than before. I have planned to taper off but then when something stressful happens, like a sinus cold, or too much going on at home, suddenly pain occurs, then seems to fade when the stress level is lowered. So, yes, with your mom being sick, there is definitely a connection. Also, I get pains and pinches all over my mouth and head at times and then they go away so I just try to ignore them.. I think we all need to try to calm down, maybe meditate or do Yoga or exercise in some way. At least that is what I am doing! Hope this helps, Mary
Thank u MaryHeler fir ur kind words…I’m always afraid of the things that happen to me about tn my pains were so horribles that any kind of pinch makes me nervous…bt u r right stress is bad…even though I try to control it sometimes is over me…but still I’ll keep on trying …thank u again…we’ll be ontouch ok…
I don't really have anything to suggest other than finding some way to help relieve your daily stress. I know yoga, meditation, and/or exercise helps many. I hope you find something that works for you. Perhaps venting your feelings and thoughts on this site will help. There are many of us who understand and care about you.
I am 5 months post MVD and continue to be pain free & not a day goes by that I don't give thanks to God for where I am now.
Keep the faith.
