My bout with FMS/MPS

Imagine having the 24 hour flu, 24 X 7 hours a day...or you learn you're living in a TV episode <enter Twilight Zone Music here> where some huge vehicle runs you down each morning before you tumble out of bed...[replay this same episode over and over again in an infinite loop]...or imagine yet another scenario--you are a helium balloon that does not have quite enough helium to get your "tail" off the ground...and, to top it off, you feel as if you're running out of memory [swapped out] and losing IQ [where did I put those nouns?].

Welcome to my world of Fibromyalgia (FMS)! This is an insidious illness, one that is just beginning to be accepted and understood by the Medical Community. Things that Doctors seem to agree on, are that PWFM (people with FMS) do not get restorative sleep, they have 3 times the substance P in their spine, they have a "disconnect" in their Synapse in the Limbic System of the brain, it is a chronic [read: forever] illness, and it is genetically based [one has to have a gene which makes them predisposed to getting it]. The three things that seem to set it (this FMgene) off, and /or exacerbate FMS are, viral trauma, emotional trauma and/or physical trauma.

Life Purpose Reading

Having trained with Dan Millman , author of the Peaceful Warrior Series (The Way of the Peaceful Warrior & Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior), I have found the system in his book, The Life you Were Born to Live, an invaluable tool in helping people understand more about themselves, and the reason certain themes recur in their lives.

The material from the book, and the personal training I received from Dan, has provided me with a methodology and opportunity to help others identify and clarify issues that deal with their past, present and future path.

In this reading, I work to guide you towards recognizing your personal life patterns, identifying innate talents, abilities and special needs relating to areas of health, livelihood, personality and relationships.
