yes nail on the head. if I knew then what I knew now I would have gone another route and addressed my "sleeping" problem with "sleep" related supplements. in hindsight I can say "why the hell was I prescribed anti depressants because I couldn't sleep"....

Yeah, that's another good question!! All you really needed was to have your SO give you a nice, slow, gentle massage while some nice music on. Like this: http://youtu.be/O7gS1m24Ezk
That whole album is great!! It's called, "Orgship".

Gots me TONS of Tangerine Dream's stuff!!

Just turn the lights down real low, put on this kind of music, get naked, get into bed, lie face down, your lover sitting next to you, and have them very gently and slowly trace their finger tip in lazy circles on your back and legs!! DEEEEELICIOUS!!!!!! To get an idea of what it's like, get a piece of string, or even a long strand of hair, and slowly drag that up or across your back. It helps a lot to kind of concentrate on what's being done to you, too. On one hand, it tenses up your body, but that makes it feel even better, but, at the same time, it's VERY relaxing!! My ex-fiancé, being Hindi, had long dark hair and, sometimes, she'd just slowly drag her hair across my back & legs!! VERY NICE!!!!

lol wow im getting tingles just thinking about that lol!!!
sadly the few times ive asked him to massage me for back/shoulder pain/tenseness its resulted in some form of hard Chinese chopstick style banging on my back and ive ended up in 100 times more pain than before I started

Hmmm, that sucketh!! But, all he has to do is very lightly and slowly trace the tip of a finger or two across your back, not pound you like a jackhammer. Do it yourself on the front or sides of your thigh and you'll get an idea of how it's SUPPOSED to work. Too bad you're not here, or I'm not there, I'd be more than happy to treat you to it!!

Dig, about 20 years ago, my grandmother was on a LOT of drugs thanks to her doctor. After she started taken them, she kept getting worse and worse, not feeling very good at all! My aunt did a lot of research and found that most of those drugs were not only not needed, but were doing her more harm than good, and nearly all of the others could be replaced with more natural things that would do the same things the drugs were supposed to do, sometimes even better!! She got grandma off the drugs and got her down to maybe a few of the healthier things to take and grandma felt SOOOOO much better after that and improved a good bit, too!!

You've inspired me! My mom is on a whole laundry list of drugs, and boy do those side effects ever make it not worth it. It seems like she'll never get better if she just keeps getting medicated! I'm going to do some research of my own. Thank you for this!

Check out essential oils. So many miracle cures there. I use DoTerra and they have wonderful free seminars and classes all of the time. I've heard good things about Young Living too, I just chose DoTerra because they have so many groups near my house. It's amazing what some of these oils can cure.
