    Personal and historical migraine attacks - Author Celia Svedhem explains!

    Migraine is a very challenging situation for many people. Having migraine herself, Celia started to think about how to get better because nothing seemed to work! 
    Also, she started writing her own story and adding famous historical figures who also had migraine. Was Alice in Wonderland actually an aura.....?
    Just to throw something intriguing into this episode, I can reveal that we also talk poison.....and children.....and somewhere you will find the Bible.
    So - you are more than welcome to listening in on this fresh episode!

    Third year!
     
    As a bonus gift for my devoted listeners - here is a Christmas story written by Al Andrews which I by permission was granted to read.

    Now, sit down in your favourite chair, make some Swedish Glögg and listen for a few minutes. If you like it - don´t be a spoiler but tell your friends to listen to it as well!

    Narrative and surgery - a winning combo!

    Narrative and surgery - a winning combo!

    Season 4 is here, maybe long awaited !! 
     
    A big Thank You to everyone who is listening and continues to listen to the new episodes. You never know what the next episode will deal with ……
     
    This time - meet Erwin Lindén! A physiotherapist whose exercises I’ve seen on social media make me strain my muscles just watching them.
    But that’s not why he’s here. Working at a back surgery clinic - what is his role? What does he think about surgery for back pain?
     
    We also talk about the Narrative. Mumbo jumbo or something tangible? Dose response - is that only about pain pills or could you talk about exercise in this matter too?
    If you get pain when exercising, should you continue or just rest?
    This and a lot more is covered or at least touched upon in this episode.
    Being an integral part of his pod Tyngre Rehab, Erwin this time is the invited guest in my pod. I am so happy he said yes, and you will be happy you listened to him!

    2022 Conclusion - this happened!

    2022 Conclusion - this happened!

    I guess there are lots of recaps of 2022, but no one like this! Because here you get to know about every single episode I published this year. It could be a cheapskate for letting people think you listened to them all. Or a reminder of what you should listen to again. 
     
    For anyone interested in pain and it’s treatment. Or interested in anything randomly not related to pain. Because that’s how my episodes are. You never know what will hit you. 
     
    THANKS for listening in 2022 and keep going next year!

    Outsmart the pain S3E8 - Three patients!

    Outsmart the pain S3E8 - Three patients!

    Yet another episode!
    This time it’s a single one - that’s me talking. Although I give you a hint why I am not particularly fond of seminars, leadership lectures, social media quotes and even TED talks, this is not the main issue at hand.
    No, I will give you a small glimpse of the intriguing world working with people. Three out of hundreds of patients I meet every year, but they give a special story I think is both enlightening and interesting. Told by me. 
    And I talk about Alaska. And why should listen to other episodes.
    Come jump right in and join me!
