Chronic Pain Management

Managing chronic illness is no laughing matter. It often hurts more than just physically, and that fact can have far-reaching consequences. Feelings of frustration with ongoing pain and fatigue can be difficult for those who are "not in your boat" to understand. Through fifty years of trial and error, I have discovered a combination of 7 simple habits that truly help me, and those closest to me, cope and find some balance as I manage daily, with illnesses such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more recently, fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is an often misunderstood disease affecting women more than men and adults more than children. This guide tells my personal story and how I am coping with this illness. I give details of the things that help me in the hope that they may help you as well. I have used simple language to describe the illness and its effects rather than using the often confusing and scary medical jargon with which we are sometimes bombarded in our daily battle with this disease.

Research over the last few decades shows that many of us – sufferers of chronic pain and health practitioners alike – are victims of a trick of the nervous system. Where we believe that pain has its root in a damaged body, it is the brain that prolongs the hurting after the body has healed. Paul Biegler, a science journalist and former doctor who has been on his own pain journey, investigates the true source of chronic pain – our brain’s so-called neuroplasticity – and emerging therapies that take advantage of that neuroplasticity to rewire the brain and end the suffering.
