About Me
originally from Minnesota - met hubby in CA, lived upstate NY 20+ yrs, moved back to CA after oldest of 3 (daughter) graduated high school and was secure in 1st yr at Culinary Institute (CIA for those of us with a sense of humor) - eventually moved to Carson City, NV (BEAUTIOUS skies, mtns, views) - injured as a nurse, then had surgery, now trusting in the next phase to best utilize my potential and keep on learning on this amazing, kinda scary yet exciting journey..
Interests
nature/gardening, children, holistic/herbalistic healthcare/treatments, 'green' living, minimalist environmental impact, and an amazing draw to energy studies - OUR energy - and how the way we use it (negative or positive) influences our relationships, health - everything!

Support Groups
Close Chronic Pain
degenerative discs, neck injury, just had cervical fusion C3-C6
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- purging - end up exhausted, laughing and finally 'surrender' and nap
- Lidoderm Working / Worked
- when the sharp pains come to my neck in very localized areas, its the best
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- strengthening core muscles is the hardest (old abd. surgeries make it a weak place) but SO necessary!
- Spinal Fusion Somewhat Helpful
- did relieve weakness, but now nerve damage
Close Back Pain
neck and lumbar issues: degenerative discs, whiplash, injury at work (a nurse)
Treatments
- Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- Epidural Injection Not Working
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- Ibuprofen Not Working
Open Ankylosing Spondylitis
always told had degenerative disc issues - but MRI showed the truth - dr had NOTHING to offer and had in fact denied it at first (looking at an Xray) - says I just have to live with it and seek treatment when it 'gets bad' - had neck injury and cervical fusion C3-C6 and they were able to relieve alot of the issues - but I've been told NOTHING about meds available - do I need a specialist?
Treatments
- Massage Working / Worked
- massage helps temporarily, also warm packs and keeping up with my yoga - ANY stretching (even when painful) seems to help
- Spinal Fusion Working / Worked
- obvious freeing of spinal cord - immediate relief
