I’m so sorry that are in so much pain. Be kind to yourself. Acknowledge your pain, but focus on life. Do what you are able to do. Pain is debilitating, but I find that doing a guided body scan, a kind of meditation helps to relax the body and relieve the pain. Jon Kabat Zinn has excellent recordings that you can listen to online on your your iphone.If you are comfortable with a cell phone, try putting his name in and you may get a recording you can use. Dr. Zinn created this guided meditation and uses it in a hospital in Worcester,Mass to help relieve patients who are in pain. I have found it quite effective. It’s possible that. He has created CD’s. I’m not sure. Best wishes.

Thank you for sharing this information. I pray and listen to Christian worship music in the morning.
I manage to get through almost every day without any pain medicine. My body is very sensitive and any type of pain reliever knocks me out including Tylenol! The one thing I use on occasion is Aspercreme or Bio-Freeze. Topical medication is good for isolated spots.

I think I have become “numb” to the pain. It’s been a constant shadow for so many years that I would miss it if it went away! That is a mental health issue…I know.

My mental health is not always great either. I do take meds for the depression and Bi-polar anxiety I’ve had for about 20 years.

But, I am blessed with a family and friends who love me. My Lord Jesus Christ is my comforter and healer. He loves me more than anyone else could ever imagine!

Wishing you a blessed day filled with light and love! 🌻
