When I wake up I do a \"pain assessment\" to see where I might need to put attention for that particular day. \n\nWhile I don't consider this to be a gift,<br> in some ways it is. I have had to learn to avoid things that make my pain worse and to do things that lessen my pain. For this reason,<br> I avoid a lot of toxins that would otherwise make me sicker and get a lot of nutrition and other good inputs that I would not seek or get without this effort. So in some ways,<br> my health is actually better by being in pain.\n\n Because this is only one of my severe health issues,<br> I take it as it comes,<br> try not to complain,<br> and do the best I can depending on how bad the pain is on that day. I'm in a lot of chronic pain groups and this seems to be the best course for me after watching and learning from others.\n\nOther than that - my best strategy is daily gentle movement no matter how much I do not want to do it on that day :) \n\nWishing you a day where pain is not at the top of the list.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"blog\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\" " |
