FIBROMYALGIA
I was invited to do a presentation and demonstration at a local fibromyalgia support group in Gastonia, NC. My massage therapist friend, (Bowen student and instigator of this trip), told me to just do a chair demonstration, rather than bring a massage table.
After I told the fibromyalgia people all about Bowen and how it can help F.M., plus some case histories, an overweight man in his early 50’s, volunteered to be the victim. I sat him on a chair backwards, and did Milton Albrecht’s “Optional procedure”, plus BRP'S 1-2-3 with rests in between. During the rests, he commented, "I can feel heat coming out of my back." I told him that wasn't too unusual. Then he said, "I feel tingling in my toes and I am getting really relaxed.” I did a total of four sequences to his lower and upper back and neck areas which altogether took about five minutes.
When we were through, he arose from the chair and said, “Wow! My ankle and back pains are gone. My feet have full sensation-I can feel my socks with my toes. Wow. I don't believe this. How could this be?” He made an appointment to have a full- table top session at my office the following week.
When he came for his appointment he was totally pain free and really didn't need a full table top Bowen session, but I did one anyway. During the session, he told me the rest of the story.
His feet had been numb since early adulthood. He developed muscle pains throughout the body circa 2003. Sometime after that, he began experiencing severe ankle pain, stiffness in the feet, wrists, and hands. He also had intermittent low back pain. His family doctor did a preliminary work-up and then sent him to a neurologist who performed many other tests, which were all negative. He then, referred him to a leading neurologist in Chapel Hill, NC. His findings were the same and he referred him back to his doctor in Gastonia. Some time later, his doctor referred him to a 3rd neurologist in Wake Forest, NC, which provided no information or relief other than a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. During all of this, my patient took high doses of narcotics and consumed alcohol in order to cope with the pain. Three years ago he lost his job due to his dysfunction from addictions. He also attended fibromyalgia support group meetings once a month. A year ago, he successfully went through drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and since has been taking non-steroidal anti- inflammatory medication by the hand full (which only partially relieved some of the pain, and upset his stomach). So, he was, “Just living with the pain.” His sleep patterns were dysfunctional and he could 't work full time during the past four years.
There's something wrong with this picture. Rodney went through 10 years of misery which was eliminated with five minutes of Bowen Therapy. He should have had this treatment at the beginning of the trip, not at the end. (To Find A Practitioner)
