Congrats on lasting that long !!!! I couldn't do it yet for that long as my spine is so messed up now. L2,3,&4 discs have pretty well completely disintegrated. I just found this out. Also have arthritis all over pretty bad too and inflammation outside both of my hip joints. The fibro has now moved into my joints too. My rheumatologist started me on pain meds --- tramadol and meloxicam in addition to the 2,400 mg. of Gabapentin that I take at night. It's helping, so that's a blessing. I'm gonna find a way to deal with all this mess. It helps sooo much when people on here send gentle hugs, love, & support, & encouragement to me, so I'm paying it forward... Sending gentle hugs, love, support, & encouragement to you. ππΆπ―ππ
Yes yes yes
I have RA, fibromyalgia and Lupus. I was on all the medication 5 years ago when I realized I was addicted to the pain killers...I was taking hydrocodone 5, 7.5, and 10mg, oxycodone, and was on the fentenyl pain patch, four antidepressants, sleeping medication, medication to wake up, etc.
I'm drug free now. All I take to manage pain is Tylenol and Ibuprofen. My joints are stiffening up, so I'm hoping yoga will help.
One day at a time, one step at a time. I'm going to do this.
I'm sore this morning....Gotta keep moving!!
I started an introduction to yoga video today...I couldn't last more than fifteen minutes, but I will try again tomorrow. My body needs this!!
Yes I do both it does help when I do it
