✐ My names...

Voff Uggla is the name I gave my avatar when I joined the Second Life Virtual Community, February 2007. Meaning: 'The barking owl'.

I also have a spiritual name that was given to me summer 1983, Ma Prem Achambho. Meaning: 'Ms. Love and Wonder'. Achambho is also one of my legal names.

The first name I was given, was by my parents. Even though my father is a strict and steadfast atheist, he and my mother named me; Eva. A name from the bible... Adam and Eve?! But they didn't name my brother Adam...lol

When I was 16 years old I changed the 'v' in Eva to a 'w', prononced the same in Swedish. I wanted to be cool and thought Ewa looked better. My father still spells Ewa with a 'v'.

For 10 years I was hanging with people that only knew me as Achambho, I got used to that name. So I made it legal 1989. My legal first names are: Achambho Ewa.

The purpose of giving me a spiritual name was that I shouldn't identify myself with my old name and old life. Now I realized that it didn't matter so much, I listen when I hear Achambho and Ewa.

Now I've been Voff for 6 years and I have several different nicknames on the web. I don't identify myself with any of my names, I understand that names are necessary for a practical reason, living in a society, in the world, etc. In a way, my names have no meaning to me, but it's not all true. I wouldn't like it if someone else gave me a name or a number, I had to use.I've accepted the two names given to me, at my physical bith and my spiritual birth.

Oh, I almost forgot I have an Arabic name as well, I don't remember it though. I had to convert to Islam when I and my ex Persian husband wanted to travel to Iran and visit his family. That happened 1994, I stayed with him and his family in Isfahan (Esfahan) for 2 months.

✐ My teeth again...

This problem with my teeth is worse than I thought. I've noticed that I have them clenched together during sleep, that will explain the pain I have in my jaw, face, neck and shoulder. In my right upper jaw, one of the canine teeth is broken off, the tooth root is still there but there is a gap. So during sleep, with my jaw clenched and the teeth grinding together unevenly, no wonder I'm in pain. I've also noticed that my hands are clenched during sleep, I wake up with my hands as fists. 

So my teeth problems and sleep problems are connected. As I wrote in an earlier post; "sleep is not rest for me", no wonder, if both my jaw and hands are so tense that they become clenched during my "sleep". I have a theory about that; I don't think I get enough deep sleep but too much REM-sleep...!?

This is also effecting my eating habits, when the pain is really bad I can't eat solid foods. Some days I don't eat anything, I only drink lot's of water. I've lost quite a lot of weight since Christmas and I keep losing it. The "menopause fat" is decreasing, which is not so bad. But I don't want to suffer from malnutrition, so I've bought "nutrition drinks" with lot's of protein from the pharmacy.

✐ Toothache

So I've mentioned that I suffer from tootache in previous posts, but it seems to come and go. Around Christmas it was really bad, then it was managable for awhile until a few days ago. Now I have this excruciating pain again... (I'm in horrible pain atm, difficult to write) I feel the pain from the top of my head down to my shoulders on the right side of my body, my eye, ear, jaw, neck, etc. I can't afford to go to the dentist, I only have acess to "over the counter painkillers", which doesn't help much when the pain is this bad.

So from today I'm going to test Brainwave Entrainment, Isochronic Tones. I have one video uploaded on YouTube Dental foci, Dental infection, Toothache. This is an experiment I do, to find out if Brainwave Entrainment and in particulat the videos I'm uploading actually have any  effect, if it works. I will listen for 15 minutes every day for a month. Starting now!

I get back to you about this matter on April 6.

UPDATE! (03-13-13)
I have listened every day, 15 minutes, for 8 days now. Too early to say if it works or not.

UPDATE (03-21-13)
I'm still listening every day for 15 minutes. The excruciating pain is gone, no painkillers for a week. But... I'm also very careful with what I choose to eat, only one meal a day, where I have to chew. Then I drink 'nutrition drinks' with protein for the other 2 meals and lot's of water, 2-3 liters/day.

Update, April 6
