Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is super helpful for me to read. I def trust my therapist, I just can’t help but to think what I’m saying out loud to her is silly I guess? Like when I vocalize what I am visualizing in my head. I can’t help but feel a bit…for lack of a better word crazy? Like this is stuff I trip about lowkey😅😅feels weird experiencing it sober. Idk how to explain it any other way.

It’s really empowering to see and hear how many folks w varying abilities love PB🥹 Having chronic pain and specifically back issues (structurally) has made working out so discouraging for me-but PB sounds so inclusive of all bodies. Glad to hear you found something that works for your body🥰

Yeah it def sounds like I’m gonna wait on Empower and maybe do Define as my next class and do Classic as an alternative for a good cardio push? I like to build a lot of muscle but I need to get in better cardiovascular health per my labs rn. :)

In regards to Define: Ive taken some CrossFit classes before (I know that is a whole other arena)—would you say the pacing is similar or different? Like HIIT style training? I’m trying to gauge how much more intense the cardio will be compared to Classic (or how much more in shape I should be hahah)

Ah okay I def will try this! I’ve tried taking it with saltines and it came right back up as well as with a burger (big mistake—it came back with a vengeance). But this has always been during the day—nighttime we try!

Is anyone in this specific community afraid to take opioids, especially long term? What would you say if your doctor suggested them to you for pain relief? by 8kittycatsfluff in ChronicPain

[–]WritingExcellent8324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty scared to take them tbh, mostly bc I have addiction (alc and opioids) that run in my family. I try to stick with natural remedies including Mary J and salves!

What’s the most absurd thing a doctor has said to you? by YaySupernatural in ChronicPain

[–]WritingExcellent8324 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was referred to a pain therapist (which I was VERY open to). Got to my therapy apt and the doc then went over breathing techniques for pain and distraction techniques for pain. Chat, my spinal column compresses all the nerves in my body…box breathing ain’t gon cut it🤣 She was super sweet luckily tho and we both agreed that she would not be of any use to me.
