I would like to stick a spike in their temples and see how urgent they think it is...<br /><br />Perfumes were a bad trigger for me, because you can't control who wears it especially those who are followed by a large cloud of scent.<br /><br />It sounds gross, but since menthol wasn't a trigger for me, I would use mentholatum or Vicks Vapor Rub or those Vicks Vapor Sticks to overwhelm my sense of smell for a period of time. I got this trick from a guy who smelled bad smells for the EPA. Sometimes it worked great, sometimes it was so so.WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383815384381169770.post-73860502368384820822009-10-26T12:57:29.183-05:002009-10-26T12:57:29.183-05:00Not sure if the tingling sounds like a good thing ...Not sure if the tingling sounds like a good thing or a bad thing...more worried that it is a bad thing.

I'm a freakin college grad for goodness sakes, but someone at work asks a simple question about something I did yesterday and I can't remember. I can't ever give a direct answer, I always have to go through my notes or e-mails to look things up. It's so embarrassing!

Breath in through your nose<br />2. Out through your mouth<br />3. Count each breath<br /><br />You're suppose to get to the point where it's just natural and easy to do without you conciously thinking about it.<br /><br />Good luck, tell me how it goes!Susanne Millerhttp://www.naturalmigrainesolution.com/newsletternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383815384381169770.post-18158667030526492372009-09-10T10:10:20.354-05:002009-09-10T10:10:20.354-05:00I took biofeedback training.

It helps with day to day stress, but unfortunately I can't penetrate the really bad pain using it. I didn't even have to take the full course and graduated early. It's meditation in a way that is mindful of your body, somewhat how Diana Lee describes yoga without contortions.WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383815384381169770.post-25037209504382884672009-09-10T10:10:17.251-05:002009-09-10T10:10:17.251-05:00I found your blog through your posting for chronic...I found your blog through your posting for chronic invisible illness.

It's really all about mindfulness and gently moving your body, not crazy hard positions.
