Relief and sleep

It's been a week since my last post and I can excitingly say my ribs have not gone out! I have had 1 night where I had discomfort this week. I know it was straining But it was more in the cartilage and ligament area. I let the chiropractic team know this and this week they have worked on this spot and it is getting better. I know before this my ribs would have been mush. I have greatly reduced the number of pain medication I am taking also. 

My feet pain had started to act up. after 2 treatments that has now settled down also. 

A couple days this week my sleep has changed. I have been sleeping 12 hours. Not waking up from pain. I think maybe my body is able to get more comfortable. I still take my pain medication at night. I usually know when that wears off. Because I wake up at the same time each night. These nights I didn't!

I have a new follow link that should be working better. Please Follow if you would like.

4 week intense treatment in AZ.

 Good morning from the sunny state of Arizona

My OA journey has taken me to a new places here in Arizona. I have started going to a wellness chiropractor clinic. It has been interesting to say the least. I was not sure for the week if it was doing any good. The 2nd week I started seeing improvements. I am going to AAAH Wellness Clinic in Mesa.  https://aaaahwellness.com. 

Now that Dr. Abrams has learned my body. What he sees is going on with my ribs. Dr. Abrams asked me what are my goals. I gave him 2 goals. 1 my ribs to stop popping out. 2. to lose 20 pounds. With that he put together a plan to help me start achieving that. 

First let me explain what he thinks is happening with my ribs and why they keep popping out of joint. If you have known me for a while you know the story of my ankles. How my ligaments have not held my ankles in place to kept them stable. This is basically what is happing with my ribs. My cartilage and ligaments are not holding my ribs in place. They are not supporting my ribs. My bones my be detreating. But we can do something now to work on my ligaments and cartilage to make it stronger and start doing it's job. Well that is the goal. That is what Dr. Abrams is working on. 

So to get my cartilage and ligaments is going to be intense treatment. I am going in 3 times a week for treatment. That is the adjustment. I may have stimulator also. Then 1 time a week acupuncture. That will be same day as treatment. Starting today I will be taking a supplement for metabolism and joint health. This supplement has some really good things in it to help with the health of building my cartilage and ligaments. Also will help with my metabolism for losing weight. Dr. Abrams would like me to change my protein drink up in the morning. I drink it hot as a hot tea or hot cocoa to a smoothly and drop 2 organic raw eggs in it. ewww. I was not in favor of this. I said I will try it 1 time. This is because of my protein needs. It will help with building my cartilage and ligaments. So many other benefits also. John is going to start this also. Then I am also adding 1 more element to all this. More on that later. That is for helping with my weight loss.                                 Currently I am in doing a external detox. I have 10 days left. I have been doing it for a month. It has really helped with sugar cravings for me. Just not there. I have taken some inches off. Right now not exactly sure how many. I need to get a tape measure. I know my tight pants are not so tight.

So I have big things I am working on in AZ for my body.
