Thanks, I watched the entire video, captivated by the easy manner in which Dr. Sletten conveys his vast knowledge of the sensory nervous system within the peripheral nervous system. Quite an education, but the issues that I addressed were to the far right of the three subsystems that he wrote on the board under the peripheral nervous system--the autonomic nervous system--although I wonder if the chronic-pain sufferer wouldn't be helped by tricks, treats, and settings designed to augment the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-relax), given Dr. Sletten's focus at the end of his fascinating presentation on the pragmatic management of the patient and his or her physical, emotional, behavioral, and chemical inputs.

Anyhow, thanks again for the reference to the fascinating video.

Peace.

Hi there. You're welcome. I'm glad you found the video captivating.. Dr.. Sletten is a dynamic speaker and educator. While I realized your situation of autonomic is far right of the peripheral nervous system, I had a feeling you might be engaged by learning more. You are correct that we on the peripheral side do also require tricks, treats, and settings designed to quiet our system. A few tools that help are meditation, mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing, and distraction.

It was nice chatting with you and learning from your trials and tribulations. Paying it forward is another tool for chronic "whichever" management, and that's what you've done here on Connect. You mentioned that you came to receive advice, but then gave it...no problem! Have a great day!!
