It has been sometime since I have hung around this group. Not sure why I lost touch. I just wanted to express that tonight... I went for a walk - a real walk. For almost a little over a week, I have noticed I haven't been in much pain. Some things have settled in my life and I also stopped drinking my daily diet pepsi every morning (never been a coffee person). I am not sure if this is due to my new habits of forgoing the diet pepsi or slight reduction in stress - or just a good few days. Whatever it is.......I am so happy to have this relief!!! I have heard about the nutrasweet causing joint pains and finally decided if in fact it would make a difference. Like I said, could just be a few good days,,,,,but I am crossing my fingers that something I am doing is keeping the pain away. : )
Lets hope it continues! I like to get out for a walk most days, distance depends on how my legs are each day, also it helps as I have an anxiety problem so it helps to keep that under control.
Glad you are enjoying a few good days, hopefully many more to follow! Stress is so very hard on us, it just brings on endless harm, but it's hard to live in this world without it!
I hope that you will continue to improve with each passing day, I also hope you will keep in touch with us!
Thanks for sharing your good news, we cannot get enough of it!
Good for you KVH! I’m glad to hear you’re having some good days and hope it continues for you. The reduction in caffeine and stress is definitely a good thing. A nice summer helps too. Any other changes that you recognise is worth bearing in mind when learning to get the most out of life with fibro.
Great news, KVH. Don't you just love it? Life with less pain is so much better!
Funny thing about your diet soda. I just started with a new MD last week. She is a fibro specialist with fibro herself. She told me to stay completely away from any artificial sweetners. They cause inflammation. She doesn' t like sugar either, but prefers it to any of the artificials.
My DC told me the same, use sugar, and also is ALWAYS saying NO MARGARINE EVER, better to eat real butter! Said margarine is very close to the same as paint as far as the content! Hey, even Fabio doesn't make me want to spread paint on my bread!
That’s so great … I’m like you trying to figure our why a few good days pop of the blue… What did we do different??? I’m learning to not bother and figure it out just take the good when you have it and ENJOY !!!
SK my chiro said the same thing about margarine … But I never gave up my butter anyway, my grandmother always said don’t skimp on the butter !!! It’s actually a healthy much needed fat !!
I’m sure the cardiologist would argue with us… To bad !! I will never give up my butter
