DELETED in error last year, please ignor.
The TMS Bed:
In our household of my wife and me, no one is charted to make the bed. We have an unwritten agreement that we never actually made verbally that someone make the bed.
We both feel and agree that the bed should be made, and if someone has not made it by midday, we both get edgy thinking the other one is going to make it.
Psychologically we send messages to each other via the bed. I apologize for a misdemeanor by making the bed 5 days in a row; she has to make the bed only once to apologize.
Sometimes we jointly make the bed. This is often hard, as of us each is watching the standard by which the bed is being made. We each include hospital corners to maintain a good image to each other.
It’s important to each of us how the throw pillows are thrown. I am OCD particular in nature and have to have them symmetrical, she on the other hand likes to throw them and follows the description by which they are made.
One day she asked me if I had made the bed. I’m a little deaf as
I was diagnosed as having hearing loss and tinnitus, possible TMS.
When my wife called to me the other day from the bedroom, I entered the room pulling my pants down in anticipation and excitement.
“No she commented. “I said, have you made the bed?” Proof that we only hear what we want to, it’s called selective hearing.
The word “bedroom” is an oxymoron, and since we have a king size Californian, I notice it doesn’t give you any more room as the bed takes most of it!
When I’m in bed I gently scratch my wife’s head at night, it puts her to sleep and when I hear the zzz’s I know I’ve done a good job. The pleasure is really all mine, as I go into a meditative state while scratching. I think this goes back to a comforting relationship I had with Humphrey, (my koala teddy bear) as at the age of 6 he was completely bald.

Good article, I would suggest submitting it to a magazine maybe make a few bucks from it. Cal-Kings are great, so big it can be like sleeping alone. I like a comforter, just throw it on the bed and It's made. I have a denim cover so it's like a pair of jeans, you can't damage it. Last thought: you have way too much time on your hands  . |

| If you still have Humphrey maybe you can get him a rug, or get a new Humphrey with carbon fiber hair. |

| Not consciously, maybe in my sleep, but I don't see any scratches on it, just some blue spots from having left uncapped pens on it and some bleach spots, but damage creates patina in denim, maybe I'll get out some scissors and put some scratches in it. Denim is great, a denim carbon-fiber car would be really cool, maybe a denim carbon-fiber Mini Moke with designer jean rips in it. Sorry Andy for hi-jacking your Humphrey the Koala Bear thread, did you feed it eucalyptus leaves? |

Hi Tom,
Enough bantering, let’s get down to TMS business. Did you read my “Forum Decorum” thread? It’s a fun TMS read despite the lecturing title. I dedicated it to you.
...Another question my wife raised. Do you think RFA treatment is akin to Acupuncture? The main difference is Acupuncture is temporary, but RFA is semi-permanent.
www . stgeorgeutah . com/news/archive/2014/09/29/new-procedure-burns-arthritic-pain-health-wellness/#.VG472GeOqId
...It is my opinion that Arthritis is a one way degeneration tied to age or wear, in my case my crooked neck was pulled out of alignment by neck tension and imbalance of muscles, it caused the early onset of bones rubbing (arthritis) and thus more tension.
...I thus am not hopeful that TMS will ever fix this issue, as it’s a real medical modality.
Hi Andy, Sorry for not keeping up my end of this internet dialogue but been traveling, working and playing full time, while working at being semi-retired. Here's a link to the "RFA" procedure I just had:
www . mycoolief . com/information-about-procedure.aspx
It's called Coolief because the needle is cooled allowing for a larger lesion area. It's by Haylyard Medical (HYH) that was very recently spun off from Kimberly-Clarke. It's only been two days so no results yet. The two key questions I asked my doc were: How soon can I hit a tennis ball and could there be any damage to my sex life. The doctor who performed the procedure said I could play the next day (but it's raining in sunny kali so I couldn't test the tennis, and I'll have to wait for Saturday night to test the sex--too busy to access my Dell tech's highly recommended free porn site, and my gf's busy working.
To answer your wife's question, accupuncture and RFA have NO similarity or relationship except for the use of needles. The definitive study done by the State of California on accu found it to be a placebo. As do all the other quackeries and snake-oyls like glucosamine-chrondroitin it still sells very well thanks to the hopeful gullibility of pain sufferers prayed upon constantly by fast-buck artists who don't want to be troubled going to medical school. I've had about 200 accu treatments that did nothing substantive for my pains except placebo and some respite relaxation in a warm, quiet room, off the grid of the kali lifestyle . If I want some of that now I'll spend my money on a massage instead.
Accu needles just penetrate the surface and are barely felt, Coolief RFA is entirely different. The needles through the body to find the nerves taking the skilled hands of a surgeon to wend their way around the inner-geography and geology. My surgeon knows my butt better then anyone in Marin including my GF, having done about a dozen explorations of it over the years trying cortisone, Synvisc and Supartz treatments, all with little long term effect. She has skilled hands and also teaches kick-boxing and spin classes before coming to work, so she's a very unusual surgeon and also very cute. I trust her steady experienced hands, nerves are not visible on imaging. The surgeon has to wend their way around probing and testing the spot on the nerve where the pain comes from. So accu and RFA have nothing more in common then needles. They are as dissimilar as sewing on a button versus doing brain surgery. There was little pain involved, but I've been Rolfed about 90-100, times so I have a streak of masochism in me. There were a few moments of "discomfort" as the needling wended its way around bone.
Andy, as with your pain-in-the-neck and my pain-in-the-ass arthritis, there may not be much to do butt to grin and TMS bare it--the TMS is the volume control for the pain. I can always get a hip replacement, as I'm advised to everyday by the world, and two TMS docs. I'm playing around with the Coolief "RFA" because it's minimally invasive, intriguing, miraculous and what-the-hell!--whatever works, or doesn't.
The founder of this TMS Help site, long forgotten Austin Gary once said something to the effect that, if you hit yourself over the head with a hammer a thousand times it's not TMS--or maybe he said it was--I'm going to explore the archives and refresh my memory on that but I think it was important to the TMS discussion--there may be the rub.
I did see your Fourm Decorum thread and thanks for the dedication, I can't think of anyone more deserving.
Cheers, and I have to now search the classifieds for a Mini Moke, the rains are here--when I go by Harris Ranch on the I-5 I roll the windows down.
