Mind...Body...Spirit and emotions


 

This was a very rough day for me starting from when I had to work hard to get up from bed and Keep the Shakes from doing massive negative control over  my mind, body, spirt and emotions.  I never experienced such a trauma and it wasn't because of cool temperatures because we are not having such.  I shook like I was sitting in an electroshock device and I had no control.  It continued for a  long time affecting my motor skills and thinking my intention about what I would do about cleansing myself, feeding myself, dressing and such.  I had no control at all except to pray and assume I was in and under a steep mental,  physical trauma.  I made it to my  chair and then couldn't get  up from it and when it finally subsisted later I was unable to rise again, walk again and such. I tried to compare it to being drunk and there is no comparison...I thought I was having a massive stroke or such. I placed myself in my HP's hands and let go absolutely.  I am ready to head off to bed again without expectations about how it will come out again.  The tremors were fierce.  I know I have neurological testing and such coming up but don't know if this is attached to that.  

This  is reminding me of what the fellowship also goes thru and so I am abandoning myself to God as I understand God...God does good for me so I'm letting go absolutely.  Will be back with up dates.   ((((Hugs)))) wink

((((((Jerry))))))) Sounds awful. Glad you were able to share about it here. Prayers that with your higher power's help balance returns. I hope you get restful sleep. Please keep us updated. Keep sharing when you can. We care about you here. Whatever is going on you'll face it head on by leaning on your faith in hp. I know this because I read it here in your shares - HP always at the center. Prayers for the best of outcomes concerning the neurological testing. TT

{{{Jerry}}} OMG, what a frightful thing to go through. I hope it leaves you alone now. May your testing not be canceled or delayed due to the virus.
I have many physical problems myself and have been terrified numerous times. I try my best to turn it over and let go and let God. You have a very strong program and we are all behind you with love, light, and prayers, Lyne

Jerry, I am sorry to hear you had a rough day, and that you were struggling. While mind, body, spirit, chi, core, etc. -- whatever it is one practices, works on and so on -- are all very important; sometimes panic, anxiety, nervous system, and other potential "medical" issues are what becomes prevalent.

I am glad your HP and whatever else got you through the incident in the moment. Independent of your testing... If you wake up and feel fine, I would still contact and go see your doctor ASAP. If those symptoms occur again as they did before...I would go to the emergency room ASAP. The convenient and constant "passive" approach is not an end-all and cure-all, and it does not apply in every situation. Certainly not this one in my opinion.

Feel better and all the best.

This pained my heart to read. I took comfort that you were able to deal with it, by leaning into your faith in your higher power. I hope that you awaken with zero issues and that your appointment is soon.
If this does occur again, it does warrant a 911 call.

Good morning and Mahalo, Thank you very much for all of your attending love and care.  I woke to no shakes much but to complaints from my wife because I had set the house temperature to my needs and not hers.  She is oppositional defiant so it was not unexpected.  I will be getting a room fan and move on from there.

One of the things I got from your care statements was the courage too see the doctors which has rarely been mine as I have most always relied upon the attendance and care of HP for a long time.  My Higher Power has gotten me thru worse than this and has even impressed the doctors in attendance have them state that they don't understand what is going on but...             So why should I not continue what we have learned.   This is how I learned the idea from my Higher Power, "you're no longer hurting ...you're healing" which HE said to me while I was laying in the street after a motorcycle accident. I listened to that statement and let go of fear.  So much of what my MIP family tells me is absent of fear and so I am being attended to by HP.

I am grateful for your ESP and this morning I woke with confidence and peace of mind.

Know that you are loved and appreciated.

(((((Hugs))))) smileaww

I am so sorry to hear of this development. I am also sorry to hear about how the heatwave affected you. Going to the doctor in this pandemic is indeed challenging. I have so much medical issues on hold. I have always found going for tests teally trying. To a certain extent I have some access to my medical records with the clinic I frequent I have nevertheless found the limitations caused by the Covid epidemic extremely trying. Having telephone consults is most certainly very very tedious. I feel I.miss out on a great deal. I have my own blood pressure monitor (I have high blood pressure) and am very mindful of what stress does to my body Your own level of stress lately has been very high. A major move on top of a pandemic. That is way up there. Being able to be in my own home (admittedly in boxes) has been really theraputic for me. What has been most useful is to rest a great deal. Normally an episode like the one you had would open the need for a doctors visit. Unfortunately getting to a visit these days is a comolex obstacle course. My own health is a major priority at the moment. I have neglected myself throughout my life. I have had to get to a point where I know I simply cannot do that anymore under any circumstances
