In March of 2010, my daughter was involved in a serious car accident that left her battling the chronic neurological pain disorder Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS/RSD) and changed our lives forever. Follow us along on our journey. Our suitcases have no room for negativity.

It’s one of those bad, bad pain days today.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! 
Thinking about it though, it’s so wonderful how tomorrow is another day, isn’t it?
It may always hurt, but (fingers crossed), at least tomorrow it may hurt just that little bit less. Enough to get us through and allow us to deal with things just that much easier. :) xx

“According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment.. just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. 
And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.”—Deepak Chopra

BOOK REVIEW: "Defeat Chronic Pain Now!", by Charles Argoff, MD & Brad Galer, MD →

project3x5:

Currently on the way to my mailbox!

I’m sure so many of you (if not all) can relate to the fact that once diagnosed, you had to fish around from books to the internet to pamphlets in order to simply wrap-your-head around what was happening to your body, and in order to become informed about your pain.

Which is why upon reading this book review (click on the headline), I immediately clicked order! Of course, it’s not a miraculous encyclopedia filled with all the information we could ever dream of… but FINALLY it’s an indispensable resource to provide us with a better understanding of our pain and how to defeat it. YAY! 

According to the review: written in user-friendly language, it has sections on back and neck pain, headaches, arthritis, cancer pain, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain (including CRPS/RSD). Among many other things, you can learn about nutritional supplements, the importance of different therapies, medications and side-effects, the benefits of multidisciplinary treatments, interventional treatments (ex: nerve blocks), and psychological treatments, etc.

Oh, and did I mention it’s being endorsed and recommended by the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA)? 

Happy Reading! xx

Sometimes life will throw you the most unexpected.  Never fear, because you can make the best of it, no matter how frightening it may be.

Each time it is the most painful ever… and then it gets worse.

Don’t forget: however painful and exhausting your day is, it will come to an end. Some reminders as you start your week from Things We Forget. Happy (?) Monday!
