Great video ladies,I've been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis many years ago,since then I've been told I suffer with Chronic pain syndrome also. I also suffer with depression and anxiety. What I really wanted to say is,I saw a new Physiotherapist just yesterday. I had so many things regarding pain,I wanted to tell her about. I never got the chance to,she was massaging my neck,because my posture is quite bad,and that's all she spoke about none stop. I didn't get the chance really,and when I was going to interrupt her to tell her,I'd forgotten most of the things I really wanted too go over with her,I get brain fog & that's exactly what happened,I'd completely forgotten the points regarding Chronic pain,I wanted to mention. So when I got home & everything I wanted to go over,was there clear in my mind,anyways I broke down at home and cried,because of this. Know I can't get out of my mind,that's she is just going to think,well I thought he had Chronic pain,he didn't mention it,and I'm knot going to be believed. Would you have any advice,of how to go about things like,getting it across too,I believe I will be seeing her again. Because it was private medical care,it was our NHS Which there is wonderful Doctors and Nurses etc work there,if you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Thank-you also a lot of symptoms I suffer also,sound very much like Spondylitis. Thank-you ❤
TL;DR: These family of diseases are usually treatable but currently not curable. Managing stress helps psychologically. I should stress that in this case exercising helps because of the mechanisms of the illness, not because it's healthy in general. It worsens with less movement, not sure why.
