    Bruun's Titting UP

    I read that too and agree, although I think it would be healthy to try to regain SOME of that natural foot balance and power. I want my toes to work!
    I think I'll try Grat's book and walking for a while, then add in kettle balls.
    Have you read Egoscue? Sounds like the same thing Is, a book on balancing your hips and everything else - pretty well respected guy, Pete Egoscue and there's a book by him just for women too. However, I have difficulty just doing it. I can't concentrate on anything, I am a noodle. Hoping to feel better tomorrow and start doing SOMETHING.

    I meant I was told by PT to do PT (not surgery) to rebalance my body before it gets much worse, it's already very bad with regard to favoring one side. I meant that I am on track to be like my neighbor if I don't get going and really make it a priority. It can be my AL alternative activity.

      Ah, gotcha. Yeah, you don't want to end up like your neighbor!! I've always tried to change things up, doing things with my left hand that I would do with my right, etc. I know that's not what you mean by "favoring one side", but it makes sense to take that same thinking and apply it to all of our other muscle imbalances too.

      I haven't heard of Egoscue before, I'll have to check out the book!

        Bruun, the inserts work great. I blew my knee out in college and ever since I had terrible foot and hip problems on my opposite leg (muscle imbalance, favoring, etc). I started using one insert about 5 years ago and problem solved. I never tried myofascial stretching, but know two people that have had great results.

        Hope your feeling better.

          Thanks Grommet,

          I find the inserts (I got some about ten years ago) wouldn't fit into any of my shoes except one pair. If I bought a size up, the arch would be in the wrong place, so that didn't work. Maybe I'll try it again... by the way, did you see my post about my BP going up? I know you posted that there's no relationship between BP and bac, so maybe it's a one-time oddity for me because I drank alot and took bac, which put me into a healing need phase. Since it happened to you, and you don't have hypertension (which I do), it does make me wonder ...

            Drug Interactions Thread?

            Anyone know if there's already a drug interactions thread for bac here? I was thinking it would be good to start because I keep seeing people using melatonin after saying it was contra-indicated, or benedryl with bac with exact same situation.

              The jury is still out as to what's going on with me. My comment was based upon what my friend told me yesterday after one of his residents spent a couple of hours researching Bac and HBP. I don't remember his exact words, but they were along the lines of nothing to indicate Bac alone results HBP and nothing that would cause concern to prescribe Bac to a HBP patient. LBP on the other hand is a greater concern.

              There are a lot of (mostly positive) changes going on as a result of the Bac which may lead to HBP issues. Might this be temporary for both of us? I sure hope so...

              (also, since I am new to this HBP thing I find that my worrying about HBP gives me HBP :H)

                Hi Bruun, regarding blood pressure - I was only a few days into titting up while still partying like it's 1999, when one dreaded morning I had to play football (soccer flavour) for an hour or so. I noticed ages ago in my early 20s how much smokin' 'n' drinkin' n' shaggin' had wrecked my sporty alter-ego but this unfortunate Large Hadron collision of exercise, baclofen and booze had me thinking morgue-ish thoughts. Had a psychopathic samurai popped out of nowhere and picked the occasion to lop my block off with his sword - an unlikely scenario, I'll admit - the spout of blood emanating from my jugular would have decorated the belly of a low flying Easy Jet. Horror movie SFX men would have had to re-learn their art!
                I was too freaked to even contemplate measuring my blood pressure - I generally shy away from terrifying facts, anyway, and it's only last week I bothered finding out what the hell systolic and diastolic actually mean. But I'd guess my blood pressure was somewhere in the region of 11,000,000/ 80,000.
                All this is a long farty way of saying there's definitely a connection between blood pressure and baclofen. And soccer.

                As for all these girly ramblings about achy feet, remember, things can always be worse...

                    No, it must go to my personal email which I can't check on this computer but I can go get the other 'puter and boot her up. I just hates her screen tho because it is very tiny.

                    See, esp the soccer!

                              I'm doing great Bruun! Still titrating down, still indifferent. Happy to be living life.
