Hello everyone,
I guess you could call me a random lurker. I love this site and enjoy reading all the information that is posted here. I have been learning and practicing Wicca for almost 7 years. I consider myself Wiccan and I live in the closet. I have not practiced any magick for about 2 years now. I attemp to meditate and even that has been difficult.
I have been 'diagnosed' with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Basically I'm tired all the time and in constant pain. Sometimes the pain is worse than at others. Think of placing your hand on an electric fence and feeling the charge go through your arms and legs light small bits and pieces of lightning looking for a way out of your body. On good days the pain is a constant throbbing ache. Now is not one of those days.
It's been 2 years and the doctors and I are still trying to get it under control. This means I am on medication including the painkiller hydrocodone...smallest dose possible. So I've been told not to practice magick when your medicated or sick. I have always struggled with meditation and when I attempt to visualize, my images run away with me. I am hoping to use meditation, visualization, herbs and essential oils to wean myself off of the medication.
What are your views on practicing magick while on medication? Does anybody have a situation similar to mine? Are their any ideas or suggestions on what herbs and oils would be good for this? Anything you all can suggest would be greatly appreciated.
Blessings,
Shadowsage
