BackToLife - the imaging I had was something else but I cannot remember what it's called other than it was a very special "one-of-a-kind" imaging with Dr. James Collins (radiologist) at UCLA. It is...
I used about two tablespoons of MM coconut oil on the back of my head and neck (topically on skin). It started to work almost immediately, and has lifted the heaviness of pain a great deal... Altho I...
Yes. And I was told by a doctor that the reason he doesnot Like to prescribe MM is because the effects are so different in every person, unpredictable. However... I find the same with different kinds...
Ok. Yes. I just sent an email to somebody with the recipe. I think I sent it to Vickie. Thanks....
Today I am going to try herb coconut oil - just topical on point of injury, back of head and spine and shoulders. I am totally out of the pain meds that work best for me (have had major challenge...
Well, as Suzie said, L5 area may be it, closer to the sacrum. But my mom's injury worsened over time and I know her L1 slipped a disk now. My mom never got proper care. She could not get an MRi for...
ThankYou what a great idea Vickie. I know the local community program number, as they have sent volunteers to help me. I will reach out to them on Monday and see about volunteering to connect with...

Hey Quincy thanks. That's awesome about Gary Johnson....
I feel so sad today. I am so alone. I live in such a mess. Canteven brush my teeth today. Which is normal for me. Have to choose what is possible. Bare minimum. Such pain my whole spine is blown out...
BackToLife - yea the MM did get me moving in good yoga positions tho it blew me out in more pain cause of the movement however I know the movement is good for me. I will try to look into the kind...
Sorry I just now see you wanted people to stop posting on this thread....
Hi. My injury is at my C-1, brainstem, and entire upper torso however my mom injured her L-1 and sacrum around 13 years ago. She has had severe chronic pain since. She slipped and fell on ice and...
Abilene. ThankYou for the warm welcome. I am grateful to be here!...
I know what it feels like to feel that much pain. A mental health therapist is VERY helpful. When my mind has begged for death, I turn it over to God. We suffer through things to experience it. I've...
Hi Brucen. I just found this group too. So welcome! I suggest finding an osteopathic doctor. They are equal to M.D. - just a whole different approach, based on body structure. They are very hands on,...
Dixie. ThankYou for reaching out too. All of you. I am truly grateful to have found this support system. It is amazing to be able to interact with others who understand what it is like to live in...
Rick! Thank you so much. Yes. I've needed this kind of interaction for support. I've been going to a brain injury support group since the first year of my injury, tho it is very hard for me to...
Vickie thankYou so much. I look forward to hearing more and networking here with everyone. Looking for inspiration - to give and get....
ThankYou Suzie. I am grateful to have found this forum....
Dear Mandi, SO sorry about the pain and difficulty you are experiencing. I can so relate, to doctors not knowing the problem, and unmanageable pain levels. My suggestion to you, I agree with Suzie,...
I know MM works for some people. My mom uses it in tincture form (which she makes herself) for a chronic pain back injury. Sometimes her pain is too big for the MM to handle, but it is the only thing...
ThankYou SO much M.!...
Wow. This is my third attempt to make a post. I have trouble doing this. But it is important. So I will keep trying. I fell backwards on my head, neck, and shoulders over four years ago. I was...
