And doctors are basically waiting for my knee to collapse to replace it. Me I’m looking to avoid a collapse but at the 10k out of... Continue Reading →
Chronic pain affects people in different ways, but I really don’t think people understand how it can effect our body confidence.
Are on the verge of a meltdown, your feeling an impulsive urge to yell, scream, cry,? Do you know that every time you lose your cool, you are giving away your power. I know it’s often easier said than done But, when we react impulsively and unconsciously we become a victim of the circumstances; we... Continue Reading →
Developing healthy eating habits isn't as confusing or as restrictive as many people imagine. The essential steps are to eat mostly foods derived from plants—vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes (beans, peas, lentils)—and limit highly processed foods. For most of my life, I ate the standard American diet and meals that were heavy in meat and processed foods. I went to... Continue Reading →

As we finally approach the end of winter the pain has probably began to increase in regards to spondylolisthesis, or any other bone or joint problem. I have been blessed to have several bone issues. Bone pain is always worse in winter and long rainy cool spells. This may just be some odd coincidence, but... Continue Reading →
I used to be stressed all the time. Especially when trying to manage life with one or two chronic conditions. Now it's occasional stress and pain all depends..... But I have found some relief and I believe it's because I have learned to relax using a variety of methods. My favorite is breathing 4-7-8 I... Continue Reading →
Make sure you are doing what is important to God—not just what is important to everyone else you know. We gave a tendency to worry more about what other people think vs what God thinks From an early age we work to get the approval from others,whether it was proving to our parents that we...

Once we accept the reality of the current moment (no matter how unpleasant it may be) for what it is, and not what we wish it were, we can turn our attention to ways to improve it. This I find true in any situation. Living with chronic pain can throw your life upside down. It’s... Continue Reading →
