My migraine, neck, and back issues have been flaring up on and off ever since my bad MRI experience almost two weeks ago. I feel like I’m not getting anything done and am struggling to get the bare minimum of my daily routine done. All this has me feeling depressed and has killed my enthusiasm for the new book I started writing.
The logical side of me knows the pain will eventually subside, but while I am stuck in this misery it feels infinite and everlasting. Chronic pain wears you down, destroys creativity, and can stomp all over your goals – at least anything short term. I hope I’ll be back to normal someday soon.

I have tried some of that stuff. I think it can help, but doesn’t stop the flareups themselves. Of course, I just tried to do it myself or had my husband do it, never had a professional.

Oh Maranda, I’m so sorry you’re doing it so tough. When things get extra bad, it’s like it’ll never end and it sucks the life out of us. I do hope things ease up a little soon so you can get back to your ‘baseline’ and find that desire to write again. In the mean time, give yourself some breathing room, rest up, and know we’re thinking of you.. ♥ ♥ ♥

Thanks for stopping by, hope you get better soon. Have you tried CBD? Just curious. Of course, I’ve heard the real thing is much better for pain. Do you live where it’s legal?

No, marijuana isn’t legal here yet 😦 They passed medical marijuana, but it is expensive and not covered by insurance.
