Pain - How Do You Manage Yours?

By Shared
Our 'brother' site FibroMen is conducting a survey on pain treatment and management and they'd love to hear your views:

​What works for you, what doesn't work and what made you worse?

I've had years and years of different medications and treatments, a lot of them absolutely useless, a lot of them with side effects far worse than the pain they're meant to treat. Have you had a similar journey?

​To go to the survey follow this link FibroMen Pain Survey - and then come back and comment here.

My work life has been exceptionally busy, as has my home life, and the two lives combined have made for a falling off of a number of my previously enjoyed activities. Blogging has been a secondary thought and, although I still get prompts and hints to write about, I just haven't had the time, or inclination to sit in front of my desktop and write. This will change in 2019.

Another previously enjoyed activity that has taken a back seat this year, or at least since August, is my gym membership.

And to get no benefit of membership (actually using the facilities and classes) is really frustrating me. This, too, will change in 2019.

Work and family life seem to have overtaken everything - not in a bad way, as trips out with my daughter are one of the highlights of my we…
