First of all, thanks to everyone for “agreeing to disagree” with me and my little rant. It’s nice to know that most people are still capable of being rational, and all over fairly decent human beings.

Now on a completely unrelated note:
I hurt. All over. All the time.
After two years of gaining weight (not a lot, but enough to be unhealthy), not exercising, and not eating very well, it’s finally caught up with me.
For the past 4 months or so, I’ve been suffering from Chronic Pain. Not like the disorder where it can’t be solved, but just the fact that I am always in pain. Mostly back pain. It’s getting so bad that it’s now making me physically tired. I could sleep 12 hours a night and still not feel rested. I go to sleep hurting, and I wake up hurting.
So dear readers, aside from diet and exercise (I’m starting my new program, Body for Life, on Monday) – what do you suggest? Other than drugs (and I already take more that I would like), and specialist treatments that I can’t afford, do you have any other ideas?
Massages. Find someone with a fascination for backs and get massage after massage after massage. =)
Go to a nautropathic doctor. I swear by my doctor- she truly saved my life.
massages. massage therapy. rubs. blowjobs. stuff like that. 🙂
Body For Life is *AWESOME*! 😀
Make sure you take before and after pictures. Even if you think it’s silly, or won’t show anybody.. you won’t remember your old body — so take pictures!!
I can’t afford a gym membership right now (and don’t have the weights and whatnot at home :O ), but i’ve been waiting to do Body For Life for quite a while. It is possibly going to be a Christmas Present (the membership, not Body For Life 😉 ).
HEEH
aromatherapy. epsom salts. massage.
what peanut said. 🙂
i’ll look up some more in my wacky alternative healing books for you, too, jen. and if you want, i can put together an aromatherapy blend for you to use in the bath or in a diffuser.
just lemme know. 🙂
epsom salts baths.
stretching before you go to bed.
giving your muscles a vigorous massage when you put on your lotion in the morning/evening. just a few extra squeezes here and there in your most painful of areas will help circulation and release some tension.
drink more water than you think you need to.
take a multi-vitamin.
