1:32 am
slowly to the brain via the nerves and the spinal cord. in the fall of us, incoming nerve impulses are filtered and transmitted to sensory cortex finds out which area of the body they originate from. the mid july plays an important role in the emotional response. a pain causes stress and anxiety, that anxiety can also make the pain more intense relief. on the other hand is provided by the pituitary gland. here, endorphins are released. the lot pain receptors in the brain areas under the prefrontal cortex are active when we become aware of the pain. its focus of attention is limited though. if we are distracted, we become less aware of the pain. the pain can be annoying or unbearable, but it serves an important purpose, ng, or unbearable,

1:35 am
i think so guys to force us. i'm told in the beginning i had to few symptoms most. it began with muscular pains on, particularly in the morning and it was difficult for me to get going for free. and i had problems taking the stairs, stating. and then as the months went by, i started developing more symptoms to got problems, pins and needles, all over my body sleeping problems in sonya stuff. hopefully emma stuff, noises kites. but worst of all was the joint and the muscle pain across her entire body. she struggled to do the simplest things they 5 topanga, she sang, i was totally incapacitated law. i remember after my daughter was born, the parent was bad on one night and i wanted to get up and prepare some milk for her. and we have 2 steps in our apartment, and it was too much for me to go down to steps into the kitchen. but i put on the kettle and prepare her formula and i couldn't do it fine to stand on to you. i
