<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">What was screenwriter / screenwriting teacher <strong>Terrel Seltzer</strong>’s mantra? Her simple and powerful question at the beginning of class:  </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">“What makes a story?&#8221;  </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">The answer:  &#8220;Someone we care about wants something badly and is having a terrible time getting it.”</span></h3>
<p>Someone we care about (the protagonist or another character) wants something badly and is having a terrible time getting it.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     </span><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">*  </span> </strong></strong></h2>
<p>As I compose this blog post &#8230;  I am thinking about the precious people and  the 4-legged kids in my life, past and present. What do I want in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic?  I want resources to wellness for everyone in this world.  Two books have helped millions of people, including me and the people in my life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Dr. Norman Doidge&#8217;s first book<em></em></h3>
<h2><em>The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science</em></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Dr. Norman Doidge&#8217;s second book</h3>
<h2 id="title"><em>The Brain&#8217;s Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity</em></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Chapter titles in both books are in this blog post &#8211; below.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     <strong>*     * </strong></strong></span></h2>
<p>I am thinking about <strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://vickiweiland.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Vicki Weiland</a>  </span></span></strong>(developmental editor). Women&#8217;s National Book Association had brought this vibrant spirit into our lives when we were board members at the San Francisco chapter.</p>
<p>Vicki&#8217;s life became severely difficult when illness appeared; diagnosis was not immediate. Guillain-Barre syndrome.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/guillain-barre-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20362793" target="_blank">https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/guillain-barre-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20362793</a> says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Guillain-Barre (<em>gee-YAH-buh-RAY)</em> syndrome is a rare disorder in which your body&#8217;s immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms.&#8221;  &#8230;.   &#8220;Although most people recover from Guillain-Barre syndrome, the mortality rate is 4% to 7%.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">What did  dear Vicki want the last ten years of her life? What did we, who loved her, want for her? <strong>Restored health!</strong></span></h3>

Weiland - photo by Teresa Jade LeYung</p></div>
<p><strong>Vicki wanted the pain to go away</strong> (often 10 on the scale)&#8230; <strong>to go away through organic paths.</strong> <strong>She wanted NOT to suffer other symptoms caused by side effects of prescribed drugs.</strong> By the time Vicki tried the healing modalities described in Dr. Norman Doidge&#8217;s books (including laser light treatments which alleviated pain in parts of her body) &#8230; her system had  already been overwhelmed by the years of prescriptions that only &#8220;tricked&#8221; her Beautiful Brain (&#8220;BB&#8221;) for short periods of time <strong>while pain pathways hijacked other brain functions - </strong> <strong>impacting emotions, problem-solving, memory, creativity &#8230;.</strong></p>
<h3>Our precious friend died in June this year 2021.</h3>

<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Who is Dr. Michael Moskowitz? He is &#8220;Physician Hurt, Then Heal Thyself: Michael Moskowitz Discovers That Chronic Pain Can Be Unlearned&#8221; which is Chapter 1 in Dr. Norman Doidge&#8217;s second book.</span></h3>

<p>I am thinking about <strong>Dr. Danielle Rosenman</strong> who opened a new world to me when she coached me to retrain beautiful brain last year and led me to the workbook written by Dr. Michael Moskowitz and Dr. Marla Golden. Thank you, Steven Falk (Dr. Rosenman&#8217;s husband), for sharing wonderful news that Dr. Rosenman&#8217;s own health is improving. May Dr. Rosenman continue to get stronger and stronger, on her way to complete wellness soon!</p>
<p>I am thinking about my mentor <strong>author Lynn Scott</strong> (author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Joyful-Encounter-Mother-Alzheimer-Clients/dp/0595362117" target="_blank"><em><strong>A Joyful Encounter: My Mother, My Alzheimer Clients, and Me</strong></em></a>) who taught me the meaning of courage and compassion. Lynn says she is experiencing more symptoms in her illness.  I&#8217;m thinking about Lynn&#8217;s housemate Bob who had a heart attack and is in the hospital; I&#8217;m thinking about Lynn&#8217;s friend Diana who has cancer.</p>
<p>I am thinking about <strong>Maxine Hong Kingston</strong> &#8211; the author who taught me self-forgiveness through her book <em><strong>The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts</strong></em>  and also inspired me to use the written word to speak up (through the birth of my novel <em><strong><a href="https://lovemadeofheart.com/Love-Made-of-Heart-a-Daughter,-a-Mother,-a-Journey-Through-Mental-Illness.html" target="_blank">Love Made of Heart</a></strong></em> ).  Maxine&#8217;s words have been godsend every since Dr. Susan Thackrey (San Francisco) advised me to read  <em>THE WOMAN WARRIOR</em>around  1985.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">I want for everyone new vitality! That&#8217;s what I want!</span></h3>
<p>I am thinking about <strong>Kristiane McKee Maas</strong> (longhorn cattle rancher and creator of beautiful events),  artist, curator, and founder of <a href="https://www.aplaceofherown.org" target="_blank">A Place of Her Own</a> <strong><a href="https://www.cynthiatom.com" target="_blank">Cynthia Tom</a></strong>, artist and author <strong>Gale Henshel</strong> (her book is <em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dyslexia-My-Gift-Story/dp/1611702399" target="_blank">Dyslexia, My Gift, My Story</a></strong></em>), <strong>Lakshmi Hannah Kerner</strong>, author <strong>Mahyar A.

<p>I am thinking about these dear folks and other friends and other mentors and mentees &#8230; who are dealing with loss of health or loss of relationships.</p>
<p>Addendum:</p>
<p>November 22 morning &#8211; I just read email from dear Madame Hamou in France. I must tell Madame Hamou about Dr. Doidge&#8217;s books &#8211; translated into French and other languages. May Madame Hamou continue to get stronger and stronger, on her way to complete wellness soon.</p>

<p>November 12 and 13, 2021 , I am running the movie <em><strong>THE SIXTH SENSE</strong></em>(written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan).  And to think I didn&#8217;t want to watch this movie when brilliant screenwriter / teacher Terrel Seltzer polled the class. The mother character Lynn Sear (portrayed by Toni Collette) is the most memorable element for me. What did Lynn want for her 9-year-old son Cole?  What did Cole (portrayed by Haley Joel Osment) want, actually, what didn&#8217;t he want? What did Dr. Malcolm Crowe (portrayed by Bruce Willis) want? What did  his wife Anna (portrayed by Olivia Williams) want? What did the other characters (whom only Cole could see) want?</p>

<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">So many great books on wellness.  The two that continue to show me how our beautiful brains are awesome conductors working the orchestras we call &#8220;Bodies&#8221; are the two books written by Norman Doidge, M.D. <a href="https://www.normandoidge.com" target="_blank">https://www.normandoidge.com</a><br />

<h2><span style="color: #800080;">Dear Reader,</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800080;">I wish you total wellness.</span></h2>
<p>If not for shingles and postherpetic neuralgia which led to the past 12 months of reading and rereading books and listening to lectures about pain and our brains &#8230; I wouldn&#8217;t have learned why I experience pain and other unpleasant signals when there is no new injury to a body part.</p>
<p>After receiving COVID-19 vaccine &#8230; I experienced occasional pain signals in my right knee and in my right shoulder blade, then, dull headaches, and, my two front teeth felt weak.  The knowledge I have gain about pain signals helped me understand what could be happening and how I could help myself feel better.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong> *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *</strong></span></h2>
<h3><strong>I have learned fr</strong><strong>om webinars and the workbook</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><em>TRANSFORMING THE BRAIN IN PAIN: NEUROPLASTIC TRANSFORMATION </em></strong></h4>
<h3><strong>written by Michael H. Moskowitz, MD &amp; Marla D. Golden, DO  <a href="http://neuroplastix.com" target="_blank">http://neuroplastix.com</a> that &#8230;</strong></h3>
<p>&#8220;We only experience pain when the electrical signals reach the thinking part of our brains.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is why general anesthetics work – by separating the thinking conscious brain from the automatic survival brain. During anesthesia, the survival part of the brain stays active, but, the perceptive part of the brain is turned off.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The brain doesn’t just receive information from the body, but sends directions back out to tell the body what to do.&#8221; (page 4 in workbook)</p>
<p>&#8220;The brain &#8216;reads&#8217; everything going on in the body 30 times a second for an entire life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Acute pain is an alarm going off in the brain that signifies danger and/or damage to the body&#8230;. &#8221; (page 10)</p>
<p>&#8220;Persistent pain &#8230; signals sets up an endless loop between body and brain, inflammatory processes become chronic, anti-inflammatory processes are overwhelmed and the nerve cells dedicated to pain increase up to five-fold.&#8221; (page 10)</p>
<p>&#8220;Acute pain helps with survival, while persistent pain transforms danger into misery.&#8221; (page 10)</p>
<h3><strong>I have learned &#8230; from Clinical Scientist / Professor Lorimer Moseley  <a id="ydpc45c536cyiv2552218930yMail_cursorElementTracker_1628116080362" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6sbi_0lLc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6sbi_0lLc</a> that&#8230;</strong></h3>
<p>&#8220;Pain is our most sophisticated protective device.”</p>
<p>“The term ‘neuroplasticity‘ refers to the adaptability of our nervous system. The other side of neuroplasticity is sometimes called ‘the dark side’.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You can experience SEVERE pain but have NO damage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You can experience NO pain but have severe damage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Pain depends on how much danger your brain THINKS you are in, not how much danger you are really in.&#8221;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong> *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *</strong></span></h2>
<p><strong>As I was saying &#8230; after receiving COVID-19 vaccine &#8230; I experienced occasional pain signals in my right knee and in my right shoulder blade, then, dull headaches, and, my two front teeth felt weak.</strong></p>

<div style="padding-left: 30px;">In Step 2. Next, our cells display the spike protein piece on their surface. Our immune system recognizes that the protein doesn’t belong there. This triggers our immune system to produce antibodies and activate other immune cells to fight off what it thinks is an infection. This is what your body might do to fight off the infection if you got sick with COVID-19.</div>

<h3>mRNA Vaccines and Viral Vector Vaccines have this in common  &#8211; &#8220;&#8230; activate other immune cells to fight off what it &#8216;thinks&#8217; is an infection.&#8221;</h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong> *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *</strong></span></h2>
<p>I know that my brain records my experiences throughout my lifetime &#8230; and that pain depends on how much danger my brain THINKS I am in, not how much danger I am really in.</p>
<p>Also, I understand why my brain would send me &#8220;danger signals&#8221; (my knee, shoulder blade)  after vaccination if my immune system &#8220;thinks&#8221; there is an infection in my body.</p>
<p>Why my two front teeth?   I&#8217;ve never sustained injury there.  Have I experienced pain there?  Yes I have!  For three years during my teenage years, my teeth were tortured once a week when the orthodontist tightened the wires. The front teeth needed the most &#8220;straightening&#8221; (they did sustain &#8220;injury&#8221;).  Even though that was 45 years ago, my brain remembers the pain!</p>
<p>To communicate to my teeth, my knee, my shoulder blade, and my temples &#8230;  that I have not sustained new injuries &#8230;  I put my hand on each body part and also tell my Brain &#8220;I have not injured myself.&#8221;  Voila!  Pain signals go away.  Beautiful Brain (I call &#8220;BB&#8221;) wants to protect Body, therefore BB occasionally sends signals, and, it&#8217;s up to me to &#8220;talk back&#8221; (communicate).</p>
<p>Today (October 31, 2021), while enjoying my walk, I felt an itchy stinging pain on left elbow, then the signals flowed down my arm. I applied firm comforting squeezes on those areas with my right hand. The pain went away.</p>
<p>Then today (November 3, 2021, 13:44) I felt a sharp pain on LEFT upper arm where vaccine would have entered BUT I had received the vaccine on my RIGHT arm.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Beautiful Brain sending me  <span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;false alarms&#8221;</span>.</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>In no way am I saying that retraining my brain is easy work.  I am still a newbie.  I am happy to report that I&#8217;ve developed a new attitude &#8212; I look forward to each new day.

<h2>About shingles and postherpetic neuralgia</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/postherpetic-neuralgia/symptoms-causes/syc-20376588" target="_blank">https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/postherpetic-neuralgia/symptoms-causes/syc-20376588</a>  says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Postherpetic neuralgia is the most common complication of shingles. The condition affects nerve fibers and skin, causing burning pain that lasts long after the rash and blisters of shingles disappear.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The chickenpox (herpes zoster) virus causes shingles. The risk of postherpetic neuralgia increases with age, primarily affecting people older than 60. There&#8217;s no cure, but treatments can ease symptoms. For most people, postherpetic neuralgia improves over time.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>I am forever grateful to the excellent care that &#8220;Country Doctor LaH&#8221; and her precious Gracie gave me during my illness.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>I am forever grateful to everyone who cares about me and encourages me to continue helping myself heal.</strong></span></p>

<p>As I write &#8230; I am running the movie <em>ONLY WHEN I LAUGH</em> (screenplay by Neil Simon; starring Marsha Mason, Kristy McNichol, James Coco, Joan Hackett; continuity by Joan Samson).  I love stories about the protagonist&#8217;s taking control of her/his own life, in spite of . . . .  The mother-daughter storyline &#8211; Wow!</p>
<p><em>ONLY WHEN I LAUGH</em> is based on the play <em>THE GINGERBREAD LADY</em> by Neil Simon.</p>
<p>Taking control of one&#8217;s own life!  Taking control of one&#8217;s own body!  Taking control of one&#8217;s own thoughts!</p>

<p>Taking control of my own life!  Taking control of my own body!  Taking control of my own thoughts!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;What I Learned About the Brain from Dr. Norman Doidge&#8217;s 2 Books&#8221;</p>
<p>I thank Norman Doidge, M.D. and everyone who contributed to his two books.  <a href="http://www.normandoidge.com/" target="_blank">http://www.normandoidge.com/</a></p>
<ul>
<li><em>* The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science</em>  (March 2007 hardcover; December 2007 paperback)</li>
<li>
<p id="title"><em>* The Brain&#8217;s Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity (</em>January 2015 hardcover; January 2016 paperback)</p>

</ul>
<p>On October 21, 2015, I had published my blog post entitled &#8220;<a title="Permanent Link to The Brain’s Way of Healing – Chapter Titles and Index in Book Spark Hope and Motivation to Ask Physicians the Right Questions" href="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/the-brains-way-of-healing-chapter-titles-and-index-in-book-spark-hope-and-motivation-to-ask-physicians-the-right-questions/" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">The Brain’s Way of Healing – Chapter Titles and Index in Book Spark Hope and Motivation to Ask Physicians the Right Questions</a>  As my family members and friends know, what I had learned from Dr. Doidge&#8217;s books helped me help my papa.</p>
<p>While loved ones who are ill or have diseases and do not have the energy to read and process the valuable information, WE do, and WE can help them and ourselves.</p>
<h3>Knowledge that leads to health and wellness &#8211; this is my wish for everyone.</h3>
<p>Dr. Doidge&#8217;s books are most engaging- I learned from the stories &#8211; I did NOT have to look up medical terms; the footnotes were equally engaging.</p>
<p>You have friends who have had . . . Strokes?  Chronic pain?  Suffering from symptoms of MS?  Cerebral Palsy?  Muscular Dystrophy?  Alzheimer’s?  Parkinson’s?  Head injury? Balance problems? Vision problems? Depression?</p>
<p>Dear friend and colleague Elisa Sasa Southard was the one who taught me about hooking attention with no more than 3 talking points in a speech.  Here are mine for this post. I (Teresa LeYung-Ryan) learned that the awesome brain refreshes itself which leads to healing&#8230; with a little help from us:</p>
<p>* LIGHT &#8211; sit in direct natural light (approximately 20 minutes a day).  Florence Nightingale who established the first professional training school for nurses, Sister J. Ward  who was in charge of preemies in a hospital in Essex, England, Soranus of Ephesus (physician in imperial Rome) &#8211; they knew about the healing power of natural light. The Romans had a law &#8220;right to light&#8221; which guaranteed people&#8217;s access to the sun in their homes.</p>
<p>* SELF IMAGE &#8211; look at a photograph of yourself (a photo reminiscent of a time when you felt vital) OR create that picture in your mind&#8217;s eyes &#8211; athletes and musicians know the benefits of visualization as a way of training</p>
<p>* SOUND &#8211; sing the songs from your past (a time when you felt vital)  Sara Davidson&#8217;s April 23, 2009 article “The Songs They Can’t Forget” for<em> The New York Times – </em>The New Old Age – Caring and Coping Blog inspired me to publish my blog post of July 2 (with a P.S. on July 18), 2017  <a title="Permanent Link to Dementia. Alzheimer’s. Losing Memory. Losing Joy. Songs from the Past. Experience Joy Again." href="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/dementia-alzheimers-losing-memory-losing-joy-songs-from-the-past-experience-joy-again/" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Dementia. Alzheimer’s. Losing Memory. Losing Joy. Songs from the Past. Experience Joy Again.</a></p>
<h3>Our amazing brains! Help our brains &#8220;rewire&#8221; (I say &#8220;refresh&#8221;) to enjoy life. Help the people we care about.</h3>
