== Find Connections Between Life Events and the Onset of Neuroplastic Pain: Creating a Timeline ==

One technique that can be used to determine if you have Neuroplastic Pain is to create two parallel timelines. The first is a timeline of neuroplastic symptoms and the second is a timeline of life events. Neuroplastic symptoms can begin in childhood and adolescence and can include headaches, stomach aches, dizziness, depression and anxiety. In addition to chronic pain, other neuroplastic symptoms to consider including are heartburn, IBS, numbness, multiple chemical sensitivities, unexplained rashes, eating disorders, insomnia heart palpitations, tinnitus, etc. Life events to consider include births, deaths, marriage, divorce, traumatic experiences, retirement, employment, relocation, or any other major life change. After you create the timelines, line them up and see if there is any correspondence between the life events on one timeline and the neuroplastic events on the other.  If there is a correlation, this may be a sign that it is neuroplastic pain. If you want to take the exercise a step further, you can identify the emotions you were feeling at the time the symptom started.
