Default Loretta

I agree with ur regimine. Alternative medicine, lots of water, eating healthy when my tummy allows me to eat, guided imagery, meditation, candles, soothing music, curbing the stress (haha), floor exercises, bike & movement with cardio for the chronic pain is so me. Journaling used to be a daily exercise...no longer. Cant write due to the TOS or is it the RSD? I have a high sensitivity to drugs but still have to use them on a daily basis.

In 14 years, I've gone from 6 pills per day down to 3. I was on 3200 mg neurotin to nothing. I had dailey electric jerks, jolts, etc and gradually got off this drug and don't have spasms any longer. My diet is high in anti-oxidants and superfoods, so trying to help myself thru healthy eating.
Take care, loretta soft hugs
