@charliegirl thank you for the recommendation of the red light from Verilux. I have tried red light therapy, however in a therapy/spa situation. I have been thinking about buying a red light for home use. Yes, I agree getting outside does help even if just for a little does help your mood. It does help to have a community like this one with people who are in the "same or similar boat as you", even though our medical conditions can vary widely, however pain is uncomfortable. I will look into getting the red light from Verilux. I also do meditations and mindfulness videos on you tube tv and they help me. I have found help from a Functional Medicine Dr. who did extensive bloodwork/lab work on me. I have a health/food coach, who calls every 2 weeks to check and see how I am doing on my food choices and eating. I highly recommend seeing a functional medicine Dr. if you haven't already seen one. Warning, insurance doesn't always pay for all services with a Functional Medicine Dr, so there are out of pocket expenses. I learned that I have abnormal thyroid lab results, going to a Endocrinologist soon to get it further checked out. I have been having fatigue, trouble swallowing, dry mouth, sore throat at times, which could be due to thyroid issues. I am getting speech therapy to help with the situation. I am working on the exercises they give for me to do at home. I had knee surgery in Sept and still having a lot of knee pain, so back to the Knee Dr. for me! Praying and hoping it can be fixed or maybe a cortisone shot or another MRI to see what else is going on. I agree, our thoughts are powerful and that is an area I need to improve on. Hope everyone has a great day!
