Posted by Barb on April 26, 2009

To understand your back pain is the best method of its treatment. If you commence taking over the counter medications, the pain may instantly stop, only to re-emerge with double vigor. Any medicine does two things, either it delivers the goods. Or it damages the goods. Either positive effects or negative side effects. Back pain treatments have to be understood in this context.

They are in our families, they are in our friendships and they are in our workplaces. These are people that seek excitement and attention by playing the lead role in drama or what I like to call me-ism. Have you ever noticed how the drama king or queen is always the focal point, playing the victim. You have seen this before. We all have. The man in the restaurant who doesn t get the right order and proceeds to get so loud that the entire restaurant notices, or the lady at the check out counter who is impatient and rude to the clerk because he is a new employee learning to run the cash register and is having a slow day, or the lovely mother-in-law that blows everything out of proportion so that she has some adventure in her life. The list of drama tactics is literally endless. The good news is, we all have choice. We do not have to play their games, to be sucked into their drama, their me-isms. After you have been working so hard to lessen...
