"Had an interesting experience related to this topic when the doctors gave me a trial on Ketamine to see if I could mentally dissociate from my pain....
As I faded into the mental state under the drug, I first felt myself floating within the room,…"

Biofeedback anyone?
I wanted to post about a fantastic device that I own that has really helped me. It's called an emWave PSR (or Personal Stress Relieved) and there is also a software version of it that you can use…Continue

He has student insurance and it is an HMO so he is limited on who he can see. He had surgery at UIC and can only…"

Wisconsin & Surrounding States
Like other location-based groups, I'd love to know who lives in or around Wisconsin. Residents of Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois are invited!

Relentless Agony, aka "Joe" commented on Relentless Agony, aka "Joe"'s group Songwriters, Poets, & Musicians"Do you now or have you considered getting your work published at all? It might be neat to try and organize a book made up of poems about both suffering and healing by those in chronic pain for those in chronic pain."
Sandy commented on Relentless Agony, aka "Joe"'s group Songwriters, Poets, & Musicians"Hi! I love to write - poetry, songs... greeting cards... LOL. I also play the guitar - although I'm not good at all - I just totally enjoy it. I sing whenever the radio is on - and sometimes when it's not. Love music - it makes my soul…"

Do you use audio art to express yourself or to help cope with your pain?
Relentless Agony, aka "Joe" commented on Relentless Agony, aka "Joe"'s group Wisconsin & Surrounding States"Currently reside in Manitowoc, Wisconsin about 30 miles southeast of Green Bay, but have also lived in Sheboygan, La Crosse, and Waukesha areas of Wisconsin and both Schaumburg and Waukegan areas of Illinois.
My pain doctor, pain psychologist, and…"
Relentless Agony, aka "Joe" added a discussion to the group Songwriters, Poets, & MusiciansYour art form preference?
Personally, I'm not much into poetry or poetry reading, but I have converted a few of songs into poems to post on a web site, but the music part of my songs is just as important to me as the lyrics, so my tendencies are to write up lyrics to a song first and then find music that fits and then adjust the lyrics to better fit into the song's overall tempo and scheme.My preferred musical genre is fast-paced, heavy metal (thrash, if you know the difference between sub-genres) although I have…See More
Relentless Agony, aka "Joe" replied to Nicole Hemmenway's discussion Holiday Time"Congratulations on making your first big step of faith, April! I can personally testify that my faith in Christ is the primary factor in my ability to endure my hardest moments. I also believe in a real Satan and that you may have extra pain and/or…"
Relentless Agony, aka "Joe" replied to Nicole Hemmenway's discussion The question we are all asked multiple times a day: "How are you doing?""Even with my own doctors (or more specifically, the residents who come in for my initial eval and consult every visit), I will just automatically say that I am "good" and wait to see their reaction.
For 95% of the people out there,…"

I wanted to post about a fantastic device that I own that has really helped me. It's called an emWave PSR (or Personal Stress Relieved) and there is also a software version of it that you can use through your computer which is a little more sophisticated, but is not as convenient or portable.The concept behind these biofeedback instruments is that we actually do have some neural cells that are connected to our hearts and when the nerves in our brain are not in sync with the nerves in our heart,…See More

UpZ and DownZ -- How do we find a way out of the darkness? How can we support each other?
Ugh, today is a sluggish, crappy day.
No, there's nothing particularly different about it when compared to yesterday, but then the state of BEING in a funk is not nearly as important finding the way to GET OUT of being there.
Ahh, there were times in my life, when I would look at people who were depressed and want to seize them by both shoulders and shake the funk out of them! Kinda like a "C'mon! Snap out of it!" shake to rattle… Continue

Nicole Hemmenway said… - Oh, I didn't answer your questions! My book is out; the release date was April 6. With that said, it might take a few more weeks before bookstores have it on their shelves. People usually include the name they want the book autographed to or if they have a special message they want me to write...otherwise, I write something that inspired me during my own journey.
