Self Care - 3

   If you haven't checked the previous  step , please do so as its important you look at all the possible options to manage your situation. This post I will talk about external factors and see if making different choice will help you in the long run. If you and your family members do different chores, try to pick up chores which has a little bit of flexibility on when you do it. This could be washing clothes if you have washing machine, washing dishes ( using dishwasher if available) etc.                   Couple of simple things you can keep in mind is, with dishes for example if you are washing before your dishwasher gets full due to running out of some utensils ( spoons, bowls, plates etc), get extra of those. Same thing applies for clothes too.   As most of us will have chronic neck pain and pain associated with neck issues, its important you start looking down with your eyes ( whenever possible) rather than ...

Hypermobility and pain

I was diagnosed with hsd last year which explained my last ten years of pain and fatigue.  All throughout I wasn’t sure why I suddenly got “lazy”, suddenly lost interest in my career, felt tired all the time. Sometimes when the pain was glaring and obvious I was blaming my knee injury for which I had to get multiple surgeries, ergo problems etc ( will write up about my medical history and path to diagnosis in a separate post).

It doesn’t mean I am pain free ( and I don’t even know if I will ever be), but I feel I can continue this path to reduc...

Baby steps first

When I was trying to make sense of the diagnosis, I started to see how I was up screwing things up more in the last decade.  Pushing myself in the gym, pushing myself to play sports without understanding the after effects, taking yoga classes and trying to persist with it ( and there was my work life which needed me to be on laptop all the time).  When you are in pain without doing anything, these are like hammer on your body. There were brief moments when I felt I was getting better but it was always followed by things getting worse every single time. In the last couple of years I decided, I am going to try rehabilitating myself but it will be on my terms and my understanding of my own body. I decided I will explore different ways to tackle ( use internet, physiotherapy, my own versions of exercises, food habits, lifestyle , massages, braces etc). I keep repeating to myself that things will go wrong, and wrong it did, but I tried to tell myself again and again that the idea i...
