My 16-year-old son Paul still has constant bad headaches and dizziness.
We are using relaxation techniques and
Tylenol (acetaminophen) to control the pain somewhat. We started Paul this week on
Pediatric Occupational Therapy and we have an appointment next month to start work
with the
Pain Management Clinic at
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Paul will attend the Packard
Hospital School starting next week – approval just came through for
that. So, he does not have to miss out on the second half of his Junior Year
in High School entirely. Your prayers are always welcome.

Hi Katy,
My sincere prayers for Paul and all of you. I also wanted to ask you if you were trying any Yoga and breathing techniques (Pranayam) which also might reduce the pain. Just a thought…
God bless’.
rgds,
Manjula
PS: I was once a Sun employee at IEC and had attended your talk when you were here in Bangalore…
In case you didn’t notice my coment in your earlier blog entry.

Note: Continue with your medication and treatment. Consider your physician’s opinion, before you try out any "Pranayam".
This is a suggestion.
Spend some time and check the basics/benefits of "Pranayam". If you feel comfortable with what it can do to our body and mind, you may suggest it to Paul.
Personally I would recommend you to look at 7 Pranayams:
Bhastrika Pranayam
Kapal Bhanti Pranayam
Bahya Pranayam
Anulom Vilom Pranayam
Bhramari Pranayam
Udgeeth Pranayam
Pranav Pranayam
For better benefits, these has to be in this order.
Between 15-45 minutes a day for "yourself" and you will have better life.
Repeat Note: Continue with your medication and treatment. Consider your physician’s opinion, before you try out any "Pranayam".
