Hello @healthytoday
I really like your idea of "trying on" different activities and thoughts! When dealing with chronic health problems it can take a while to find what works. That includes thinking, activities, meds and even the right medical team.
@healthytoday I agree with finding what works for you I encourage you to try everything one at a time, and consistently for at least 10 to 30 days to see if there is any improvement. When you stop it, be sure to check in see how you’re feeling. I find it best to keep the simple notepad with scales of pain, fatigue, etc. Quick to fill out and stay on top of so you can truly track how a particular treatment helps you. Over time you will add different therapies, medications, meditations, exercises, and drop others, etc. that will become your personal “prescription” of how to deal with what you feel best with. We are all individuals, and respond differently to the various treatments available to us. No one person’s experience is going to be exactly like the others. Experiment! Hoping always for healing, but the alternative is learning to manage. Life can be livable again. Personally I have found a combination of good health practices, good doctors, and alternative therapies work best for me. I hope you will find your path soon.
