This is a list of things I often do to cope with flare-ups... which can merely be an increase in pain intensity on top of my 'normal.' I keep a list handy because when pain shoots up, my brain goes on vacation. I believe this is the same with everyone.
General flare-up (usually in my neck, shoulders, and upper back):
- Use OSKA Pulse (PEMF)
- Close my eyes and BREATHE. Release any tension in my body upon each exhale.
- Activate Vagus Nerve by Ohmming/Humming and/or gargling.
- Massage ears with one of the many essential oils I have on hand (or massage them without oil). Ears have a lot of acupuncture points. i.e. Balance or AromaTouch blends (doTERRA).
- Use self-massager on my back, hips, and thighs.
- Use Thermalon heat wrap on my shoulders.
- Listen to singing bowls on YouTube. Play the one I have.
- Meditate (see Meditation page).
- Lay in bed and read.
- Drink more water.
- Practice Donna Eden Energy Medicine routines.
- Move my body parts to remind it that even though I still hurt, I can still move.
- Neck traction.
- Use a Salonpas patch.
- For lower back, apply marjoram with lotion.
Feeling suddenly drained and achy all over:
- Rest a lot more in bed. (Read in bed.)
- Apply Past Tense blend (doTERRA) to the base of my occipital point and rub in.
- 15 drops of Energetix Hypothalmapath.
- Drink decaf (organic) coffee with a drop of peppermint oil and hot water with honey.
- If my bowels are backed up, so are the toxins.
Muscle cramps: from hips to knees; abdomen; sides (ribcage); lower & mid back:

- Apply Marjoram & Copaiba with lotion
- Apply and massage in Past Tense blend (doTERRA) to the base of my occipital point and along each side of my upper spine.
- Apply and massage in a blend of Lemongrass, Marjoram, and Black Pepper essential oils into the spasm.
- Take 15 drops of Energetix Inflamma-Tone 2 - 3 times a day under tongue.
- Use inflatable neck traction.
- Do additional band pulls.
- Use iReliev TENS unit
Scapula spasm:
- Apply and massage in Past Tense blend (doTERRA) to the base of my occipital point and along each side of my upper spine.

- Use self-massager on my back.
- Use Thermalon heat wrap.

Depressive episodes:
- I didn't see it coming. As I began to sink into despair, I remembered I had followed my doctor's advice and stopped taking vitamin D-K2 when my levels came up. But I still needed a maintenance dose.
- The episode along with irritability and body temperature fluctuations began next... which affected the quality of my sleep... and I realized my hypothalamus needed support again. Within the day I started these supplements again, I began to feel better.
