The Buddhist practice of Tonglen has been long practiced for the aid of suffering for one person and for the world. Here I ask for one breath to help me in my continued suffering. Thank you!

Chronic Pain
This website is dedicated to the impact chronic pain has on the human body at all levels: physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. Its aim is the discussion and spread of systematic structures that have in some way helped those with chronic pain, myself included. Inclusive will be both western medical and eastern non-traditional practices.
Under the umbrella of my own long battle with an immunological-neurological disease called Pseudotumor-Cerebri (also known as Benign Intracranial Hypertension or/and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) diagnosed in 1992; and a complex clinical history with other conditions.
Please note that this is one of three sister websites:
- www.onemomentintime.life (this website), also known as www.1momentintime.life
- www.pseudotumor.life
- www.unsusurro.com (this website is in Spanish)
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement as we journey a difficult road through chronic pain!

20: Foggy brain or meds?
Is it foggy brain or medication which causes one to type or say the wrong word? How many times have you found yourself trying to articulate that which is at the tip of your tongue but simply won’t come out, except it doesn’t? No longer ‘funny’ you truly wonder if you are going absolutely mad. You are not.
19: Do you suffer from Cluster Headaches?
Cluster Headaches are also known as suicidal headaches. If you or a close family member suffers from these types of headaches here are some thoughts about the causes, diagnoses, common symptoms, and what I go through when an attack comes on to manage them.
As you can imagine having Cluster Headaches on top of Pseudotumor Cerebri Headaches (IIH or BIH), plus Occipital Neuralgia creates quite a myriad of pain waking up in the morning. Physically it is first and foremost completely exhausting. Psychologically it is not only draining (and yes, you can say depressing at times), but very debilitating. Probably the most frustrating aspect has been living with this pain while trying all that the medical community can offer, unsuccessfully. (We can discuss what I have tried in the way of other avenues at another time. And yes, I have tried! I am writing more about that on another web page that I am developing www.onemomentintime.life Appropriate name, don’t you think 😉
