LIVING IN PAIN, A DAILY REMINDER OUR LIFE GOES ON SO CARPE' DIEM!

Temporary or permanent, pain is the sour taste of life. It reminds us that we are alive and at the same time snatches away some if not all of the quality of our lives. It affects not just you and me but our families, friends and co-workers. Pain also costs thousands upon thousands of dollars in lost work wages.

Pain costs millions of dollars in prescription medications. Pain results in more visits to the doctor or specialist pushing insurance rates higher than we can already afford to pay. Pain just plain and simple takes away the freedom to truly enjoy life.

So, if you're here because you're the one in pain, I empathize with you. If you're a family member, friend or co-worker of the one in pain, I understand your concern but believe me, chronic pain sufferers, we don't want to be in pain. We'd give just about anything to be like we were before being afflicted with the conditions that are generating the pains. Pains that have changed us and make everyday a battle.

We battle the pain, the frustration, the aggravation, the loss of our productivity, the loss of our sexuality, the loss of our womanhood, the loss of our manhood and the loss of dreams we had for our lives. We fight the depressive thoughts and the sadness we see in our loved ones eyes.

Everyday is the start of new hope that we will be able to break free of the chronic pains binds and run down the street singing and dancing, picking up our little girls and boys, tossing the ball, jumping rope, doing whatever it is that we want unrestricted by the pain. We know our family and friends don't fully understand what we are experiencing; hell we barely understand it but we still have to live thru it.

So, for those who just stumbled here, you're welcome to. You need to know what we fight against so you can really support us, help us overcome this plight. We don't want pity. We want you to understand and know that you might not be in pain, Lord knows we hope you never have to suffer like this but your input is just as valuable to remind us chronic pain sufferers that our goal is to return to a life as free of pain as possible and as soon as humanly possible.

Again, welcome and stay awhile, I like the company. Pain itself is no laughing matter, but the act of laughing can be physically and spiritually healing. It helps us breathe deeply, cleanses tense pain from our bodies, gives key muscles beneficial exercise, and lets us travel to an uplifting place of joy. Whether it's a joke, a cartoon, or the antics of a pet, find laughter and enjoy it often

What Causes Fibromyalgia? While the cause (or causes) of fibromyalgia is still unknown, research suggests that the following factors may play a role: Traumatic physical or psychological events, such as an automobile accident or neck injury. A viral or bacterial infection or an autoimmune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Abnormalities in brain chemicals such as serotonin, a neurotransmitter (a substance that carries messages between nerve cells) that plays a role in regulating mood.

Can Lifestyle Changes Help Manage Fibromyalgia? Lifestyle modifications may help improve fibromyalgia symptoms. They include: Exercise – Low-impact aerobics, stretching, and other physical activity. Yoga – stretching, breathing, and relaxing yogic techniques. Stress management – Relaxation/meditation practices, guided imagery, and cognitive-behavioral approaches can help develop new methods for coping with symptoms. Diet/Nutrition - It has been suggested that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 essential fatty acids may help strengthen the body's natural ability to heal. However, no specific diet has yet been proven to improve fibromyalgia symptoms

Breathe Deeply. The Increased Oxygen Can Actually Help Tolerate Your Pains

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Have you been in a funk, not understanding the reason for your bad moods and lack of energy? Are you isolating yourself from others because you never know how you will feel from moment to moment? Have you noticed that friends and family members have backed away from spending time with you? Is living from day-to-day becoming more and more of a burden, with no light in sight? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you may be experiencing a medical illness known as depression.

Chronic pain can make us feel isolated and helpless, especially if its cause is an illness or physical condition for which there's no cure or effective medical treatment. At times of deepest despair, finding ways to nurture our spirits can help us not only cope with the pain, but also discover nuggets of grace, comfort, and productivity that can move us through and beyond the helplessness and hopelessness we feel.

When we are in great pain, finding true peace and comfort is not easy. But it is possible, if we first try to still our worries and fears, both external and internal. Finding a place where there are no noisy distractions is a great start. Enjoying the outward quiet, we can then calm our inner selves and nurture peace within

Chronic headaches can interfere with your relationships, damage your career, and prevent you from reaching your full potential. If you are not getting relief from conventional treatments, hypnosis may be the answer. Numerous clinical trials over the past 30 years have shown hypnosis to be an effective treatment for many types of chronic headaches.

A beautiful piece of music can inspire our spirits and soothe our pain like no other sound. It can also help us get in touch with the absolute joy of living, even if we live with severe pain. Put on your favorite piece of music - instrumental or vocal - sit back, and close your eyes. Let the music carry you away from your immediate pain to a place of calm.

The benefits of a daily exercise regimen can't be overlooked in our battle against most of the chronic pains that we endure. Keeping our body in shape and giving the cells the proper of food and energy helps our bodies as they fight back against the pain that ravages us. I know that when you are hurting the last thing you want to do is move around but if you can fight thru it and at least make a minimal effort everyday to exercise, you will see the benefits.

Don't get carried away with your exercises now. Be sure to see YOUR doctor before you begin any exercise or diet regimen and always follow their advice. In the beginning the best step is a little step and then build from there. Don't get discouraged that you can't run and jump like you once did and keep in mind that you are in one of the toughest fights you will ever be in when you battle severe pains. I found that it helps if you can get a family member or friend to go along with you as you exercise. Whatever it is that you have to do to motivate yourself to get started and keep going, please do it. I have found that I am able to maintain my weight and on days when I have the most severe pain flareups I have been able to bounce back much quicker since I began my exercise regimen several months ago.

So, go ahead, get yours started and please, let me know how you are doing. I've added an exercise page http://www.vinicent-d-holland.4t.com/blank_13.html and also included some great products to help you workout at home or even on the road when you go to visit your family and friends. Check them out and give me your feedback. hollandwebsite@comcast.net I really do want to hear from you.

Agriculture & Argri-Food CanadaAgriculture & Argri-Food Canada reports... "In the U.S., baby boomers who started turning 50 in 1996 are doing so at a rate of 300,000 per month. The interest in retarding the aging process and remaining healthy will continue to drive the market demand for functional food products."

According to CNNmoney, February 10, 2000 (from the editors of CNN and MONEY Magazine)...

"The market for functional foods has been estimated at $20 billion annually in the U.S. alone, according to the reports. It is expected to grow at some 15 percent each year."

OUR LINK OF THE WEEK: Bodylastics

Bodylastics is recommended and used by personal trainers, the U.S. Military, Pro Athletes, and even S.W.A.T. teams. We have also been featured on QVC, HSN and in publications like Mens Fitness, Self Magazine, Prevention, Fitness, Exercise For Men, Delta Sky, Justine Magazine, Muscle and Fitness Hers and Flex.

Pain, after all, is invisible and subjective. That means your pain is unique to you. We have heard people liken back pain to everything from a hot poker going down one or both legs to a chronic aching sensation localized to the lumbar area. It doesn't matter what words you use, just try to explain the pain, what causes it (position, certain movements, or whatever), and what feels good or is what is comfortable for you.

Chronic pain being considered a disease

SYDNEY (UPI) -- Chronic pain, which more than one-quarter of U.S. adults report suffering, should be considered a disease in its own right, an Australian expert says. (CLICK YOUR PICKS FOR PRODUCTS THAT HAVE MADE A MAJOR IMPACT ON MY PERSONAL FIGHT AGAINST CHRONIC PAINS)

Dr. Michael J. Cousins of the Pain Management Research Institute at the University of Sydney says the concept that chronic pain is a disease in its own right is leading to new specific treatments aimed at physical, psychological and environmental components of this major disease.

"Chronic pain is different from acute pain," Cousins said in a statement. "If pain persists despite reasonable treatment from a primary care physician and other specialists, the advice of a pain medicine specialist should be sought. The earlier such help is obtained the greater the chance of returning to a reasonable range of life activities."

Cousins noted that too few pain medicine specialists are being trained and not enough pain patients have access to effective treatments.

"In the near future, diagnosis and treatment of persistent pain will be markedly different," Cousins said. "Drugs such as morphine that provide only symptomatic relief will be replaced by or supplemented with a new generation of therapies targeted at the disease process."

Cousins spoke at the 24th annual meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine in Orlando, Fla.

Alternative Pain Toleration Tips

NASHVILLE (UPI) -- Healthy, loving relationships do the heart good, but so do chocolate and wine, a U.S. cardiologist says. (ENJOY THE LINGERIE? WHY NOT ORDER SOME FOR YOURSELF AND THAT SPECIAL ONE IN YOUR LIFE? CLICK YOUR PICK AND PLACE YOUR ORDER)

Dr. Julie Damp of the Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute says most people who are married or who are in close, healthy relationships tend to be less likely to smoke, are more physically active and are more likely to have a well-developed social structure -- and as a result have lower levels of stress and anxiety.

"There is a theory -- unproven -- that people who are in loving relationships may experience neuro-hormonal changes that have positive effects on the body, including the cardiovascular system," Damp says in a statement.
However, giving a box of dark chocolates and a bottle of red wine to your loved one -- or yourself -- won't hurt either, Damp says. Studies show both are good for the heart.

Dark chocolate -- the darker the better -- contains flavonoids, antioxidants, which have positive effects on many different body systems including the cardiovascular system.

Flavonoids are also present in red wine and moderate alcohol consumption -- not more than one drink a day for women and one to two for men -- is associated with lower rates of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks.

Romance and Intimacy when you have a chronic illness, may be the last thing on your mind. Chronic illness can quickly redefine "hot" to mean the symptoms of a thyroid condition, night sweats, or a hot heating pad. Most people don't realize that nearly 1 in 2 people live with a chronic illness in the U.S.A. and when it comes to marriages, chronic illness does not have a good impact! More than 75% of these marriages end in divorce. It takes more than Valentine's Day romance a few days a year to keep a marriage alive and romantic.
