RVW - I can't take the meds, because they cause stomach bleeds .. a couple of months ago, I took Ibuprofen for 2 days (Advil), and had a bleed. Damn doctors!
You are so right,, music can soothe... and whatever the mood, hell, listening to Mozart can fix it!
mamo,, it's late, and just saw your reply.. can't take it in, but will tomorrrow -- lol, speaking of pain... can't think straight enough atm... xo :)
my reply to rvw took all the energy I had, I know you will understand ... muah!
Oh, Tal, I didn't realize you aren't able to take pain meds.
RVW - Hey, not to worry, bro!
As an old hippie or perhaps, yippie, I hate big pharma,, so it just means I don't contribute to the MOFO's trust fund.
lol!
Tal- I sent you a PM. It will still be there in the morning. No need to reply. Good nite
Another note to FHN --- You, of all people, can advise me about music... you are the MUSIC MISTRESS OF ALL TIME!
Thanks, Tal. Can you eat dark chocolate and have fresh flowers to look at while you play the happiest music from through out your life? All three release endorphins. Try a triple play. Wild caught salmon always helps me relax. Relaxing helps ease pain.
Remember the saying that music calms the savage beast? It calms the savage baby, too.
I once cared for a three month old little girl. Her mother had not left her before. She answered my ad and asked me to come sit with the baby so she could play tennis. Each time mom would leave, the little girl would cry the entire time her mother was gone. I would always sit and patiently hold her because I knew she was scared.
One time I noticed a transistor radio and so I picked it up, turned it on and tuned into a music station. As soon as the music came on, I mean immediately, this little gal stopped crying. She looked at me and she looked at the radio and she looked back and smiled. From then on we were best buddies. Her mother was amazed that something so simple could soothe her crying daughter. She was relieved that she could go play tennis and not worry or feel guilty about leaving her baby with a sitter.
Here is a very good, easy to follow page about endorphins and music:

Have you heard of Isao Tomita? His music is very otherworldly and entrancing. Here he is doing one of my mother's favorites that she played on the piano when she was hurting emotionally. I recall her playing it from infancy on, late at night after she had put us all to bed. Other than her rendition, this is my favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC_hgl_1R4E
It's so late, and I can't sleep. I also can't form a cognitive thought, due to exhaustion and pain.. what I can say, is that I don't want to sign off without saying that I f*** ing love you, FHN. Yeah, I know, sometimes you love someone, but you aren't good for each other. Just saying, you are always in my heart. And I don't care that xx thousands of people are reading this. You are one special woman, and I totally appreciate you! ..
muah !
