I have been idle for way too long. I have had so many problems with my computer as of the last year that I have let my blog go by the way side. I am back in business now and ready to get back to writing.
It has been a very hot summer here in Middle Tennessee. I have spent a lot of time inside as the sun and the heat are a culprit for pain in my life. That used to really bother me and make me sad, but I have learned when and what time of day I can be outside and have left the sadness behind. I look at it like I am saving my skin by not being able to lay in the sun anymore:).
We have two new members in our family now. My father-in-law has moved in with us and his sweet dog Blue. It has been an adjustment but he truly seems to love being with us and have seen him smiling a lot as of late. God is good and will continue to work this for His Glory.
I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Keri
About Me
- Pain-Free Journey
- Lets see...I am social person. I love to be around people. I started my career as a Hairstylist in 1987 and was passionate about it until I was no longer able to in 2007. I now manage a hair salon part time and enjoy sharing my knowledge with the stylists that are just starting their careers. I have been married for 16 years and have two boys 19 and 9! They are a tru joy in my life! I have 12 chickens and 1 Rooster. They are a hoot and I love the fresh eggs. I also enjoy reading and cooking. I have something called Thalamic Pain Syndrome. I have been suffering for 5 years now, but it has just been recently that I was diagnosed with this. Oh I have had plenty of " We think this is what is wrong" so to finally know what was causing my chronic pain is a huge relief
Hi, Keri! I just stopped by to see if you had any blog posts I may use again for http://invisibleillnessweek.com - I'd love a submission if you'd like! see "submit article" on the link above.
ReplyDeleteHi. I found your blog while researching something. My journey currently involves helping our youngest who has Down Syndrome and some other issues to have a healthy happy life and also I have right side nerve damage that resulted basically in me feeling like I'm forty on my left side and 65 on my right as I walk. :) But I'm learning alot and healing. I do alot of med. research online. I hadn't heard of Thalamic Pain before that I can recall (yeah I have memory issues too sometimes). I look for natural ways to heal people. By using what God has provided we've been able to help our son alot. I will put a study below. I go to www.pubmed.com alot I will pray for your healing... a miracle or with some other provision from God. He has GOOD plans for you!

Abstract
Extracellular microelectrode method and stereotaxic technique of brain were used to investigate the effects of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae on the discharges of visceral pain in the posterior nucleus of thalamus(po)in cats. Experiments showed that Radix Salvia Miltiorrhizae inhibited the discharges of visceral pain in po, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae acts directly on the peripheral nerve trunk and cannot block its exciting conduction. This suggests that the analgesic effect of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae is exerted via central nervous system.
