Treatment
These posts discuss various treatment options. Some options I have tried, others that have been suggested through various medical studies.
Are you making your healthcare appointments work for you?
Are you making your healthcare appointments work for you? Doctor appointments often seem like a waste of time to me, especially those regular 3 and 6 month follow-ups with the specialists. Why is it that whenever those appointments come up everything seems to be going well, then 3 weeks later things … [Read more...]
How Oska Helps Me Accomplish More
A couple of weeks ago I did something I didn't think I'd ever do again (I've had a lot of those moments in the last 6-8 months). What is it? You ask. I painted my bedroom, by myself.

TechCare TENS for chronic pain
I've shared a few times here about how TENS has helped me through many chronic pain issues. I was first introduced to TENS through physical therapy for tennis elbow back in 2007. I can't recall if that was when I received my first home unit as well. Back then they were expensive and I was lucky that … [Read more...]
