Have a good one for you, I was having a really good day, I went out and about with my family. Today was having a good day I didn't think about the pain, I didn't think about anything. I come home and I noticed that I'm not having any kind of facial or jaw pain or anywhere else for that matter. And then all of a sudden, it's like it feels too weird for me. It's like it's in some kind of strange way. I kind of wanted to pain back. I guess cause it's Unfamiliar..???did you ever experience this in your recovery??
First of all I want to congratulate you on having a good day. Having a sense of comfort without the pain messages pounding in your head is a big win but from what you’ve shared over the weeks you’re not accustom to this kind of comfort. The mind is an amazing organ, always seeking balance. If your body is usually in pain then that’s your brain’s normal existence. You’ve got to teach it the new normal by celebrating when the pain volume goes down. I went through that phase as my pain finally started fading. I had to practice labeling my more comfortable existence as my “new normal. Over time that need disappeared as my body adjusted to the silenced pain messages.
@@RUDEMASTER First of all I want to congratulate you on having a good day. From what you’ve shared over the weeks it’s unusual for your pain volume to be turned down. The brain is a funny organ, it gets used to the balance of existing with a high volume of pain. When my pain finally started to fade, I had to make a point of labeling my more comfortable state as my “new normal.” Overtime my brain adjusted to not having the pain messages surge throughout my body. By celebrating your more comfortable days, you’re teaching your brain that that’s the way you want to live. This is positive neuroplasticity in action.
