I've just created a FB group named "The Pain Posse." A place where young people living with chronic pain can chat, complain and discuss everything that happens in your life as a result of living with chronic pain.
Even if you're not "young" anymore but your pain started when you were young (& probably stole your 20's from you) come and join the group :) Everyone is welcome x
What, so now double denim is fashionable??! This is why I don't follow trends. No matter what the magazines are advertising & the stores are selling if you're not sure about it, don't wear it!
In five yrs time it'll be the fashion slaves & models in the magazines that you'll be looking back & laughing at, not yourself.
Fashions fade, STYLE IS FOREVER!
So I've started a job this wk which ticks most of the boxes for a job that won't aggravate my back condition; short hrs, involves a combination of walking, sitting & standing, no lifting required, flexible hrs.
But as a face to face market research interviewer I have this week been sent to bloody random suburbs in the middle of bum fuck nowhere. As you can see below.
Well it seems that whenever I get a remedial massage I leave the appointment feeling good but eventually feel like I've been bashed into a coma.
I come home feeling energised but then my back starts to ache so I lay on my heat mat with the intention on getting up in 20mins when the pain settles down.
10mins later I've fallen into a very deep sleep and am having some crazy ass dreams.
I eventually wake up and 5hrs have passed and I'm like "What year is it??!"
The massage was fairly sore at the time but the way my body responds afterwards is like it's been beaten black & blue & my muscles need an extremely long nap to recover from it.
Mind you this doesn't happen every time I get a remedial massage (thank goodness!) but usually when it's been more than 3 wks since my last one. Solution: somebody design an affordable massage device that ACTUALLY feels like a deep tissue massage so I can get one every wk instead of when I can afford it.
