@unk-p, I'm praying for your comfort and healing, dear friend. I love and miss you. I don't know the cause of your vestibular problems, but I can empathize. It's something I struggle with, often exacerbated when I'm under great stress. Do whatever you can to remain grounded and replenish yourself. I'm sending you a big hug from VA.
@gbs My brother came up to spend the day with me on Sunday. He has moved in with my sister and her family while he is looking for a place of his own. One of his problems was his memories of Rose are so entwined with their house, he felt he couldn't move on. Now that he's out, he's doing better. The nerve damage wasn't as bad as it could have been, there's just some numbness near his ear which the doctors think might improve over time. He's also going to AA meetings again, because he did what he did after he had been drinking heavily. I think he's gonna be OK.
@pamp Thank you so much for sharing this update. It sounds like he is reaching out and also accepting help, which is great, great news. I'll continue to send healing thoughts to him and you.
@pamp that's really good news. I hope he continues to make progress each day. Sending you all prayers, peace and love. Make sure you take care of yourself too.
@pamp, thanks for sharing the news about your brother. He's blessed to have such a supportive sister. It sounds like he's on the road to healing, one day at a time. I will include your brother in our Circle of Light healing meditation tomorrow evening. As @febbby23 stated, make sure you take care of yourself too.
@ghandigirl, thank you for your recent posts. They're so honest, hopeful and inspiring. I need to feel that right now. I also loved your wonderful story about your dog, Toby! Laughter is so good for the soul. Thanks for the beautiful reminder.
You mentioned about resetting your posture and how that helped with your balance and inner hear problems. That's been my experience as well. I have cervical dysfunction caused by some bad car accidents in my distant past. Fortunately I don't have pain, but the cervical constriction can make me feel unbalanced and ungrounded. It also contributes to my exhaustion and tinnitus. A strong core (which I don't have) can help to maintain good posture; otherwise, you're pulling on your shoulder and neck muscles to keep you upright, which is what I often end up doing. Isn't the body amazing? It's remarkable how everything is connected.
Temporomandibular joint inflammation can also be a cause of dizziness. Stress can increase clenching and grinding of the teeth, which can lead to inflammation as well as other problems.
I meant to thank you all a few days ago for sending me extra vibes on Wednesday during the meditation circle. Thanks and Namasté.
I honestly felt better from Wed night up until I learned of RBG's death yesterday, and also the death of an aunt who while I didn't know her well, she was a very good person who will be missed.
I muddled through, but this morning I'm barely keeping it together. I woke up in significant physical pain this morning for no physical/medical reason. I couldn't even make it through my usual Saturday morning Zoom dance class. I can't stop weeping.
@laura-f oh Laura I feel you. I am trying not to give into the worry and anxiety. I feel it would be disrespectful to RBG She was fierce and we can try to be also. Others on the forum have stated that these things need to come to be so we can get to our destination and goal. I am requesting light and peace for all of us. I don’t pray for strength because I started to notice the universe would answer me in situations that were trying. Once I realized that voice in my head was saying, “Look, see you came through, you’re strong enough.” Peace and light are always welcome and needed. We can get through this together. Hang in there my friend. Reach out when you need a boost. We are all here for each other. ❤️☮️
