As a chronic pain sufferer who's done all the things, I'm here to tell you there isn't much that works for other types/sites of pain either. Don't get me started on opioids which are now all but inaccessible for those who really need them.
Evening, Twters.
Genuinely having a tough time of it. House hunting is not going well, though we've 3 more viewings lined up for tomorrow.
The news about #pip is terrifying - PIP makes up about 33% of my income so losing it will be devastating, and there's not a lot I can do about it as my condition fluctuates. I'm having a really tough day during a really tough time, and I'm about ready to crawl into bed and not emerge again til it's all better.
I used to treat my migraines with heat and it was meh
Then I switched to ice packs and that has helped.
This morning, for funzies, I thought I’d try go straight to the source and keep an ice cube in my mouth and induce brain freeze like from slushee.
And to my total surprise, before it was melted, my migraine had VERY much subsided!
Thankful for the relief, I’ll definitely be doing that one again!
Any other #migraine folks try this one simple trick that doctors hate?
50 years ago, Tim Bliss and Terje Lømo worked in the Oslo lab of the late neuroscientist Per Andersen, where they made a momentous discovery: the fact that when a neuron signals to another neuron frequently enough, the second one will later respond more strongly to new signals for hours afterwards. The phenomenon is called long-term potentiation (LTP) and it’s fundamental to how we learn and remember. @KnowableMag talked to Bliss and Lømo about their discovery, and to other neuroscientists about how they’re applying knowledge about LTP to their research about memory disorders, chronic pain and more.

Morning Twters.
Been awake since 3,30 this morning with dreadful nerve pain in my leg. I've taken as much medication as I can, which has just about taken the edge off it, but has also made me quite woozy and thick headed (thanks, opioids).
Need to ring the gp at 8 to do a medication review anyway, then I will try to get some more sleep.
I hope you all have a much better start to your days!
BIG HEMP continues to hype CBD extracts from fertilizer-ladden mechanized crops that carry heavy metals and toxins, as hemp is one heck of a bioaccumulator.
The clean and effective ancestral cannabic medicine is made from artisanal organic flower, and darn simple to prepare at home for many health conditions.
In the post linked I explain all the scientifically proven properties of cannabis tea made from dry "recreative" flower.
It produces little to no high, since its THCa and CBDa based (acidic raw versions of THC and CBD).
