Muscular Tension Headaches

I did, however, look as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my back.

Sadly, that was all pre-fibro. If I had it done now, I'd most likely black out. Of course, this is said without having scraped up the courage to give it a shot.

I swear I had an out of body experience when I had that massage. Ten minutes into it and I was gone...I had never experienced anything like that in my life. When I was finished, I was very tired. Funny because I had laid motionless for 1hr except for the getting pushed and kneaded like a bread dough . The energy level increase was fantastic.

I'm so sorry to hear about the fibro, have you tried MSM and did it work for you?

What is "MSM"?

MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane. However, this name is a bit confusing to some people, since there is no methane in the compound. The more proper chemical name for MSM is dimethyl sulfone.

I had to lookup fibro when I saw it in your earlier post, and I ran across this webpage of another fibro sufferer.

I read her page and she said she had found relief using MSM.

Thank you, helix. *huge hug*
When I read her "A letter to a friend, I think" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I log a lot of time in the kitchen muttering "I got up for something...what was it?" My ever-present notebook prevents me from making a pain pill mistake. I write down the time and dosage every time I take them. (It was 11:00 AM today.) Forgetting that you got up to make coffee and instead fed the cat is one thing. Forgetting when you took Vicodin and taking it again is quite another indeed.

Trivia alert: Glucosamine Chondroitin, which works very well for several things, was first developed by veterenarians to treat arthritis in dogs. Then they discovered it helped people as well. (Sold as an over-the-counter supplement; take with food; Walmart has the best prices.)
