Good morning, happy healers! A special thank you to my sweet friend, Mary, who gave me the idea to do a vlog explaining all of the supplements, pills, potions, vitamins, and creams I am using to naturally heal myself. Tomorrow, I am going to film the vlog and show you what I take, how I take it, and what its purpose is in my healing. Thanks, Mary!
RSD/CRPS is quite the rollercoaster when it comes to emotions. A "good" day will come, bringing with it the excitement of healing, and hope is crushed when the next day is bad or worse. I don't want to say or focus on this too much in the early stages, but let's just say I feel a small shift in my pain for the better, requiring one less pain pill throughout the day (still wearing my patch, of course). I'm taking it for what it is and just enjoying the present moment.
I really want to stress the importance of shifting your lifestyle (what you eat, drink, do, say, think, and experience) to promote healing. Traditional medicine is not addressing this complex, full body illness the way it should to find the cause and help the body to heal itself. While traditional medicine has its place in our world, it is severely lacking, and it has failed me. Therefore, I cannot wait for them to find the cause of my illness. I will find it myself, and I will rid myself of RSD/CRPS, Fibromyalgia, Atypical Lupus, and whatever else they have diagnosed me with for the long haul. It is up to us to go home and make the lasting changes for future health and wellness.
Happy Healing!

So glad you've made it through and had lots of sleep afterward. Very important (says the woman who slept about 14 hours last night. But when we need it, we must make sure we get it, right? And it our busy society, it's hard to get a solid 8 hours a night.
Maria- I completely agree with your second paragraph... The Western docs are just leaving me in pain and up-ing my meds as thing are getting worse... but with the traditional stuff they are ever so optimistic about every option and including the whole body and how emotions play in with everything-
I hope you are feeling better!
Praying that you get to experience some of these painfree moments that I am getting...
Can't wait to see the vlog! I agree, people often fail to question their own lifestyles and diets as a cause of medical issues, and I think it's great that you're trying to remedy your illnesses by educating yourself!
i would love to see your video. thank you for sharing with us.
i understand the roller coaster for sure. using both traditional and alternative methods is a good combination for me right now.
Hi Maria, wow, thank you SO much for addressing my question!! I feel special :) :) I know you are very busy with everything, so please do a vlog whenever is a good time for you. I know it is easier to write blogs when time is of the essence. As always, we love you, and thank you for your time, sharing, and pearls of wisdom. -Mary

Find a comfortable place in your apartment to lie on the floor–keep it free and clear so you don’t waste time setting up. Stretch after your shower when muscles are heated up.Ten minutes of stretching while lying down will do.
Stretch slowly and gently as you gradually wake up. Don’t compete with yourself. Focus on relaxing the muscles and letting them slowly ease, instead of vigorously pulling or pushing. Imagine your muscles are elastic bands getting longer, longer, longer!

There are several diet supplements and weight loss products sold in health food shops, through the post, and on the Internet that claim to speed up metabolism. Some of these are just plain useless, others are downright dangerous.
As I was surfing the web one night I came upon a popular forum. I was presented with this video, which is interesting, because this video I have come across before and thought it was another one of those weight loss hypes.I decided this time to watch it and was amazed at all the information that I learned! Just watching the video opened my eyes to all the important points of why we as a society are over weight and why we cannot lose weight! The video is about 25 minutes, so give yourself time to watch it and don’t get caught up in the sales pitch... Just watch the video!
I am an Australian living in Vienna. My wife Cate works for a US Company as their regional Legal Director looking after Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Russia. She travels a lot so I look after her and the cats. We live in an apartment overlooking Stadtpark and my days are blissful. I cycle, read, write, cook, take photographs, play with the cats - and just generally mooch around. Sometimes I take the Merc out of the garage and hammer down the A2. Having now reached retirement age I don't feel guilty about this at all. We have been here since September 2008. Love it!
