Hello CRPS warriors!
Just wanted to share what is working for me and see what other people are doing to cope with their chronic Complex Regional Pain Syndrome pain.
It’s really crazy that a healthy/normal life can be changed in a fraction of a second huh! How are you doing these days? My CRPS, depression and PTSD is all flared up right now. Too much stress at this time but doing what I can to distract myself and giving myself ample self compassion.
I just wanted to share with you that I have had some pain relief with using:
- a medical grade infrared sauna
- Dolphin Neuorstim unit, ( check dolphinmps.com out )
- I meditate several times a day and it helps ground me and brings down the pain levels a bit
- I’m going into week #22 of doing 150 cardio minutes per week (heart beat in the 90 to 130 range is my goal for the 150 minutes) with 2 to 3 weight resistance sessions per week as well
- I do Physio exercises daily to help keep me mobile’ish
- I use my Recognise apps for graded motor imagery to help retrain the brain daily
- eat a healthy, organic plant based diet - anti inflammatory diet
- staying hydrated with water daily and drinking juiced cilantro and celery often
- found some things that interest me and so I’m educating myself to help keep my brain active and be productive in a sense
- play thought provoking/strategy games to help with memory and brain fog
- using essential oils in my diffusers and as a massage oil for pain, immunity, and relaxation etc.
- using the Spoon Theory to help others relate to my situation (educating friends and relatives is tuff)
I’m a natural kinda gal!
What do you do to help yourself stay active and fulfilled?
Just wanting to pick everyone’s brain to see what works for them. 🙏🏼
Education and trying new things to help with the chronic pain and stay sane.
❤️
