A Little Bit Of Soothing Wednesday: A Few Of My Favorite Things

October 5, 2011 By Jenny Ryan Leave a Comment

Today, in this week’s installment of my series dedicated to sharing some things I’ve found that help me to feel a little more comfortable when I’m having a Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad, No Good Day, I want to tell you about a few new purchases I’ve made over the past few months.

1. Tangle Teaser

This is the only brush in my entire (as of Saturday) 39 years that has ever gotten out all of the tangles without hurting. It’s like magic. And of course I am all for anything that is pain-free.

2. Thera Cane

I haven’t been able to get massages for a while  because they started making me feel worse (Dear Fibro: SUCK IT),  so the Thera Cane has been a godsend. I use it with the Aardvark Essentials Ease, Please Lotion, and I’m able to get a good bit of relief from all my knotted-up muscles.

3. Chronic Pain Tracker App

I finally realized that I’ve had no idea whatsoever how to speak “doctor”. I communicate in long, meandering stories which I think express the necessary information clearly and completely. But I have finally come to understand that my doctor actually needs things like facts, and data. And this app is fantastic in helping me track the information he needs. It will also compile your information into various charts and reports which you can either print out and take with you to your appointment, or email to your doctor.
