Does it even work?
I already mentioned that for me personally it brought a total turnaround in how I viewed flare ups. Of course, I was too excited to keep it all to myself.
First, I spent 20 minutes sharing some of what I've learned with my son - he's been dealing with a neuroma and foot pain the last several months.
We were able to come up with some solid pain management strategies and a game plan to follow.
Immediate result - less fear.
Less fear leads to less tension.
Tony's last outing was great, he said. He was surprised how little discomfort he felt afterwards. Hooray for little miracles!
So then I talked to mom. This was a little more difficult because I had to translate all this new material into Russian. I didn't do such a good job but it worked anyway!
Mom is still recovering from COVID (she had it way back in September!) and COVID - related lung damage. We tweaked her recovery program with better pacing to reduce fatigue and flare - upping, and improve breathing at the same time.
I just hope she follows it now....
Will it work for you?
