This has been the biggest lesson learned. How to deal with all sorts of pain, sober. I have heard nightmare stories from all types of people of their
recovery and all the opiates taken to get through the pain. Addictions
hard to kick and side effects. Enough childhood side effects, no
thanks!
I was given Oxycodone & Muscle Relaxers in the hospital for the two day visit and was off of them after returning home. I began an herbal tea for pain management. My vision got blurry which I found later was a side effect of M.Relaxers. The tea was not the easiest in the beginning to regulate. On day 5 the tea could not be made. This was a process in letting go of beliefs which resulted in another 2 day of Oxy. After this I was bawling and was determined to get the pain tea management down. "We" did it. I had an amazing crew of women preparing for me with instructions from a new herbalist teacher. He had training with David Hoffman and herbalist for over 20 years in Arizona. I am blessed, thank you Ronald!! Thank You Ladies for preparing and saving my whole body!
I was also prescribed an injection daily to prevent a blood clot which I did not fill. Warned by doctors that there were high risks in my case and insisted I at least take aspirin. I was forced to buy these meds which I still have bottles barely touched. I only took aspirin on the days I had no tea, 2 days total. I never had signs of blood clots, without their drugs
I drank Holistic Alternatives, herbal pain tea, every hour. This was also a natural aspirin, White Willow Bark. The nurses even a week later warned, " The herbs are non-standardized, how will you know how much and ...blah.blah blah.." My first check up with Surgeon, Dr. Rossi, "Phenomenal" as he looked at X-Rays and removed the staples. All was well. No swelling, like I had for 5 days before I began the high doses of Camu Camu, African Vitamin C. I took 3,000 mg daily~ I am still on that amount most days plus power tonic Shakes!
During this entire process, luckily I had learned a new kinesiology technique that worked for me. Amazing to find out what my body wants/needs at any given moment for any life-threatening question, just by asking it. I learned this through a Medical Intuitive working with me last year. Blessed!! I asked my body for how much pain tea, what body symptoms were trying to communicate to me. I learned to listen and trust by following messages.
This journey of Radical Recovery has been all about learning my body, getting to know thyself. No doctor or person can really know how to treat you like your own body signals. I know a lady that has been taking too much thyroid meds for a few years now. Her first check up after they put her on them, showed they were giving her too much. She was having symptoms and went to have it checked out.
I hope that everyone will learn to use this muscle testing and or take more responsibility for their health with preventive measures as well. If this is not possible there are professionals in Holistic Health, Naturopaths, etc in this field to test body for solutions in health concerns.Especially in cases where meds are prescribed without knowing what is actually causing the body imbalance. Every body is unique. We get to really learn about this~It can save lives and prevent irreplaceable side effects.
Are we questioning our Doctors? Are we challenging them to all the Holistic Treatments that have worked for thousands of years, or just going right along like we have no choice?
Living Limitless Life~~
Namaste
