Welcome to my life with chronic pain

This is a blog about moving to control chronic pain.
​Tips and tricks I have learned along the way from a team of people that have taught me how to live better. 

DON'T STRIVE FOR PERFECTION - JUST WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

I started my blog to share all the things I have learned about keeping my chronic pain under control. Acupuncture, massage therapy, exercise, and nutrition can all help with health, pain control, arthritic stiffness, and menopause symptoms. (They did for me. Everyone is different) I watched my mother's doctors treat her pain with opioid drugs for 35 years, and watch as she gained 300 pounds, become addicted, and lose all movement.
When my chronic pain started, I promised myself I would not take pain meds, so I had to find new ways to control my pain. Then after my hysterectomy, I had to control my hot flashes, yup won't take hormones either. I would like to share what I have learned from all the professionals in my life, from therapists, doctors, personal trainers and to the wiser older women in my life that have taken the same path as me.

PHYSICAL THERAPY - YOGA - WALKING

I have had to learn to do my own physical therapy through following some great experts on youtube that really help my recovery. I use static stretching, strengthening and yoga to help my pain.   

NUTRITION THROUGH REAL FOOD

Everyday you have to navigate a toxic nutritional landscape. You have to hunt and gather in a world of advertising and industrial farming.  It's hard to know what to buy and what to eat. It's different in all parts of the US but with a little research you can find places near you to get safe and nutritious food.
