For what it's worth, the whole "it's gotta get worse before it gets better thing" really rings true to me, because we see that in yoga a LOT. Any time someone comes in with any kind of chronic misalignment in their body - scoliosis, for example - the yoga is gonna hurt and make them sore, because they have so many changes to go through in their body. Everything has to shift to an even more uncomfortable place while it's on its way back to the right place! Change hurts. But you can't improve without it....<br /><br />Apparently in Ayurvedic medicine (which I know next-to-nothing about), there's a basic principle that "pain kills the pain." It's a different approach, and not intuitive at first, but it makes a lot of sense.<br /><br />Sending good vibrations. :)thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871234243944023172.post-12312043980738496382010-09-18T01:18:44.531-04:002010-09-18T01:18:44.531-04:00does alcohol help? i kid, i kid. ok, well sort o...does alcohol help? i kid, i kid. ok, well sort of kidding.<br /><br />sending over good vibes and some dinuguan :) hope you feel better soon!Lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564817263257497461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871234243944023172.post-74853512771035674842010-09-18T01:07:00.200-04:002010-09-18T01:07:00.200-04:00Happy, happy Friday!

And then if you get better, you can go back to the S&M route she was giving you before ;-) <br /><br />Seriously, though, I'm sorry to hear you're so incredibly stiff and in pain. The sensitivity to everything makes me think of fibro. Hope it's not that bad...Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888081929539943621noreply@blogger.com
