Many people are in chronic pain.

So I want to write some newsletters about how to fix the pain without dangerous drugs.

There are really two ways of getting rid of pain.

The first is by using drugs.

You can use opiates such as morphine, oxycodone, codeine, or any of the others.

The other way of using drugs to get rid of pain is to use the NSAID’s.

NSAID’s are medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other more exotic NSAID’s.

These all work the same way — they interfere with the part of the chain of inflammation that causes pain.

It’s the same for alternative pain management for chronic pain.

But here comes a very excellent study.

It’s part of a series that shows that the brain becomes sensitized to pain.

What this means is that you become used to pain, and pain becomes a normal.

The brain rewires the pain.

Literally.

For example, consider having a small amount of pain in your back, and you ignore it because it’s small.

But over time, your brain will rewire your pain so that it becomes more painful.

It amplifies the pain until you have to pay attention to it.

This is called central sensitization.

Central sensitization is how the nerves in the brain become super sensitive to chronic pain.

The pain becomes worse and worse as you go along.

I’ve had this experience myself, dealing with a certain type of headache called a cervicogenic headache.

It’s a rather rare type of and nobody can explain it.

But it became more and more painful over many years for me.

It doesn’t seem to be related to hormones or anything else.

But fortunately, it responds to NSAID’s.

But I don’t want to take NSAID’s very much, so I look for other methods of fixing it.

While researching new methods, I ran into central sensitization.

My brain has become wired to these headaches.

And the headaches have become more and more debilitating as the brain wiring has increased and expanded.

There’s also another chemical reason for brain sensitization.

This has to do with receptors in the brain.

It may be that adding some supplemental magnesium may help prevent it.

We’re not going to go into this reason right now.

We’re going to focus on the rewiring.

Here’s the real way you want to prevent pain by central sensitization.

Once central sensitization has developed, it persists for a relatively long time after the initiating cause has disappeared.

Have you ever heard of phantom limb pain?

Even after someone loses a limb through amputation, they still feel pain even though that limb is gone.

That’s because of central sensitization.

How do you stop central sensitization, and avoid chronic pain?

The key is to stop the pain before it starts.

This is the best of the morphine uses.

If you are going to have surgery, ask for morphine before the surgery.

And ask for it again right away afterwards.

If you have an accident, asked for morphine immediately.

Try to avoid getting into a cycle where you really feel the pain.

I am not a fan of morphine, because morphine is extremely estrogenic, and very destructive to the body.

All opiates are bad for us.

However, if you get a small amount of morphine before your brain cells register the pain, it will help you more in the long run.

The pain will be greatly reduced on an ongoing basis.

And you will likely not need any more morphine.

This is why you want to have the morphine before you have surgery.

In this study, researchers gave 60 patients morphine before their surgery.

Then they compared it with the results of patients who had not had morphine before their surgery.

They found that medicating before pain was extremely beneficial.

Those who were medicated with morphine before surgery were much less likely to need much morphine afterwards.

The pain just never got off the ground.

This reduces the likelihood that you will need morphine for chronic pain later.

The idea is that the morphine preempts the brain’s central sensitization.

So it prevents chronic pain from taking hold.

We conclude that preemptive analgesia with intravenous morphine, by preventing the establishment of central sensitisation during surgery, reduces postoperative pain and analgesic requirements.
