every day I try go for a short walk and I always have some degree of pain and my feet burn...I hadnt been feeling very well all this week the pain in my shoulders and arms was really getting me down a bit and I had promised my daughter I would look after my 3 year old granddaughter and take her to the park...I love playing games with her anyway I had her with me for six hours we walked to the park (she gets bored really quickly) I concentrated so much on keeping her entertained I forgot about my pain until I got home my feet hurt but I had the best day of my week :-)
also I go on holiday every year with my partner the week leading up to us going my pains are mild and when I am there walking and eating alfresco in the sun i always take painkillers with me and don't feel the need to take them So I don't
tell me your thoughts ? Is it self healing I wonder ?

I feel when one is occupied with doing things they love, the pains sub-side until you these loving things come to an end. So keeping occupied in lovely things is a bonus. That's why staying calm and positive is the key to moving forward. CBT is one of the mindfulness thought proess that helps me daily. x

I couldn't imagine not going to work everyday, it's my salvation it takes my mind off my pain watching the people I care for with mental health problems suffer as they do, I do sometimes have a break from my pain and fatigue these poor people live with there condition every day every year no cure for them, that's when I think how luck I am, I can come and go, make choices, go anywhere I decide even as simple as going for a walk,
I come home exhausted but I have a home family and friends to come home to,
On a happier note, I love holidays, I can be in agony going but sat there in the sun watching the world go by, splashing around in a pool or sea, priceless
I have a couple of hours with my grandchildren yesterday 6 months and 2 years they wore me out for the rest of the day but I wouldn't change my time with them for the world, pain relief is there for a reason, nice soak and an early night bliss 😃

down I try to focus on some positive aspect of my life......and there
are some no matter how bad it is right now. I find I can sort of
"decide" what kind of day I will have. I have to admit I don't seem
to have the kind of awful pain that some live with......I'm blessed
in that respect.

Great posts on here and all so positive! I find that the thought of something is often worse than the actual activity, I get so anxious about things! But if I prepare myself mentally, and it is something I like, I can push thro' the pain. I do try and make sure I am able to rest after a busy day.
Take care, Anne

Still trying to make sense of this tricky condition! I have many days when I find it difficult to do anything. But I do try to push myself when the grandchildren are involved. Yesterday we all had a lovely day out at a farm. A lot of walking and activities involved. Thought i would be wiped out to-day, but no1! I was able to sort a lot of stuff out at home. That is what i call a result! Trouble is, you never know when it is going to happen!
Take care, Anne
