Improved Neck Pain

My last post noted my neck pain and the reason for it. Well, I took some much needed rest and feel better, still have a bit of pain trying to pop up now and then, but for the most part it is gone:)

Here is a list I created for myself:

- Start slow on my activity level, remember you just recovered from a flare-up.
- Time all activities, even if you feel like you can continue, stop and rest. Take it slow.
- I will not commit to more than I can handle.
- I will let others know what I can and cannot do.
- Be grateful for what you can do and remember to share your experience with others.

I hope and pray this information has helped someone today.

Hello diamondvw1,

You are very welcomed, I hope I am helping someone. Just knowing someone can start to understand how we feel. There are so many struggling and so many people that feel defeated. I don't want anyone to feel that way. I know what it feels like.

Thank you for your comments.

I am so sorry to hear about your neck pain because I know what it is like to have it. Do yourself a favor and rest. Make sure you are able to sleep deeply, one of my problems was not going into what they call REM, a deep sleep that helps your body heal.

Also, I should have some neck exercises noted somewhere on my site. Take a look at those and try them out.

I hope you can ease your neck pain and I wish you a pain and fatigue free day!
