I cannot give medical advice, but I can tell you that any kind of pain can cause us to tense muscles and hold them in that position. That creates an environment rich for developing myofascial trigger points. Trigger points in the neck can sustain a headache beyond its normal course. As you know restless leg and periodic limb movement are thought to be due to a mix up in the brain, but this too can be aggravated or sustained by trigger points in our muscles, particularly the legs and feet. Here is an article I wrote on myofascial trigger points and chronic pain. It has several links, including some articles I wrote for Health Central. Wishing you the best. http://www.celestecooper.com/2015/07/myofascial-trigger-points-and-chronic.html#.Wvm8qogvzIWThe Pained Ink Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495729147432131238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069533709334209690.post-6456377264176983242018-05-11T07:33:55.346-07:002018-05-11T07:33:55.346-07:00I always enjoy reading your informative posts.

If you decide to give Oska a try, be sure to use my #sponsor code CCRN60 at OskaWellness.com check out. You will get $55 off. There is a 30 day money back guarantee, too. They just had their first clinical trial specifically on Oska published. <br /><br />It is my pleasure to serve all those who take this journey with me. I learn so much about the plight of so many, professional and personal and I pick up tidbits to help myself in the process. As my friend, Myra Christopher, PAINSproject.org always says, onward and upward.<br /><br />Going on a nice vacation very soon. Hoping to pick up some nice shots to share.

As so many before me, first I want you to know specifically that I am grateful that you are doing what you can to help us learn of new and effective developments in pain relief technologies. It impresses me that the Oska Pulse seems to function in that “biologically gentle” treatment realm I’d mentioned, in that: <br />1- it “acts by massaging inflammatory cells, causing them to dissipate”... <br />2- the “Oska Pulse mimics the natural electric signals produced by the body to promote recovery”...<br />3- “the Oska Pulse PEMF device works to release cellular toxins that have accumulated around inflamed areas”... <br />4- the “Oska Pulse uses optimized PEMF to RESTORE the electrical potential cells need to receive nutrients and oxygen, which stimulates cellular regeneration—relieving<br />pain, and activating the body’s natural recovery process”...<br />...and that it addresses both acute AND chronic pain issues. All of this sounds very promising for my wife and I look to obtain a unit in a couple months. Like you’d said, we keep searching until we find “an”, if not”the” answer to the pain relief problem. Again, we thank you and keep up your fine work Celeste!...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147054300152217374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069533709334209690.post-27562798972119430082018-02-25T11:38:57.168-08:002018-02-25T11:38:57.168-08:00...thanks again, Celeste.

I hope that my comments are helpful to others, and your placing them in a blog to be another ember to the moral fire that’s developing and building the necessary revolution in the sad monetarily and politically- bent state of our current overpriced and underperforming (for the patients) “healthcare” regime. So many examples (even court cases) in this nations’ medical history that have demonstrated safe/effective treatments, that were only to be quashed by those same aforementioned “shot callers”. And as a result, this is the current, pathetic, “income-driven” system by which these shot callers choose for us to live-and-die, with so much mass financial hardship, disappointment and suffering to the patients and their families in the interim. Again, such shame. I will visit the advocates corner and thanks for that suggestion. Congrats on your success with Oska Pulse. I imagine how wonderful it can be to attain “blessed, sweet relief.” Once upon a time my family shared your triumph- until the system operators decided to snatch it away, label us as irresponsible abusers (without merit) and subject us to a future of intense pain, a variety of restrictive, money-driven insurance providers, inattentive- apathetic “AND ABUSIVE- medical doctors”, and ridiculous- increased out-of-pocket expense. What is the purpose of all this taxation, “national defense”? If I had access to those national defense funds, there would be a significantly greater number of healthy, happy and wiser citizens in this country.

With your permission, Thank you for speaking up on your wife’s behalf, it means a lot to all of us in the pain community. As a nurse, I believe health and illness should be visualized through a holistic lens. I write a lot about integrative care, which I define as “Whatever works”! No two of us are alike, even more reason to embrace all opportunities to ease our pain. We certainly don’t know unless we try and every once in a while, we hit on something that helps without a boatload of side effects. Since you commented on this particular blog, I need to say that for me, it is the Oska Pulse. <br /><br />I am a #sponsor for this PEMF devise because Oska has helped me significantly. It has all but cured the pain from tears in my shoulders. I turned my knee a few weeks ago and started Oska treatments. Today, NO PAIN! My neck is still resisting, but it has helped my low back, I will take the trade off. It doesn’t work right away on me, and doesn’t on most, so sticking with it is imperative to decide if it is or is not helping. <br /><br />I urge you to click on the header tab “Advocates Corner: Your Rights and Resources”.<br /><br />Once again, thank you for your support.

That drug, is the OPIOD, Methadone. Since the 2012 nationwide- group punishment debacle began, my wife’s health and quality of life, has taken a miserable turn for the worse. No sane person wants to live a life of drug dependence. But those “shot-callers” on their high horses need to realize that the real “bogey-man” in the room is their one size fits all mass panic attack, that is causing dire harm to completely responsible, prescribed patients. This is no insignificant matter, as is typical, the US populace tolerates in LOUD SILENCE, these “shot-callers” to make the end line consumer out to be the abuse problem, while avoiding applying the same (or harsher) “corrective measures” to the “manufacturing and supply chain” end, from where this abuse problem proliferates. Such shame. Not to diminish the potential and the demonstrated viability of “alternative” chronic and acute pain relief modalities, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, Quell, Oska Pulse, NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION, cannabinoids and what have you, but if you’ve walked in the shoes or alongside any of these surprisingly enduring people, then you know careful, “immediate relief” (from whatever form it is derived) from debilitating pain is what allows a deep breath and sigh of relief to be taken, and primes a sufferer’s interest in and openness to such modalities as may offer a more biologically gentle or even “corrective- alternative” treatment option(s) toward pain symptoms AND their underlying condition(s). Thank you for your article on the Oska PEMF device. I feel I’ve learned valuable information. And thank you for offering more than “2” means of joining this dialog.

I got my diagnosis of Fibromyalgia at 26 and learned my thyroid condition was Hashimotos. Was it so hard to explain why my thyroid did what it did all those years ago? I also am sure due to childhood experiences that I have always had Fibromyalgia. It's all connected. It makes so much sense in hindsight, but so frustrating.
