Day 5 _time out......Thumbs up for Ketamine treatment

So today is day 5 and I get to enjoy some fresh air family and friends for the weekend priof to my re-admittance for another 5 days of Physical rehabilitation and  Biofeedback. Last night was unsettled with total disorientation upon me.Firstly I was unsure while the walls had closed in closer to me,wy I felt my cat walking on my bed but could not find her for her evening snuggle and pat. Really I was slightly overcome  with some  moments of not knowing where I was or why I was doing.......All very distant .


AM  Able to enjoy  a weekend with loving family before spending another week indoors.The gardens here are so  lovely and serene.......It is here I will take stock of the week that has been.....

Through my journey this past week I was educated around a couple of specific topics that I felt will be invaluable in moving forward a positive way.
Thanks Aidan for this........oh and I think you look a bit like James Blunt......but that could be the Ketamine·?


*Pheripheral Sensation
More receptors are produced in peripheral nerves
Therefore,Less stimulation is needed to activate nerve receptors
Sometimes nerves are so sensitive that even touch fuses pin
The result is more dangerous messages sent to the spinal cord

*Centro Sensitisation
Nerves in the spinal cord produce more receptors and they remain open longer to al
low more messages to be transmitted.
Therefore....danger messages are amplified in the spinal chord.

I would suggest anyone with Fibromyalgia symptoms to check out the following book :
Butler,D,& Moseley,  G .L.  Explain Pain
