EtV--1. Yeah, it's awful. Mine woke me up at night with tingles and I didn't sleep right for over a year.
2. PM moonjen, I think she had a thread about this recently that is rleated, and ask her to post her as well as link that thread.
3. See my thread [Praise's Good News on Health] and check out the links near the end of it on adrenal fatigue. You have it or will have it, trying to deal with this, to some degree, and it is quite easy to incorporate the program to address that with whatever else you end up doing. PM me for details if you like-- specifics on what I did, vitamin mix, etc. Please DO NOT get cortisone without reading it and checking those links PLEASE. Cortisone is great-- just please get a deeper layer of info to run your body as well as possible.
4. Don't eschew any and every way of taking care of yourself. Be a baby about it. I know, you're a guy. Guys keep going. But do it for the sake of the world's need for your music, if not for your own sake. Do it like you'd do it for your kids. Your audience-- your spiritual kids, in a sense.
Hey gang. Maybe we need a links section on illness and injury common to musicians? I don't see OSHA looking out for us.
