Little backstory

Ever since I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when I was born, pain was always spoken about but it didn’t really affect me that much in my early years. As years went by I would have a niggle here and there but would carry on regardless…..

As I’ve become older in my 40s and now early 50s it’s become apparent that certain areas have become more painful. It’s often spoken about with people with CP but I guess you often dismiss it to a certain extent.

Being diagnosed with CP has been a blessing in some ways as a lot of how I was feeling was due to this. Hip pain and back pain always been a part of my life and now ankle pain. It affects my joints pretty badly but you do what you can to become comfortable. Even if it means you reach for the medication to help relieve the pain, so be it! I don’t solely take them religiously only went that pain is too great.

Pain is a great healer in so many ways and can ground you too. Acceptance is a great leveller in life 🙏 much love all 💖

A lovely positive attitude. But.....and there's always a but!!!.

Many pain neds need continuity and to only use when feeling bad may be mor harmful. Many you start on a low dose and build up to required level to keep pain under control. To stop suddenly cos feel better can cause adverse effects.

You think...aha pain better and stop. But...pain only better cos you are taking medds
