Sorry you had to go through that today.  I have been told that by a dr before and I wonder with some of the things we go through in life how that is possible  but all we can do is try.  I am sure glad to hear that you are feeling better though.

I don't have stress myself, but I have seen some free ebooks about it. Have you read any?

I hear ya and can sympathize since I too suffer with migraines as well as sinus problems.  Seems like some days nothing works.  Hope you get to feeling better.

Sorry you had a bad day.  Waiting in the ER didn't help either.  I hope you are feeling better now.

Hope you feel better. The emergency room sucks when you have to wait a long time.  I have been there many times with family.
The 8 hour trips were the worst.

Excuse me, oldbuddy. No stress? 

Doesn't that come naturally with being alive and all?

I have a friend that doesn't handle stress well.  With all she has going on I don't know that I'd handle it well myself.  I do know from experience that when I eat healthier, exercise and get involved at Church... most of the stress that comes my way is tolerated easier.

Hope you feel better....  hope everyone has a nice weekend.

hope you're all better now.  gotta love how everyone says get rid of stress but no one offers ways to do that!

Dealing with pain and stress is what I do.  The doctor wants me to talk to someone to help with my anxiety issues and stress but i have not gone.  I have chronic pain, Fibromyalga (I don't know how to spell it and neither does my spell check.
and the anxiety is horrible but I don't know what to do.  I know I am tired of take all these medications I have to take.

Rather than rely on medical professionals, in a situation like that, I'd self prescribe.  B complex helps us deal with stress and calcium is a natural pain reliever and tranquilizer.  If your body can tolerate dairy, you can get B vitamins and calcium from milk.  You might also consider taking a mega dose in a situation like what you've described.

I would take a multivitamin, 10 tablets of B complex and 10 tablets of Caltrate plus D.  The calcium with vitamin D will also help you sleep it off.  Your body will thank you and you'll save yourself a trip to the ER.

I would say eating better would help.  I have had six orthopedic surgeries that left me with pain all over.  A drastic change in my diet...and every one of those pains is gone!!!

You can fully get rid of stress. Stress is a part of everyone's every day life. When I get really stressed out sometime I will write about it. I feel like maybe if I get it out of my head and on to the paper it can help.
