Well, I Am An Adult, So Nah!

By chronicpainhero

Okay folks.  I kinda thought that part of being an adult was being responsible for your actions and accepting consequences of those actions.  I may be wrong but wouldn’t that include apologizing when we do something wrong to somebody?  So, if we should apologize when we do something wrong to somebody, how many times should we apologize to make it right?  Is one time enough?  How about ten times?  Or does the number of times we need to apologize equal the number of people we offended?  Can I issue one mass apology and let that be it for everyone in the group or should I make sure that everyone I have wronged is apologized for properly?  Then again, what is a proper apology?

Say I did something bone-headed, stupid, ignorant, ass backwards, foot in my mouth, jackass of all times bad like, oh, I don’t know, yelled out that the president of the United States of America was a lie during an address to congress and the nation while I was a sitting congressman.  Would that require an apology?  And if so, who should I be held accountable to apologize to?  Do the people of the United States deserve an apology because I violated every protocol known to congress when I made my disparaging, idiotic, self-serving, piss ant of a person, remark?  Do I owe my colleagues, the ones who I made look bad by association when I did what had never been done before on the floor of congress to any president?  Do I owe an apology to the people who had the audacity to think that I was in my right mind, that I was intelligent and not some backwoods, boontucket, bumfuddled, brickwacker, bait for brains jerk and voted for me to be their congressman and represent them in Washington?

Of course I don’t.  I’m a congressman by golly and I know what they need, I know what they want.  If it wasn’t for me, they would all be lost.  NO, I am going to apologize one time and that’s that.  If that ain’t good enough for anybody then they can just go sit in the dark and get over it because I am not going to make more than one apology.  Heck, I don’t really want to make the one apology because I’m so full of myself and I know every dadgum thing there is to know so I don’t think I should be apologizing anyway and who does President Obama think he is anyway?  Hell, he ain’t nobody but the PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  Not like that position means anything anyway.  Hell, just any old body can be president.  I mean, only the majority of AMERICA voted for him to be president.  Everybody didn’t vote for him so it’s not like he’s GOD or something.  He’s just another guy like me.  We both put our pants on one leg at a time.  Yeah, so what he’s a world leader and I’m just some smuck who got elected to congress?  So what he has the respect of most of America and most of America don’t even know who the hell I am?

Just because he is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, that doesn’t make him in some elite club or nothing like the klan I belong too.  I mean, we are a special bunch.  You don’t get to be this stupid, ignorant, jack-assed, backwoods dense, waterheaded, shit for brains dumb overnight.  No, it takes generations of people passing down their ignorance and raising their youngins to be just as ignorant to get to be a big enough ass to actually yell out that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA is a lie during a national address to congress and the country on the floor of congress.  No, it takes a special kind of self pride and egotism to do something that stupid.  Not anybody can do something that disgraceful.  So, see, I am special.  I am about as bad an example of what being a congressman should be.

And you know what, after all that is said and done, I aint gonna apologize but one time.  I don’t care if they pass a whatchamacallit and demand that I apologize for my stupid outburst, if I was to do something that stupid, I would just look at them all right in the eye and say, ” WELL, I AM AN ADULT, SO NAH!”

Bad Economy Equals Health Problem; Seriously

Experts worry bad economy can lead to serious health problemsCan you imagine that?  On top of everything else going on, now the bad economic conditions can lead to serious health problems?  As if I didn’t have enough pain in my life already.  Do I really need anymore?  I guess it could be worse.  The bad economy could lead to stupidity.  Or it could lead to being extremely jumpy and having unrealistic expectations like say, oh, I don’t know, that people would learn to get along together regardless of race, color or ethnicity.  Might as well throw in world peace too while I’m at it. 

 

Oh, I’m only being sarcastic because I live in a country where people actually expect the president to be in office for eight months and have all of the problem of the country solved.  Now, didn’t people have a real hard time accepting Jesus Christ and all HE did was heal the sick and feed the masses with 2 fish and five loaves of bread…..and HE was able to walk on water.  (don’t forget, they hung HIM on a cross to show how grateful they were but that’s another story) So, if the president, Mr. Barack Obama, did indeed solve all of the country’s problems what would they try to do to him?  Maybe he is better off having to struggle to get done the simple promises he made during his campaign.  Of course, he was alturistic enough to believe that Congress would be on his side and actually HELP him make some of the changes he envisioned.  Historically speaking, there is a precedent for the masses in power NOT helping the one who could make a difference ….(SEE JESUS CHRIST AND THE SCHOLARS, PRIESTS, ETC.)

Not that I’m comparing President Obama to JESUS.  I am, however, comparing the plight of a good person who only wants to help the people reach a higher plane and the masses in power who don’t want to accept that persons vision, words, ideas, etc.  (SEE CONGRESS AND DISRESPECTING THE PRESIDENT FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS….NO LIE) So, as I ramble on about the stupid things that are occurring I guess I should make some kind of connection to how the economy is causing these outbreaks of stupidity.  I guess I COULD but, hey, it’s a blog and I’m only having some fun spreading my opinion. 

So,  talking about the economy and pain.  Yes, when things are tight, people feel more stress.  When the body is under more stress, we tend to notice more little aches and pains.  The incidence of migraines goes up.  Sore backs increase as people sit in awkward positions working overtime to make up for the people who were laid off.  Regular headaches from too many meetings.  Indigestion from eating too many donuts and too much junk food at meetings and to make up for missing lunch.  We put our bodies thru so many changes that feeling some kind of pain is almost inevitable.  The body doesn’t forget the things we do to it.

You ever notice the number of men in positions of power and money that have these enormous potbellies?  Or at least big enough that you might mistake them for being a couple of months pregnant.  That girth around the middle isn’t good for the back let alone the other medical problems it presents.  The worse the economy is, the more fewer people are called upon to do the work of many.  Layoffs send people home, frustrated, aggravated and looking for an outlet.  Finding a way to work of the anger that goes along with being “downsized” can often lead to overexertion.  Trying to hard to get in extra reps at the gym.  Rushing to finish the “honey do” list that has been building up for the last few years while you were at work too many hours believing you had a future there; until you were downsized.  Ouch, did you just slam your hand on the desk?  Now you have a sore hand.  What can you do to make that pain go away quick?

Yes, a bad economy can lead to serious health problems.  I know that I was being sarcastic in my blog but seriously, we need to be aware that stress and being under stress for extended periods can lead to major health problems.  Some people discount that they are even under stress.  Don’t be fooled.  Just because you still  have your job while those around you are downsized and you are still able to meet your monthly bills doesn’t mean you aren’t under stress too.  Do whatever you can to take care of yourself.  Get some down time away from the job.  Go do something you truly enjoy.  Avoid fighting with your spouse or being upset about inconsequential things your kids do.  Find the time to enjoy your life.  If you work hard then play hard.  Love your family.  Don’t get stressed about the little things.  There’s a fun saying: “don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things”.  That’s some pretty good advice in a bad economy.

Here’s to staying healthy.

Letter To Fibromyalgia

A Letter To Fibromyalgia Describing Multi-Modal Chronic Pain Treatment

Finding support groups and other people who can understand what you are experiencing and relate to the impact your pain has on your lifestyle and the interactions with family, spouses, friends, children and co-workers. I have been working on ways to share the ideas and methods I use to tolerate my chronic pains and the process that helps ease my chronic pain flareups. I haven’t found a way to be pain free but I have been fortunate enough to break through some of my flareups and start living a healthier, happier, less pain filled lifestyle daily. After gathering shared experiences and my own experiences, I discovered that the only way to really start to fight back against chronic pains is by using multi-modal processes. That’s just my fancy way of saying that we have to address many different areas and methods to effectively begin to tolerate our chronic pains better. Taking medicine alone doesn’t work. Talking to a psychiatrist alone doesn’t work. More surgery isn’t the answer. No, addressing our life for the valuable and wonderful gift it is can lead to our tolerating our pain better. I included a few links for you to review at our leisure. They can be found on one of my websites.

The jist of the matter is, and please note, I AM NOT A DOCTOR- I AM A PERSON WHO SUFFERS WITH CHRONIC PAINS AND WANTS TO GET MY LIFE BACK. That has been my driving force, my motivation. To return to being the father, husband, brother, son, friend and co-worker I once was. To do that, to re-capture our life we must address the following: Depression, ours and our significant others, our spouses, our childrens, friends and co-workers as we are all affected by the pain taking me/you away from them. Medicinal, using meds that can take the edge off but not render us comatose and un-alert, forgetful and totally dependent. Yes, we are addicted but not in a negative way as our bodies are actually using the meds to fight the pain but we will need to be walked through withdrawal to get off the meds. Physically, we need to use ice, heat, massage, exercise and rest. I use an ice recirculator that helps me control the cost on ice purchases/wear and tear on my ice maker. There is a recirculator that allows for cryotherapy and thermal therapy

http://www.healiohealth.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jooopnr0

 We need massages, using massage pads and pillows takes the place of people massaging us because massage therapy is expensive and you can’t always get a massuese at 3A.M. There are various massage products on the market that work well for all parts of the body. I have the ones I like on my site if you want to see what I use.

Then we need to begin a simple exercise routine to help our body regenerate and fight back against the ravaging pains. And of course getting rest when we can and not just the drug induced rest that comes in 2 or 3 hours spans. Then we need support forums, people we can talk to about our pains that won’t judge us and won’t look at us like we are making it up, like it’s all in our heads. We need to be confident that we can say what we are feeling and what is on our minds without alienating people because they don’t get it. We need support groups for our families and friends. Teach them how to be understanding and that our pains are real. Help them understand that our lives are affected too. When they miss us doing things with them, we miss us doing things with them too. They have to learn to understand that we didn’t choose to be in pain and we can’t just choose to not be in pain. That we have to work on all fronts to ease the pains enough so that we can have some form of a life. When we say no, I can’t make it today, we aren’t trying to avoid them or get out of doing something, we are saying no because we really can’t make it today.

Until we are in a position to treat our chronic pains from all fronts, we will not effectively be able to ease the pains or tolerate the flareups. It is necessary that all facets of the multi-modal pain treatment system are being utilized if we want to begin to get our life back from the grasp of chronic pains such as Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, RSD, Neuropathy, Arthritis, Migraines, Back Pains and others. I hope you are able to wean some helpful information from this. I wish you a strong and successful fight against your Fibromyalgia. Just know that you have another person who truly understands what you are going thru and the many obstacles that you have to navigate just to deal with your pain let alone tolerate it better or ease it all together. I will be looking forward to more of your video journals. Sharing your story is helping many people find the courage to continue the fight against their own chronic pain. Thank you for being willing to show the world a brave face as you endure your pain and suffering.

Using Social Media And SEO Programs

We spend a lot of our times and energy creating profiles on the various “Social Sites” because the search engines love the content on Social Sites.  But what about the people who aren’t using social sites as part of an SEO program?  The people who setup a profile just to network with their friends and co-workers in a purely “let’s stay intouch” kind of mode?  How do they feel about everybody who sets up business profiles to market their websites and programs and increase their exposure to the search engines?  I’m sure most users of social sites like FACEBOOK, LinkedIN, Squidoo, MySpace, Digg and others, don’t really have a clue as to what internet marketers are doing when they setup a profile on the sites.

 So what happens if and when an internet marketer metaphorically runs into a simple social site user?  Has anybody experienced that phenomenom?  Was your experience pleasant or unsettling?  Were you welcomed or attacked as an unwanted visitor?  Does having a social site for a business bode well for internet users?  Is the comparison of a business social site to a unwanted “TV commercial“ fair?  EVen still, is it accurate?  Could businesses on social sites such as FACEBOOK and MySpace actually be the equivalent of  tv commercials?  Or do businesses have as much right to create a social profile as any other person using the internet?  

 That  raises alot of questions.  I recently was attacked by a fellow group member on LinkedIN because I posted a thread in a discussion, mind you it was where I was instructed to post that type of thread, and the member accused me of “spamming“.  Go figure.  I followed the posted instructions for “posting your personal business or hobby” in a manner that avoided the main discussion threads but still allowed you to share your information with the group IF THEY SO CHOSE TO READ YOUR INFORMATION.  See, that’s the part in ALL of this that I don’t get.  People are FREE to CHOOSE whether or not they read your post no matter where you put it.  Really folks, if you don’t want to read the post, just delete it or ignore.  I can’t believe that people are just so frickin compelled to read every post that is made online.  Of course, that’s just MY take on things and like everything else, we all have opinions and as far as we are concerned ours is right and everybody else’s is just whatever.  

 Well, not actually whatever, I’m sure most of us have heard the accepted description of opinions; their like a**holes, everybody has one and they all stink.  Okay, okay, so, let’s see what was I talking about.  Oh, yeah.  Social sites.  A great way to get to get search engines to give you credit for content on your site and your site could gain viral growth legs.  As internet marketers we all know the value of exposure and definitely exposure that we don’t have to pay per click to get.  Every free advertising medium we can use is a friend to the online business person.  And therein lies the creation of a conflict waiting to happen.

 Free advertising is like manna from heaven.  Any business person would love free advertising, well let me restate that because some free advertising can be in a negative manner.  So, free advertising that’s positive and allows potential costumers to see what it is that we have to offer.  For the social mediate who is in it just to show their friends they have a MySpace or a FB account and say whoo whee, look at all of the pictures of  the events in my life.  Then there’s those who have their social page to let the world know that, “hey, I’m better than you, I’m more important than you because look at all my stuff”.  Oh my do I miss Georgle Carlin.  It took him to really tell us about “our stuff“.  We all have stuff and we think our stuff is better than everybody else’s stuff and if it’s not then we want to get some of their stuff so we can have the best stuff.  ( I bow in honor to the late George Carlin, MISS YOU MAN, RIP!!)

 So, we have people who are online on the social sites to let everybody see their stuff.  They aren’t selling anything, they’re just trying to validate their existence and let the world see their stuff.  Then we have the social butterflies.  We are going to stay in touch with anybody who wants to stay in touch with us.  We like this new technology and we are going to use it to reach out and connect with anybody who will connect with us.  The opposite side of that is the folks who go on a “social” site and then make their profile PRIVATE.  HELLLLURRRRR, IT’S A SOCIAL SITE.  Get the hell off of a social site and go to a private site and keep your profile private.  If you don’t want to be “social” why the hell are you on a SOCIAL SITE?  Maybe I got that all wrong but isn’t social different than private?  I’m not saying people don’t have a right to be private by why in the world would you join a social site to be private?  Their are PRIVATE ways to connect privately and to have your information remain private ON PRIVATE SITES you self important diggits.  Uh, oh.  Stepped on some toes there didn’t I?  Well, that’s MY OPINION and I have a right to have one and that’s mine.  If you want to use a social site to be private then so be it.  Just don’t look at me when I decide to use gasoline to put out the fire on your ass.  It’s my opinion that gasoline would work just fine to put out a fire on YOUR ass.  I don’t think it would work on mine but I think it might work on yours……well, if it’s okay to setup a private profile on a social site then why can’t I think it’s okay to put your fire out with gasoline.   Okay, I won’t really try to put out the fire with gasoline………no, really I won’t.

 So, I have gone around the block and back to get to what point?  What is the point I am trying to make?  What is it I want to know?  I want to know if anybody who is using a social site has setup a profile for the business side of their life or mentions the business side of their life has ever been attacked verbally by somebody who doesn’t think you have the right to promote your business on your social site?  Somebody who thinks it’s a sin, a terrible terrible wrong for you to use a profile on a social site to share your business venture and invite anybody who wants to view it to do so.  You can’t make anybody visit your site.  You can’t make anybody buy something from you.  Heaven forbid if you did have that kind of control over people, what would you do with it?  NO, don’t answer that question, I don’t want to be frightened.  Advertise as you might, people still have free choice over whether or not they respond to your advertising or if they even visit your website.  So what, you are in business?  So what, you are trying to make some money talking about things that you are familiar with.  Me, I have a website based around chronic pains.  I suffer with chronic pains so I have a vested interest in finding ways to ease chronic pains and products to help tolerate pain flareups.  I also post products for sale on my site, that can help people tolerate pains better. 

 So, I have a social site profile, well actually I have a profile on quite a few social sites and on some sites I have two, heaven forbid, profiles.  One profile is my personal profile and the other profile is my business profile.  I talk about my business on my personal profile sometimes and I talk about myself on my business profile sometimes too.  I find it hard to actually separate the two as I have a vested interest in my business and of course in my life.  That doesn’t make me an evil personbecause I have a business profile that sells things.  It doesn’t make me evil because I sell things that can help people in pain.  I’m not taking advantage of anybody’s suffering.  My sites are open access, free in other words, to anybody and everybody who want to visit them.  I offer to brainstorm with anybody who suffers pains so that we might discover something that could help one or both of us or maybe even others who are suffering in silence and don’t know where to turn.  Just because I use a social profile to do that, mind you on each site it is within standard practice and most sites posting guidelines, that I make these profiles and post the information that I do. 

 If we create a social profile on a social site and we are within the guidelines of that sites posting and usage policy then we are not at fault nor should we be viewed as evil or taking advantage of people.  Perhaps people on social sites need to become more aware of all of the nuances of social sites and not be so quick to assume that businesses aren’t allowed to have “free” profiles just because the site also sells advertising space.  Ignorance of all of the ins and outs of internet marketing would perhaps earn most people a “pass” on the first time they put their foot in their mouths and try to tell a person with a business profile on the social site that they shouldn’t be using free methods to advertise.  Shame on you for using a free method.  You’re in business.  Just raise your prices to cover the extra expense you pay in advertising.  Oh, there I go again being a smart ass.  Or as some would say, a charlatan. 

I am still rolling on the floor laughing my ass off over that one……but I will tell you about that later.

Until next time.

Those are a few of the companies/websites that are under the VinHol Global Enterprises LLC umbrella and here are some of my thoughts on marketing in the online world I work in today:

Marketing a brand in development has posed a lot of challenges for me. Creating the LLC with the vision of it being the “umbrella” and then securing products, information and services to fill in under the umbrella was fairly easy for me as I know what niche I am looking to fill a place in. The hard part comes when it is time to market my idea. I have found that even in the online world, doing offline marketing is necessary to produce the attention and visits to your online creations. I’m busy utilizing as many ways financially feasible, to market my companies. Financially feasible being the optimum word here. I think that I have hit the wall that many new companies on or offline run into; finances.

When there are limited finances, I think being able to dig further into the list of ways to market becomes a skill that has to be acquired and then mastered quickly. As with any mastery though, that takes time and in today’s online world, time isn’t always on the side of the developer. Filling a niche or rather capturing a niche before it becomes saturated requires being one of the first movers just as being a first mover on a new launch will give you the best Return On Investment. If you’re not in the first mover group when capturing a niche then you need a significantly different yet relevant product or products to introduce to that niche to even be noticed. The other obstacle with a niche that is established before you get there is the entrenched companies, the ones who broke ground in niche, so to speak. They have garnered the respect of potential customers and many have a loyal following which allows them to reduce some of their marketing expenditures but forces you to increase your spending to gain the attention of customers whose focus is on the longtime companies.

That doesn’t mean breaking into an established niche isn’t possible. I have found that putting a new spin on solid, reputable established ideas helps garner a measure of respect for the new company on the block. Then I work to capitilize on that momentary respect by offering information that customers can use. I offer enough information to start building brand respect and recognition but not so much that it doesn’t leave anything for me to market and sell. Using free information as a means to market products and services available has proven to get good results in online business ventures. I believe that many online customers have come to expect that you will have something they can use and get from you at not cost to them. The online customer is also a savy one and they know that there is no free lunch so for every free slice of information you give them, they will be expecting you to sooner or later, move your product, information or service that you have for sale, into their view. The key with free stuff marketing is being able to give them enough free stuff, to make enough deposits if you will, into their emotional bank accounts so that they come to trust, like and feel as though they know you. If you can achieve that, then you have a chance of gaining a new customer and a piece of an established niche.

Another discovery I have made is that being able to market yourself as a one stop for everything online portal doesn’t really go over that well and in fact can turn potential customers away. I hold firmly to the belief that because online shopping has become so easy and consumers are sharper than ever, the ability to use a search engine and find others who have the same products or similiar products as you, has created a need for customers to shop around before they settle on which company they will buy from. So even if you do sell everything, they are going to want to go to other sites and see what they are doing to market the product being searched for and to compare pricing. They may still buy an item or two from you but rarely does a one stop shop get the total shopping list of items from a customer. So trying to sell everything only creates more of a financial drain when marketing your company and products you sell. If you can find a selection of items that all fall within the niche you are marketing to, you will have a greater chance of success and be able to reduce your marketing costs.

Some of the ways I market my companies are from the traditional school. I use flyers posted in local business that might have consumers who would have an interest in my products, services and information. I also contact local groups and offer to do information days for free. Then you have flyers in your neighborhood as well as using your vehicle to market with nice signage on one of more of the vehicles windows. Of course, word of mouth and the business card handshake are still on the marketing tool table as far as offline methods of marketing go. Online, I use blogs, articles, directory submissions, link exchanges, webrings and most of the social media sites like MySpace, FaceBook, LinkedIN, Squidoo, Delicious, Digg, StumbleOn, High5, Zion. Then there are the sites that encourage you to build a downline and attack the internet for opportunities as a group instead of individually. Traffic exchanges are a dime a dozen and serve as a fair way to market your company. I say fair because Traffic Exchanges are basically another persons way of building their list. Everybody touts the power of having a list when it comes to making money on the internet. I have to say that parts of me beg to differ but I’m still relatively new, well, less than 4 years online, in this online industry so I am withholding all of my judgement for now.

As you can see, there are many ways to market and these are just some of the ones that I use. Anybody have any others? I am open to new methods and look forward to seeing them so that I can try them out to help grow my business.

Pain Can’t Stop This Graduation Plan

Chronic Pain Hero here and I’m having a pain flareup but I am using my own advice. That’s right. I am taking my own advice, proven overtime, to help me tolerate this flareup. Funny thing about advice. We always seem to be able to give others advice but we seldom take our own advice. Being a person suffering from chronic pain, I have learned, albeit the hard way, that my advice does work. My advice. Hmmm, that does sound pretty good when I say it but what feels even better is know that my advice does work and has helped not only me but several hundred other folks to tolerate their own pains better and faster daily. Being able to tolerate pain flareups is important all the time but especially so at this time. We are into the spring of the year and that typically means yardwork, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Proms and of course Graduations. Events we just don’t want to miss as each one is special in and of itself. Easing any pain flareups quickly becomes an even higher priority.

So, here we are feeling a little better because the warmer weather of Spring has moved in and we are anticipating the nice hot Summer. Days at the beach, time in the pool or perhaps a round or two of Golf. Whatever that plan, the last thing you want is your Fibromyalgia flaring up and making the bed your only option. No, that’s the last thing on your agenda. You just got that fierce new bathing suit or bikini and you plan to wear it at the party this weekend. Forget the pain that your Sciatic nerve is trying to pound on you. What can you do to get rid of that pain quickly? Well, honestly, I don’t know if you are going to GET RID of it but I do know you can get to a point of being able to tolerate so well that you will be able to enjoy whatever event you have planned to attend. There are exercises, products and methods available today that can have you tolerating that pain better in as fast as 24 hours in some cases. Hello Golf course, I am on my way!

Now after you have begun to tolerate the pain better and the flareup is easing up, you will be anxious to go to whatever event you have planned. Don’t get overexcited because I wouldn’t want you to do anything that might cause you to have a reoccurrence of your pain or even worse, create a whole new pain. You should already have a regimen that you follow daily, to keep yourself safe and sound. The way you put on your shoes, button your shirt, hang your clothes up, do laundry and so on. You know what you can tolerate and you have devised ways to do the things that you enjoy and or have to do in your life. You exercise daily. …um, why so quiet? You do exercise right? I don’t mean all out exercise like you’re going in the military or entering some body building contest but there are a variety of exercises you can do. If I recall correctly, I did tell you that exercise has been shown to help many people tolerate their chronic pains and to avoid new pains as well. If you’re new to my blog I apologize but I talked about exercise on my websites: http://www.vinicent-d-holland.4t.com/blank_13.html and http://www.chronicpainhero.4t.com/blank_4.html as well as in earlier blog entries on http://www.chronicpainhero.wordpress.com Be sure to take a look at those pages and see what might be able to help you start tolerating your pains better. Exercise is a crucial part of my daily regimen and helps me maintain muscle fitness and avoid atrophy, joint pain and stiffness as well as fatigue. Don’t panic though, once you see some of the exercises you will feel better about them and your self-confidence will improve as you achieve each exercise goal. The idea, when you are a sufferer of any chronic condition, is to set you self up for success. The more success you have over your pain the more you will do. The more you do the more you will enjoy and eventually you will be living a healthier, happier less pain filled lifestyle daily too.

While you’re feeling better both physically and mentally, remember those around you; the ones some people call support group but others call family. Just teasing a little but really, when you are in pain, having a supportive family can make a world of difference. If your family members understand that you are a victim of chronic pains and not a volunteer, their positive attitudes will provide you with a nurturing surrounding that increases the likelihood of you maintaining a bright outlook. Keeping a positive outlook is one of the biggest challenges for me since I have been suffering severe pains since 1995 and disabling chronic pains since 2000. The mental part isn’t talked about too much because people seem to want to stay away from issues surrounding the mind. Something about being crazy or thought to be crazy because you might be talking to a counsellor or a therapist about your pain and issues surrounding it. That doesn’t make you crazy. It doesn’t make you weak. As a matter of fact, I think it takes a lot of strength to admit that you might need to talk out your pain filled life with somebody, a neutral party, who has an understanding of the toll living as a severe or chronic pain sufferer can be on one’s life. Of course there are things you can do to help keep your peace of mind at home.

Checkout my sites for more Methods, Information and Products Proven to ease chronic pains because they work for me and hundreds of others everyday.

Sexual Wellness Impacts Chronic Pain Flareups

Sexual wellness has been shown to help temporarily ease chronic pain flareups and to distract the mind from the constant onslaught of chronic pains. Many people have long known the benefit of sexual intimacies when it comes to relieving stress, aggravation, headaches and more recently, chronic pains. The after effects of sexual intimacy can offer feelings of relief from pain flareups for up to several hours. People have reported different amounts of time that they felt less pain and everybody’s reaction is subjective.

 

As far as I’m concerned, anything that can help relief the feeling that chronic pain flareups causes my body, needs to be examined and tried at least once. Now, let me clarify that one. Anything LEGAL that is. I am not into illegal things and don’t condone anybody doing that. If you choose something illegal that’s strictly and unequivocally on your own free will and choice and has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with Chronic Pain Hero. But back to sex.

Speaking of back to sex. If you have back pains and back problems you will need to use proper precautions and should check with your doctor before beginning any new sexual activities or practices that could increase your back pains. Be smart about it. Don’t just rush into with your eyes closed. Besides, isn’t sexual intimacy more fun with your eyes open? Well, I think it is and that just adds to how much pain is relieved when you have more fun you have more time to escape the hold of pain and pain flareups.

So, maybe tonight you and your spouse or significant other can sit down and talk about ways that you could use sexual intimacy to relieve your pains. Show them my blog so they know you aren’t just trying to get some funtime more than they have planned for you. For some guys you know that your spouse has gotten kinda complacent with the sex time so this pain relieving angle might just be what you need to get her involved again. All those times she has said that she wishes she could do something to help your pain feel better. Okay, here you go dear. Make it better. Let’s get to the fun. But don’t be a boar guys and same goes for you gals. Add some spice. It’s not just wham bam thank you sir or maam. That might have some effect on the pain but it’s the long drawn out intimacy that has the greatest effect.

So, how much of an escape do you want from your pain? A little or as much as you can get? I thought so. That means you’re gonna have to engage each other and spend some time working the largest sex organ first, YOUR BRAINS. Get into each other again. Talk, reminisce, fantasize. Good old fashioned FOREPLAY goes a long way in making the pain relieving effects more potent. And don’t be afraid to add some toys and things.

Make your life a healthier, happier, less pain filled lifestyle daily and nightly too.

It’s May 1 2009 Time For Murder-Suicides To Stop

I’m doing my part to help BLOG OUT murder-suicides. I want people to know that there are other choices even when stuff looks and seems so dam bad that you see no other way out, there is a way. What? I’m sure people in distress enough to be considering murder-suicide as an option are beyond rational and think that any other choice is crazy and futile. That’s just the despair controlling their minds. It becomes like a mental illness and overwhelms them. They can’t see any other way, can’t even imagine how life was before it became bleak and therefore can’t imagine life ever being decent and meaningful for them again. I can understand despair. As a chronic pain sufferer you get tired of waking up everyday in pain. It seems as though there is no end to your pain. I’m sure many chronic pain sufferers can relate when I say, it makes you wonder what is the use? The use is your family, friends, associates, co-workers and folks you haven’t met yet whose lives you will touch and enhance. The use is that you have yet to accomplish what you can. The use is that your choosing murder-suicide is unfair to those you kill and those who will be left behind to try to piece together what you were going thru and mostly, WHY YOU DIDN’T COME AND ASK SOMEBODY FOR HELP AND UNDERSTANDING.

People say, “things are never as bad as they seem”. I can say for a fact that most of the people committing murder-suicides are living in a time and land where they have more opportunities as well as more comforts than most of the folks on this planet. We get so caught up in a lifestyle that we can’t seem to get a handle on. What’ succesful? What’s good? What’s enjoyable? How do you know when you made it? How can I live without a new car? How can I make it without a big house? How can I make it without new clothes? I can’t live without………… We get so caught up in what we can’t, what we gotta have, what we gotta do that we forget to live life and enjoy the basic necessities. We overrate and over value keeping up with all of the things that are advertised as “the good life” and begin to measure our lives by that made up standard.

The pressure to choose the easy way out when we think we haven’t and can’t live the good life is tremendous if you allow it to be and too many people allow it. The stress levels drive people to do things that seem other wise incredulous. Stop believing that your life is worth taking if you don’t have or can’t achieve the “advertised good life”. You are worth way more than that. Murder-Suicide isn’t a choice you need to make. It shouldn’t even be a choice. Murder-Suicide needs to go the way of the square stone wheel. It’s time we, as a people, as human beings, stood up and said to those who might even be thinking about murder-suicide right this minute: STOP, THERE IS A BETTER CHOICE and YOU ARE WORTH IT!! Let’s get thru this one day at a time. Slow down. Ask for help. Allow somebody to talk to you and allow them to help you. Your family deserves that chance. Your spouse deserves that chance. You deserve that chance. The moment of darkness doesn’t last forever if you allow people who care to shed light on you.

Let’s put and end to murder-suicides. They affect all of us. The ripple effect is causing a tidal wave of massive proportions we can only yet begin to imagine. The POWER OF ONE can change a country. Let’s become a POWER OF ONE and stop, no eliminate murder-suicides as being a choice anybody could ever make.

Blogging Out The Pain

Response To Making May 1 2009 Count For Something More

So far the response to Making May 1 2009 Count for something more, has been phenomenal. I can’t believe that so many people really want to take part. I kinda thought I might be out there blogging on my own even though the issue is one that could affect any one of us at any given time. I am so looking forward to hearing what everyone has to say on May 1, 2009.

I’m working on being ready for May 1 2009. I don’t know if my pains will flareup or how I will be feeling on that particular day but just knowing that more light will be shed on the problem of murder-suicides even being a choice to solve an issue, is good to know. We have got to get people to realize there are other choices even when none seem readily available at that precise moment.

I do believe that thru our collective beings, we can will a change in the overall emotional strength of the world we live in. We can impact people to be more thoughtful of others lives. We can change the course of countries and of people who seem destined to commit a heinous act such as murder-suicide. Let’s get our blogs ready and show the world how powerful the power of ONE can be.

Thanks for the early feedback and I am looking forward to May 1 2009.
