Today was the first day in months that I didn't have any sinus pain pain, pressure or a headache as well as anxiety.
It was really weird, I was talking to a friend about how she could use TMS tactics to approach her severe Lyme disease last night while I had a headache that I was ignoring. I went to bed and had a really weird dream showing me the birth of my future son and future daughter (bizarre since I am single and not even close to there yet).
During the dream. I woke up with severe burning in my esophagus/chest which felt like severe acid reflux/heartburn which I have never had in my life. I panicked a bit while in bed and had a coughing fit. I almost let it trigger anxiety but then I applied Claire Weekes' "face, accept, float and let it pass" technique and just stayed in bed comfortably going in an out of sleep. I thought to myself, what bothered me about that dream? I came to the sense that all of my best friends are starting to have kids and I am a bit angry/jealous/sad that I am not even close to there yet and it's hard to be happy for them just because it's the "appropriate" emotion to feel.
I still had the heart burn/chest cold feeling all day at work, but absolutely no pain in my head at all and no anxiety. I just ignored the heartburn (and was a bit guilty of looking up other's story on this forum with heartburn/reflux to see what their experience was).
It doesn't seem like a lot, but it felt amazing to go a whole day without any headache or pressure. Normally it goes in and out all day. I am adding this to my evidence sheet that I CAN have days without pain and believe more in the fact that my body is trying to heal myself.
