This blog is intended to show courage and take back: "It is always an alternative ....."
Birgit had from Fehmarn told me the address that they had found in the local advertising paper "reporter" because I was looking for a way for the Craniosacral therapy. This therapist was, as I now know, very surprised by my call - because her husband had had the same disease as my husband. And they knew that the craniosacral therapy could help him. It confirmed my opinion that the treatment methods at the University Hospital could not be effective. With a lumbar puncture can be, it can ameliorate the symptoms in the short term, but achieve a cure. The drugs could be counterproductive, since the corresponding disease was indeed excluded by the investigations. treated since the beginning of July, my husband twice a week for 90 minutes, with the Craniosacral therapy, magnetic resonance therapy, singing bowl therapy, with loving attention and discussions. Gradually to provide a small success, in tiny little steps it goes ahead. My husband usually sleeps and enjoys the treatment, afterwards he always feels very good. I have had many interesting conversations with the therapist to learn many new things and am very grateful for this enrichment. Marry me asked a few weeks after the first blog on the topic: "What actually is the correct diagnosis?" And I repeat here my answer: The diagnosis of my husband is: Normal pressure (NPH), or age, intracranial pressure. Unfortunately, this is probably not very explored, we know not where that comes from. It has in the University Hospital not interested in that. The link leads to an informative lecture.
The NPH leads to congestion of brain water, which a lot of pressure is exerted on the brain. In this way the three main symptoms: gait disturbance, urinary incontinence and dementia. The school physician perform a lumbar puncture, and nerve or brain water in the lower Back is tapped, which reduces the pressure. But the cause of the malfunction is not sought, and it comes after a short time to the same problems.
The craniosacral Craniosacral therapy affects the circulatory, nervous, the cycle of water in the human body. This is regulated and normalized, so the symptoms subside. Blockages in the body are detected and removed.
Some of these heavy blocks got my husband appeared at the last visit to the University Hospital. For despite his serious illness, shingles on the face, probably caused by the stress of examinations, a failed rehab, etc. , it was by two physiotherapists with violence dragged out of bed and forced to move. However, he defended himself, and so was probably this body trauma. And the longer he sat in a wheelchair and dependent on outside help was, the worse were his movement blocks.
Now we need a lot of patience, and as a therapy will probably need him for the rest of his life. I hope, for many years, for the NPH is actually not so dangerous, there are more everyday complaints that seem disturbing.
the way, anyone can learn the basic techniques of craniosacral therapy, applied to himself and the partner. I will try and practice it. Some exercises I have already learned that we make to the treatment-free days. came
Over the summer it more serious decisions in our lives that can be found in the beach alley-blog: First, we canceled our vacation in the Dolomites, for then we would first travel to Bamberg, and later in must make the mountains. That would have been very stressful for my husband and the success of therapy might be abrogated. Some time later, we decided, for ever on the island of Fehmarn to live. We searched a house here and will soon move our primary residence of Bamberg to Fehmarn.
It was also a way to Health: For instead often make long trips in the car to have, we can now remain in place. My husband gets the good, always to be in the same environment, experience more stress and no stress. For hotel accommodation on the trip brought to him again and again the need to have to adjust to a new environment. Even for me it was quite stressful, because my husband can not enter themselves into the car still move independently. The wheelchair is our indispensable tool. If I am less stressed and more relaxed, that's good for my husband
A way to health but also the good climate is the sea, it is quiet here on the south beach, except for the sound of the sea, the wind and the screeching of seagulls. We sleep a lot and live quite comfortably. We eat simple meals, with fruit and vegetables from the island, and lots of fish which it is fresh every day in port Burgstaaken. And (almost) every day the sun shines, at least a few hours. Furthermore
with the experience of nature to the health: Every day we see beautiful cloud formations over the sea looking at the yachts and fishing boats, watching the seagulls and smaller birds that come to our balcony. Monday and Thursday, we take pleasure in driving around the island on the beautiful landscape, which gradually changed from summer to early autumn. For this we listen to classical music on NDR 2, further soft tension and discomfort, because it took a nap again goes to the therapist.
And one more thing: We had the courage to start treatment in a practice of alternative healing, even though we had informed the insurance company, they would not reimburse the costs. When success is noticeable after the first ten treatments made, I formulated a letter and asked for a refund. Because this treatment is much cheaper than repeated hospital stays. It was a big surprise when the insurance company and the benefits office treatment reimbursed.
Now we are only two races to Westermarkelsdorf, because our therapist will move to Lübeck. But they will come twice a week to Fehmarn to treat my husband at home and continue the work in their groups. We will soon go back to Bamberg for a short time to organize our move to the island.
I never had it when we arrived on the island on 24th June thought possible that the beach avenue we have new ways to health and we would bring a great change in our lives. I am grateful for this coincidence!
And I thank all dear friends here and in the ST for their comments, messages, poems, pictures, calls and gifts, my husband and with whom they have considered me in these weeks of a wonderful summer. This has contributed to health - to that of Hans Christian and to my own! Thanks for your interest and for reading!
