It manifested after a bout with MRSA. There was wide spead pain, migrating or wandering pain and all the other associated PAIN. But as I look back on it the most significant thing is that the inital onset of my Fibrosis was exactly similar to the pain levels and pain location right after a serious motorcylce accident that occured 32 years before. Severe back pain, leg and arm pain disseminationg from my lower and upper back. Can pain be embeded in the brain as memory? A confusion thing happened when I was in the military. One night while I was ironing my uniforms my buddies came back from a night of liberty. They were a bit drunk and obnoxious so I decided to play a game on them. I traded the hot iron I was using for a new and very cold one I had sitting in my footlocker, When my friend came back in the room from his shower I pretended to be ironing. I feigned some aurguement and proceed to put the iron on him. He turned his back and I pushed the iron onto him and he screamed. I laughed because I knew what was going on. But when he continued to scream I noticed his back had a mark the trace of the iron. And it was blistering. A clinical definition of a burn; the rapid transfer of fluid from tissue. Yes he was burned with a cold iron yet the attending physician knew this as possible. Our brain is a complex computer.They say we have muscle memory, can this pain memory be a system of electrical traces in the brain. When the Fibro is acting it spews out impluses similar to previous pain activity that was stored. Possible of all things. Hence wandering pain in diffent quandrants. Also affecting hormone control and other CNS functions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892158149843971056.post-30050254375581073642011-04-12T14:28:20.535-04:002011-04-12T14:28:20.535-04:00Great post and article!

It really was amazing when I worked for a while with a body-centered therapist how moving my body in certain ways would bring up emotions I wasn't aware I was still feeling - sometimes from trauma decades earlier. Releasing these almost always brought me some level of symptom relief.Tamara (TC) Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633350990983632539noreply@blogger.com
