Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness, excessive pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and can be quite challenging to deal with. 😔 This condition occurs when the connective tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become thickened and tight, leading to inflammation and a loss of flexibility. Activities like reaching, lifting, and even simple daily tasks such as washing your hair, driving, and working out can become difficult and painful. But fear not! Understanding a frozen shoulder is the first step toward finding relief. While the exact cause is not always clear, factors such as previous shoulder injuries, prolonged immobility, and certain medical conditions may contribute to its development. The good news is that a frozen shoulder is usually temporary, although it can last for months or even years, Mine was 17 months long. With the right approach and treatment, you can regain mobility and alleviate discomfort. Seeking medical advice from a healthcare professional is essential for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. They may recommend a combination of physical therapy, pain management techniques, and exercises to improve flexibility and strength. Remember, patience and consistency are key. Stay positive and committed to your recovery journey. With proper care and support, you can overcome a frozen shoulder and restore full functionality to your shoulder joint. Browse through my board to discover helpful tips, exercises, and products that can assist you on your path to healing and regaining your shoulder's freedom of movement.

I first noticed Wellys in the first aid aisle at Target and was immediately attracted to their brightly colored and sometimes artful tin case designs. I never though much of them until I decided to grab a pack. It was a variety pack with bandages ready to cover small, medium and large wounds. What the hell, I thought. I didn't open the package right away, in fact I didn't open them till the first time I needed one. I was surprised to see a tough, sturdy fabric bandage. It felt as tough as some garments even! The adhesive was extremely strong, yet didn't have harsh chemicals and industrial glues, which are a no-no if you have sensitive skin. Despite what other brands offered, you know, first bit of moisture or tug in the wrong direction and it's off, these were almost a struggle to get off. But in a good way. The tough little bandages had it all. I was sold and I'm now a customer for life and I just wanted to share these with you. Maybe you haven't had the chance to give them a try, I promise you won't look back.

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.

PLEASE READ: Everything in this list is not to be taken as medical advice. I am simply showing what things have helped me with my LC symptoms. If you come across something that you think might help, please speak with a licensed medical professional about it. That being said, I'll share a little bit of my history. My post-COVID issues started in January 2021. Today (as of June 2024), I'm about 90% recovered. The symptoms that I still have are mild fatigue and slight sensitivity to touching certain things. I had a lot of other symptoms (chest pain, SOB, air hunger, heart palpitations, etc.) in the past that eventually resolved on their own, so in this list, I will share some things that I did to help with certain issues. I've had little success with traditional western medicine and had a good amount of relief with integrative/functional/eastern medicine. You may notice that some of the things in this list seem rather “woo woo” or full of quackery, but I implore you to keep an open mind. I was once in that resistant mindset until I gave these things a try.
After so many years of searching for TRUE health and fitness guidance, I've found the holy grail is exercise and protein intake. Simple as that. You must keep moving and fuel your body properly.
