apologize
I feel I need to either apologize or defend my statement.
”not feel” I meant just the pains. By feeling the pain keeps me on track to learn how to move about more carefully. I just like when the pain subsides to a dull ache, or something feels good enough to over-ride it.
QUOTE=502E79;1519896]My experience has been that the pain I suffer is generally spasticity. Relentless at times. And to a minor extent the "out-of-nowhere" pain, the kind no opiate will ever reach.
I found that slow daily stretching is superior to any message. Spasticity still present but held at bay or even made less spastic, without any other means. Only you really know your body and what needs to be worked, the best masseuse with a great tactile sense is secondary, expensive and can become a dependency.
Also I am NEVER happy "not to feel"... my MS may be progressing but to lose contact, even if it is painful contact, is far worse. Mental location of my lower right leg in time and space is basically lost to me. But by using what I have, unadulterated, I manage.
Apologies to the OP with regards to thoughts on opioids. I agree with Snoopy. Also, I think opioids separate us even further from our own bodies. My body may be riddled with MS, but only I can discipline my body.[/QUOTE]
