It's neigh midnight and I'm feeling alert unlike I have in a while. I finished a book on my kobo glo and then opened another one I had borrowed from the library out of curiousity only to find myself drawn in and intrigued. The book is "Pain Relief without Drugs" by Jan Sadler. It is an easy read with applicable exercises that I did along the way. I feel good from them, physically and mentally. The book is totally applicable to my newest strategies: reducing the Lyrica and the more recent experiment that I am now a week into. Basically, eliminating/reducing medicinal means. Since halving the Lyrica, I'm feeling less bloated and the "tire around my midsection" feeling is way less. I don't find a difference in my levels of pain. The other experiment is eliminating weed as a pain killer. But now I need new strategies. As I'm laying here with upper back pain, I know it's from not doing my morning exercises over the weekend (3 days). That's all it takes to end up in a fair deal of pain. The exercise is a natural way of feeling better but requires time, effort and conscious thought to execute. It takes getting into serious routine and talking myself out of my slumps. I know I need to do it. Already from the book I plan on integrating some of the simple exercises into my morning exercises. Every little thing helps :)
