Check out the definition.
This is something that we "Manage". We Do Not cure it!
Unless, you're one of those lucky few, who get it right early.
To go back to the beginning,
We are Managers.
WE must manage our lives, our pain, any other lives that intermingle with our own, and any physical activities out of the ordinary, must be managed.
And, we must exercise!
Use it or Lose it!
(Think about that. You get to a point that's so bad, how can you exercise?)
These are the folks I worry about.
The triangle of RSD CARE.
Your Meds
You and your Neurologist > Together, strong communications.
Your Mind / Attitude
You and Your NeuroPsychiatrist (Pain management psych), Strong communications.
Your Body.
EXERCISE. USE IT, OR, LOSE IT!
No matter what!
Get to a warm pool, and walk, walk, walk!
Or, just walk anywhere you can!
Some days, we just "go down" with the pain.
The next day, we've got to Rally!
And, exercise for two days!
Keep Moving!
Don't turn on the TV!
Until you've taken a walk!
Move your ***!
Love to Ya'll,
