I Really Really Really Nead Very Very Very Good Vibes, Please!!!

So sorry!! Sending prayers to you and keeping our paws crossed. Hang in there girl!

Sending prayers your way! I hope it's nothing serious and is easily treatable.

Sesselja, Sorry you were scared, I'm praying it was nothing serious!

I am glad you are doing ok now lets hope all will be ok now .

Sending good vibes and positive thoughts your way.

Good luck. Hope things are well with you and that things turn out well with the results.

Sending good vibes and prayers for positive results!

I will definitely be praying very hard for you. I hope everything is okay hon.

Pollyanna-

Any news on your test results yet?

Sorry to keep you all waiting...I just came to check in after quite some time, I didn´t mean to dissapear.

Lately I have been so very busy, and aslo so very over tired so I have not had the energy to write or stay on the computer.

The test results have come back, with normal results!

The dr. suggestion is severe swollen muscles (or what is it called?), that can affect the nerves in the hands and even the small nerves in the face when it´s very bad. He suggested I took a look at how I use the body, and try to change some, if my pillow was good enough, try to relax and maybe take some yoga and maybe some physical therapy will be nessicery. My stress and anxiety is not helping, but some yoga and workout will help that as well.

I plan to start my new life tomorrow! Every now and then I take a yoga class, and love it, it´s just hard to get off my but and go there, but now it´s doctors orders, so I´ll try harder...

Sesselja - I was so worried for you! I am glad that it is just the muscles. Yoga is a great idea for relaxation! I can imagine you must be stressed. Why not see if there is a massage school in your area - they normally are cheaper - there is one in my area that charges $20 an hour because they are students, but they are still good enough.

Normal Results That is great news! We will all give you the boost you need to get to the Yoga classes

Phew! I'm so relieved and happy for you!!
Best wishes to you in your pursuit of relaxation. Yoga is a great start. Walking is also very good. . . . as is massage. . . listening to relaxation tapes. . . . sometimes medicine to help with anxiety (maybe you can ask your doctor). Maybe you are not getting a restful night's sleep? Sleep deprivation can aggravate the symptoms.

Thanks for getting back to us with an update !!

Thank goodness for the good results!

I feel so much better when doing yoga regularly - I think it helps for so many things. Hopefully it will help you feel better too!

Glad to hear your tests were normal. Yoga is such a great way to relax and tune in to your body.

I'm so glad it's not serious!

If the nerve tension is coming from muscle pressure, you might want to try to find a massage therapist skilled in myofascial release. I've been having trouble for a while now, and finally found a good one - sometimes it can be a little uncomfortable & I'll be sore after a session, but it really makes a difference, rather than the temporary feel-good of a regular massage.

Relaxation and meditation can help make you more aware of your body, so you know when to rest, and can respect your limits, in addition to improving your posture.

There's a lady in Canada who does something called Classical Stretch that's GREAT for loosening up a tight upper body, and correcting your posture from hours of computing. www.classicalstretch.com
Her shows air on some public television stations.

I don't know if your problems are related to repetitive strain, but this is a great website resource for that: www.rsiprogram.com

I hope you're better soon!

Great to hear the positive results.

well that is great news . I am happy it was nothing els .

Pollyanna, that is GREAT news! I am so glad to hear it. Woohoo! Yup, you'll have to schedule more yoga classes.

Pollyanna this is the first time I've seen this post and when I read it from beginning to end I must say that I was terribly worried for you. Then I read the results and I breathed a sigh of relief. It could have been anything Neurological and those tests can be scary but they are so very helpful.

I'm glad to hear that your Dr. has suggested Yoga and that you're going to try harder to get your butt to class. I don't know if you've ever heard of Tai Chi but it's also an excellent way to relax and tone your muscles. It's also very beautiful to watch as it's a series of moves that look like a ballet. See if they have any Tai Chi classes where you live I think that you will really like them!

I'm glad that you're alright!

I am so glad to hear that! Whew!!!!
