How to deal with chronic pain?
Move..I found this out the hard way because I had to take a very physical job and after about a month of significantly higher pain- I noticed a shift. Things actually started to subside and the flares got less. I guess I was building strength and stamina without realizing it. Although I did already walk daily, this was different. I didn’t get to sit or stay down like I was used to. The pain was always head to toe and I would find myself wrapped in heat a lot. Insulating myself - but also from life. Living with pain sucks, but not actually living is so much worse. I lost my job. I’m not getting in that bed. I don’t care if I walk in circles. 🤭#RheumatoidArthritis #Fibromyalgia #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Osteoarthritis #acdf #Arthritis #BackPain
