Subject: [PostmeningitisHeadache] Biggest Relief Yet....
Hello all,
It's been a while since I posted a message here, but I thought I'd check in to give you an update. In the last six months I have experienced the most significant improvement yet with my chronic head pain (from viral meningitis five years ago).
I basically took six month's "off" and didn't work - well, I worked on one small project that lasted a month, but otherwise I didnt. What I did do were three things that have all seemed to help.
1) Detox at an F.X. Mayr center in Austria (Lanserhof) for 1 week
2) 10-day Vipassana meditation course (10 days in silence with 10-12 hours of meditation per day)
3) 10-day Tantra Yoga retreat (this also included a cleanse and 2.5 days of silence)
The thing that had the biggest and most signifanct impact was the yoga retreat. There are several factors I believe: EYE YOGA -- this has helped A LOT!!!!!, and the breathing exercises.
I hope to return to do another retreat soon in Oct. perhaps since now I know that I have something that works and with any luck, and with continued practice, I will get rid of this problem for good.
Anyone else find any solutions that work? Please share them!
Hope everyone is having a great summer and having a good day!
Best,
Laura
