Today was day 2 of the bad flare up. I figure out the reason behind my breathing attack yesterday. It was due to the fact that my adrenal supplement ran out last week and had not came in yet. I had not taken it for 5 days and really needed it. My hubby took me to the chiropractor today to pick up the adrenal supplements that just came in and got my neck adjusted from the flare.
My chiropractor told my husband to come and look how far my neck was out of its occiput socket. He said each time you flare your autonomic nervous system automatically tightens the muscles in the shoulder and neck and then pull the socket out which results in the pinching of nerves in the top of your neck. He said is causes a horrible migraine each time that will not go away, no matter what you take until it gets adjusted. It takes about 12 hours after the adjustment for the headache to completely go away due to all the swelling. This happens about once or twice each week depending on the severity of the flare.
I am grateful to find relief from the chiropractor for my pain. I have an appointment tomorrow with my homeopathic/natural-path doctor. I am optimistic that we can find some natural remedy to help with these attacks.
I know that going the natural route can take much longer and it requires a great deal of patience, but I do feel better on my good days and I am so very grateful to not have to add to my problems with any horrible side effects.
I know I must keep my chin up through it all and not get discouraged or give up on the process of finding relief. I know if I trust in the Lord through out this process and do all I can do, than I know he will lead and guide me to what will help me find relief.
