Neurologist Reacts to DIAZEPAM by Ren 

I really like this one too. I've been listening to Demos Vol 2 on Spotify and I really like the whole album.

Yeah definitely in my top five for sure.

Fabulous observation and so like Ren. He's just brilliant.

These little musical choices that are barely noticed are littered throughout Rens music. On top of the lyrical mastery, the technical ability on multiple instruments, the top tier rapping ability, the singing ability, the acting and live performance ability.... he is a great producer. Just insane talent.

Yes. So many little golden nuggets to discover...

lets not forget the harsh forward synth that is quite literally a sharp buzz. That's a PERFECT example of the buzzing you can get when you're completely overwhelmed and you're firing on all cylinders. He does an amazing job of audibly replicating the sensations of anxiety, numbness, etc.

@Fenthule Yeah, it sounds like a mosquito. One of the most annoying sounds known to man.

I'm so glad you managed to safely get off them. I've been prescribed some really full on drugs for FM and really they haven't helped. I think studying Poly Vagal Theory is the most interesting thing I've come across thus far, and looking, in my case at the connections with CPTSD, violent trauma since a baby, actually changing me neurologically and my responses. I'm not sure if any sort of trauma has occurred to you, or this relates to you, but of the hundreds of FM sufferers I've interacted with on various forums and groups and in person, it seems a huge percentage have been through some kind of trauma. So I was thinking FM is the somatization of trauma, but didn't understand it deeply. Also why being such a good girl and working so hard on myself and with therapists hasn't worked for other issues of mine. Then I discovered PV theory and Dr Stephen Porges and my mind was blown! Psychology can be really helpful for lots of stuff, but if something is neurological, then sure, it's the wrong approach for that element of things. Then recently I've also been diagnosed with ADHD and ASD, so the plot thickens! PV theory in itself is not a cure for anything or FM, but it certainly helps you understand yourself more and how stuff is linked. Eg. I've spent my life on alert, not realising it, and in fear, even though I may look happy, and in constant pain. My body is constantly held in tension. Then consequences of tension lead to more physical issues. And of course I'm in pain all the time, and if you touch trigger points, or just about anywhere, it hurts like hell! You get exhausted, etc etc. Adrenal burn out. And it goes on. Then you're given anti depressants, anti convulsants and the rest. I don't know if it can help you or applies to you, but I still think studying poly vagal and neuroscience is really helpful for so much understanding, putting things in place then it leading to ways of addressing our physical pain and issues. Deb Dana is really good too. You can listen to both of them, and others on RU-vid. Like you, I'm resigned to be in pain, but I also hold a little hope that if I can address certain other issues it will positively effect what they call FM. I really think it's going to be reclassified at some point, and they just call it that cos they don't know what else to say! And we get put in the too hard basket. Anyway, I wish you all the best, and I'm really glad you got off the medication, the long term effects can be horrendous. As is the withdrawal, as you mentioned. Good on you, you brave person!

@@kouranko thanks for your reply, yes I’ve done lots of research myself but not found what you’ve described. I shall definitely check it out, I’ve found that accepting it is good for me but don’t give up hope of getting a cure! It’s good for me to go against the flow, I don’t accept that there is something causing the pain, I know the difference between fibro pain and real pain so it’s not difficult for me to ignore it; I lead a fairly normal life, I don’t accept restrictions and do what I want. Normal aches and pains are amplified of course but at least I know that they are genuine albeit exaggerated. Getting off Painkillers wasn’t too difficult for me because I was so motivated to do it and I followed strict guidelines for preventing withdrawal it’s not too difficult to do it that way but obviously it takes longer. It sounds like you’re experiencing this issue, I hope you find a way to deal with it and have a good fruitful life in the future! 💖

i also have FM and was put on painkillers 25 years ago. im still struggling with getting off them. im down to 2 a day, norc, i refuse to take anything stronger. but have many attempts in the past to get off them resulting on rehabs etc. it so hard. i commend you and respect you! and proud. i know the pain with and without. one day at a time and i hope to one day be in your shoes off of them.

@@kouranko ive had massage therapists tell me they were shocked by the tension i carry in my whole body because of FM. most massage does nothing, in fact i find it irritating and i know it isnt the persons fault. its my body literally fighting them off me unintentionally like a cat tenses up when its about to lunge, it has to be deep tissue, but im literally crying the whole time from the pain and release. people touch you and it feels like they drove their finger into the bone. noone gets it they will be like, i barely touched you!. sleeping for 5 hours because i wake up aching, then awake for 3 hours and back tp sleep for 5, in a cycle endlessly. i hate it.

@@hollyshaw-elliemae that’s how I am, bad muscle tension! I had acupuncture and it made it worse, the only thing that helped temporarily was myofascial release, but like the painkillers my body got used to it and it didn’t work anymore. Getting off painkillers is definitely not an easy thing to do but if you can cut down a tiny bit at a time it’s easier. I had to take capsules apart and reduce the dose that way, but once I got down to cocodamol I could cut them up, once you get to the point where they don’t seem to do anything you can try missing the odd one out and gradually increase the time between taking them until you get off them. Time and patience is important, don’t be too impatient to stop! Good luck, I hope you get there 💖

really, that had this type of effect on you? Only benzo's have that euphoric effect on me (also pregabs).

@@5izzy557 It wasn't a physical effect, or even something that I noticed at first. Honestly it wasn't until some years later when I realized that I no longer had any highs OR lows ... just a constant level of 'don't care enough to care'. It took my kids pointing out that I no longer had any emotion in any direction other than 'exist' that it became clear.

@@user-fc3vp9yz2o How do we know that was that chemical? Could have been a number of other factors, you know what i mean? also i understand what you're saying, although at the same time it's different to these addictive euphoric effect drugs. Opioids, benzo's ect....

​@5izzy557 it's the most common symptom. In fact it has alot to do with school shooters. SSRI's we're prescribed in high doses to every single one of them. Every single one. The feeling of not caring is also described as watching yourself experience life it's like you're playing yourself in a video game. The reason it's not noticed by the patient. Is because the pharmaceutical company's have made sure that you have to be slowly introduced to higher and higher doses. So thebtransiti9n happens without your ability to realize that. Like a frog in a pot of water slowly boiling alive. Once you have reached this point. You no longer remember that there was a different feeling before the first pill. There was a very recent study don't that found that SSRI's and in fact depression have absolutely nothing to do with how much serotonin you produce. Which the manufacturer knew before it was even FDA approved. Yet they pushed it anyways. Look into it I'd you don't believe me

@@5izzy557honestly pregablin you’ll loose the bone 🦴 in jaw and be left with no teeth

Could you maybe help me with what you understand about it? I've been taking for 10 years! I want to understand the reaction to the brain with all this. I feel nothing wen I take them. So I barely do. But wen I dont .. sick. My doc dont care. I dont want these in my life anymore and any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

​@@izzyk1088if you stop taking them you will die! You have been on them too long! You must find a specialist that will ween you off! Do not stop taking them!

Please donate to people that need clean drinking water around the world. Thank you.

Liar. Thief ..

No thanks lol😢​@@5izzy557

He's brottish🤣🤡

He's brittish😂😂

I was accepted to be given this treatment, but I couldn't afford it. Which was very sad! I have been wanting to try it for years. Unfortunately also the one I was prescribed was high in THC, the highest dose you could get, for the physical pain etc. I know the canabinoids will help more with other brain stuff and psychological stuff. I really hate being stoned. I can't bear it anymore. My brain is like a radio tuned into every station. I even went almost to God last time. It was so overwhelming, I had to just close myself in a dark room while I totally tripped out, went into the cosmos, expanded far too much for comfort. Mind you, that was smoking, I'm interested to know, in case I'm ever rich enough to afford it, when you take the oil high in THC does it make you feel stoned? Is it possible I would trip out like that? It's the same reason I have up recreational mushies years ago. Last time I had them I swore that was the last time, because I felt if I did it again that would be it, I'd be crazy forever. But I'm very curious about the cannabis oil. It might get cheaper one day! I don't know anyone who's tried it or been prescribed the dose I was. I think it was 8mg THC but was a few years back so I can't remember now. I'm being treated for constant chronic pain and CPTSD, anxiety, depression. Mind you now I find out, in my late 50s, I'm also autistic, probably PDA, and have ADHD.

@@kouranko im sorry to hear you had that kind of experiance with thc i wouldnt recommend to anyone to ingest large amounts of it or buy store bought tinctures ,i parallel your adhd and 50s ,do i think the amount of times teachers belted me or people thought they could beat it out of me through the system had an effect on my development ,yes sir but what ive found is im not different to others im textbook
