I have not been here in a while and missed the group. I have amazing chronic nerve pain in my skull and brain. I have been on a mission to try to do some positive action. I started eating very well on a paleo diet and running. The diet and exercise seems to keep me motivated between medication. I take 28 subscribed pills per day and still struggle so I needed to do something. It has helped a lot. I even created my own RamblingChronicPK podcast on iTunes to discussion my journey and issues. I am trying to work up to a 1/2 marathon in October. What types of positive actions do you take or help you other than just the medicine? I am determined to find a way to not feel like crap every day. How do you deal with mental part of chronic pain? My podcast is my inspiration to keep moving but I am always looking for other ideas.

My grandson is my main motivation. To see him I will get out of pjs and off the couch at a moments notice even if it's slow moving. Hopefully, if all goes well, next week I will be getting a rescue dog and I will get out and walk more than I do right now.

I am like little b my grandchildren inspire me. i am in pain today after an overnight visit. When my 7 year old granddaughter looks at me and says "I love you Nana and I am glad I am speeding the night with you" It is worth all the arms and legs in my face all night. I am just glad I can do this and other things with my grandchildren.
The support from this group gives me ideas and also is a comfort.
The hugs are wonderful when you are down and out.

Good for you that you have found some positive ideas and ways to be active. Setting goals and working towards new ones is very good.

Stick around and share your progress and get to know everyone.

I try to do similar things, Ive applied to do the London marathon in april which is given me something to aim for and hopefully Ill raise a lot of money for chronic pain research by doing it (if I can of course!)

Keep positive and Im sure youll inspire many others, keep in touch xx
