Everything seem weird and unbelievable for ordinary people,for those who have been living with chronic pain,..the illness has taken it's toll on every aspect of they life. As stated before, health and wellness are priceless,most people never know until they lose it.
Living with chronic pain came make these mental conditions worse and vice-versa depression can make pain worse.Many people will also suffer Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder after or before chronic pain.
Family that is supposed to love, care and support you have faced the some pain. Always be positive and self motivaterd in overcome the pain.Below provide some tips and strategies in fighting Chronic Pain Associated with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome- TOC
Strategies for Managing Chronic Pain Associated with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome:
1. Isolate the activities that cause pain and find ways to work around them. At first, every activity seemed to hurt. Over time, I started keeping a journal that had a pictographic representation of myself. Each day I would mark what areas of my arms, hands, and shoulder hurt, and then I would detail my activities for the day. This allowed me to develop a record that was not only useful for taking to doctors appointments but also helped me to isolate patterns of activities that cause the most pain. Personally, the following activities proved to be the most harmful:
A. Typing: Absolutely not possible. Instant pain. Not happening.
Resolution: Voice Recognition Software. Realistically, it is almost impossible to find a job in today's world that does not require some amount of typing. Even the mechanics at the garage use a computer. And yet in less than one minute of typing, I would be experiencing so much pain that it would be difficult to sleep hours later. Eventually I came across a voice recognition software program. At first I did not use this very much, because it is an activity that can make one very self-conscious. As I grew more comfortable with it, though, it became more useful and I increased the library of recognized words through continuous use.
B. Using a mouse: Extreme Pain! This caused sharp pain to radiate up under my jawbone down to my fingertips.
Resolution: Pen Tablet And Arm Braces. On every computer that I use, I have replaced the mouse with a pen tablet. This allows me to push the included pen tablet mouse around to position a cursor, then use the voice recognition software to direct the computer to click or double-click as needed. Used together, I can control a computer without pressing a button (at least mostly). I wear the arm braces to maintain the same position of my hand and wrist relative to my arm. Generally, everything from the elbow down stays in the same place as I push the mouse around on the tablet.
C. Driving: Just as critical to modern day life, but equally debilitating to me.
Resolution: Arm Braces And Automatic Transmission. For years I drove a stick shift, and I loved it. But with the onset of TOS, not only did turning the steering wheel hurt, but shifting gears put a lot of strain on my arms. Since my surgery I have only driven automatics, and I always always always drive with arm braces. Initially finding a set of arm braces that comfortably kept my wrist in position proved difficult. When I finally did locate a pair (made by Med Spec), I continued to use them up to this day. I keep separate pairs at my desk at work, in my car, at my desk at home, and boxes of extras in the closet. I am faced with having to wear these for the rest of my life while using a computer or driving, so I try to stockpile them when I can.
D. Carrying my daughter: This one was the most depressing. After my daughter was born I realized that carrying her around for any length of time really caused problems for me.
Resolution: Typically I would just sit in the floor with her if it was feasible. But there are 1 million times where I just carried her and hurt. And who can blame me, each of you would do the same. One day when I am old and crotchety I will remind her of this and make her take me out for ice cream. I would take holding my daughter and hurting any day over not being able to carry her at all.
E. Sleeping: Prior to acquiring TOS, I slept on my side. Nowadays, if I wake up sleeping on my side, my arms will be numb and will hurt for hours.
Resolution: This one proved difficult to change. After years of conscious effort, I now go to sleep on my back and if I wake up during the night will automatically roll over to lay on my back if I am lying on my side. But I still sometimes wake up lying on my side, and I'm not sure there is much that can be done about it.
2. Keep a positive attitude. OK, that seems campy and glib, but it is hugely important. The bottom line is that if you have TOS there is a chance (when I had surgery, a 60% chance) that surgery will be ineffective or, without surgery, you will not greatly improve for many many years, and possibly not ever. Nerve damage takes a very long time to heal, in the cases when it can heal at all. It was so easy to get locked into a mindset that life had treated me very unfairly and that everyone else continued to live these full, interesting lives while mine had been totally circumscribed. It was hard to see (although now I am able to thankfully) that by being alive at all I was already incredibly lucky. At its worst, there was no way for me to see during my ordeal that I would eventually find ways to work around it and meet a beautiful girl and have a beautiful baby. The more positive attitude you can maintain, the better your chances of being successful in finding ways to live around the pain.
3. Stay Busy. In my experience, especially during the worst times, if I did not stay busy I constantly dwelt on how much I was hurting, or how badly I felt I had been treated by life, etc. This is not conducive to healing. As time passed, I tried to focus less on the things I could no longer do and instead started pouring my energy into things that I could still do and enjoy. This made a big difference in my quality of life, and indirectly in the quality of life of those around me, since it is easier to spend time with a friend who is generally pleasant than a friend who is constantly depressed.
So that's it. If you know someone who has been diagnosed with TOS, try to be patient. If you yourself have TOS or a similar problem which causes chronic pain, hang in there. It is tough at first and takes a little while to adapt, but things really do get better if you put your mind to it.
If you have life a wellness life,congratulation,give your helping hand to those who suffer from TOS or others Dizziness..Thanks for visiting this wellness blog.

16,000 Deaths Annually, How to Avoid
From the desk of The People's Chemist
PC Health Alert: Over-The-Counter (OTC) pain meds are not as safe as you might think...Don't let commonly used pain killers like Tylenol and aspirin seriously damage your liver - forever! Take 6 minutes to learn what your doctor isn't telling you.
Surprising Research Results Confirm Safety and Ultra-Effectiveness of Natural, Fast Acting, Pain Killer!
It was a beautiful Colorado day. I wanted to avoid the daily grind of research and writing. I decided to go mountain biking - minus all the fancy Lycra.
I took my usual endurance supplements and was on the trail in a matter of minutes. Ipod volume on max, I was screaming downhill. It happened in a split second. Over my handlebars I flew, only to bounced off my shoulder - collarbone shattered in half. I hitched a ride home. Called a friend to go back and get my bike.
I healed in 4 weeks with zero medical intervention. And I never swallowed a single OTC pain killer. Instead, I melted pain for sleeping and daily tasks with my own, natural concoction that is non-toxic...Few people realize how damaging common pain killers can be. I'm on a mission to change that. You want to avoid them at all cost.
Is your favorite pain reliever or anti-inflammatory putting your health at serious risk? The people hospitalized last year because of Celebrex, Tylenol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen and other NSAID pain relievers didn't think so either...How many were hospitalized? Try tens of thousands! According to the New England Journal of Medicine NSAIDS killed over 16,000 Americans annually.
Researchers writing for the medical journal Hepatology recently showed that, "acetaminophen [Tylenol] poisoning now accounts for at least 42% of U.S. acute liver failure cases seen at tertiary-care centers [large hospitals] and one third of the deaths."
Even short Term Use Causes Health to Tailspin
According to a recent study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, even short term use of acetaminophen can cause serious health problems for your liver. Healthy participants with no sign of liver failure used acetaminophen at recommended doses for only four days. At the end of the four days, blood tests revealed significant increases in certain liver enzymes which have been shown in the past to be key indicators of serious problems and damage occurring in the liver.
Your liver is your number one weapon against toxic exposure. Just like it wards off a hangover, it can remove or neutralize toxins from the blood. It's also mandatory for boosting immunity and protecting the body from viral and bacterial infection. But it's not invincible. When it gets damaged, it leaks enzymes into the bloodstream. Your health tailspins!
How to Protect Yourself
So what can you do to avoid these harmful effects if you currently use Tylenol for pain relief? Your first instinct might be to throw your bottle of Tylenol in the trash and switch to another popular pain reliever like Aspirin or Ibuprofen.
Unfortunately, studies conducted on these pain relievers showed similar harmful affects on the liver, especially in cases of long term use. Not to mention the long list of other harmful side affects like gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and heart problems that are responsible for tens of thousands of hospitalizations of unsuspecting users each year.
Consider Aspirin. Users sometimes drop dead faster than non-aspirin users. Whether they are taking 75mg or higher, "No conventionally used prophylactic Aspirin regimen seems free of the risk of peptic ulcer complications," said the British Medical Journal. Any pain stopping benefits or cardiovascular cures that might come from the anti-clotting drug are clearly negated by excess bleeding.
No-Risk, Pain Relief Solution
These health damaging (and even life threatening) side effects are the reason I set out to formulate a safe and effective pain killer that was natural and non-toxic to the liver and rest of the body.
I knew there was no way I could feel comfortable giving commonly used pain killers like Tylenol or Aspirin to my friends and family...especially not to my children! I wanted a pain reliever that I could feel confident giving to people without any fear of long term damage. I began studying the earliest known pain killer of our time; white willow bark.
Natural Pain Killer Discovery Impractical
White willow bark can safely prevent the spinal cord from transmitting pain messages to the brain. From a hangover, to a migraine or even cancer pain, this allows it to be wildly effective for many different types of discomfort. Unfortunately, you need a lot of the bark in tea form for it to be effective. Furthermore, the effects don't last long.
Chemist Carl R. Gerhardt recognized this over 150 years ago. He wanted to increase the pain killing properties of white willow bark by designing a chemical cousin. He synthesized acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) from the naturally occurring salicylic acid found in white willow bark.
Aspirin was born not out of genius and creativity, but by copying what was already available in nature. Unfortunately, in the process of synthesizing the pain killing properties of white willow bark, Mr. Gerhardt unknowingly created the unsafe, liver poisoning compounds found in Aspirin today (specifically, the "acetyl" chemical group that was added on to the naturally occurring "salicylic acid").
Bayer trademarked the anti-platelet drug as Aspirin in 1889 and ASA is now used in place of white willow bark. But it isn't nearly as safe. The small molecular change made for big dangers! The ASA copycat of Mother Nature comes with severe bleeding and liver complications.
But that was 150 years ago. Today, modern chemistry breakthroughs have allowed me and my team to develop a much more potent and 100% safe concentration of the naturally occurring white willow bark. Giving you all the original safety benefits of the original white willow bark while at the same time increasing its potency to a level that will quickly and easily relieve your worst aches and pains...
Up to 7 Times More Potent
Using modern day chemistry techniques, I was able to curtail the short half-life of white willow bark, while at the same time increase its pain melting qualities. My one-of-a-kind blend is known as Relief-FX and it works fast and lasts thanks to modern day chemistry techniques.
White willow naturally contains a family of molecules known as glycosides. These compounds are responsible for blocking pain. But they only make up about 2 to 4% of entire white willow bark. This explained why you needed so much of it to work and why the pain melting effect doesn't last long enough to have significant value and benefit.
Utilizing modern day chemistry techniques like organic isolation and purification, I was able to boost the quantity of glycosides to a whopping 25% - making it up to 7 times more potent than naturally occurring white willow bark!
To preserve the natural form of white willow bark, I did not remove any of the other naturally occurring ingredients that work as "buffers" to ensure safety. These molecules were identified as salicortin, picein, fragilin, tremulacin and triandrin. And combined, not a single one has caused any type of liver damage!
Multiple studies have been done on these natural substances showing no liver damage - even in long term use (no increases in the enzymes that indicate liver damage and poor liver health) as verified by blood tests. Surprisingly, tests show it to have double the potency than OTC pain killers like Motrin. "Willow bark has been shown to be twice as effective as Motrin in head on studies," commented Dr. Teitelbaum in a recent interview with OnFitness Magazine.
Fast Relief
When increasing the amount of any given medicinal compound, you have to ensure that it gets absorbed. I utilized a unique ginger extract that is four times stronger than naturally occurring ginger rhizome. This extract enhances digestion and absorption by increasing the production of bile, a major component of proper molecular absorption. This ensures that the pain melting agents are distributed as fast as possible into the bloodstream.
Using my blend takes away all the worry of excess bleeding and liver damage, while soothing many forms of discomfort like muscle pain, back pain, headaches, migraines, even cancer pain!
New Era in Pain Relief
Finally, you can have a pain reliever in your home that you can rely on for those headaches, back aches, sore muscles, and every day aches and pains that everyone in your family is bound to run into at one time or another – and feel 100% safe and confident that the pain it’s taking away isn’t being traded for even more serious health problems down the road.

Relief FX :Legally I Can't Say This Cures Pain
This post is about Relief FX from thepeopleschemist.com
The FDA insists that they cannot say thepeopleschemist.com new product,Relief FX,cures pain.
This is Most recent unsolicited testimony:
"I've used it succesfully for joint and muscle pain. Today I timed it [Relief FX]...It took eight minutes to cure me from my headache."
Ibuprofen, aspirin and other NSAIDS kill an estimated 16,000 people annually! So much for FDA approval.
Thus, Relief FX is not only a cure to pain, but also a cure to sloppy FDA approval.Take 4 minutes to read about Relief FX here - it's a damn good thing to keep nearby! And if it doesn't stop pain in 15 minutes, send it back for a full refund!
Few people realize that Big Pharma has invested millions trying to synthesize and “counterfeit” potent and safe pain killers that are found naturally in places like Europe and Asia. Used for thousands of years in ancient medicine, these natural pain cures quickly melt away severe pain. And not only do they cost less, they’re also much safer than the “high profit counterfeits” that drug companies offer. But the industry hides these facts to protect their profits…Aspirin is a perfect example.
