It has stopped me from enjoying the simplest things in life like going to a school function or being able to walk out the front door when a family out was scheduled. I’m always looking for a way to help deal with everything.  I’ve checked out a several drinks with a lot of vitamins and nutrients. Drinking cactus juice is an option for me since it helps with cleansing toxins from the body.  Nopalea is a cactus juice that’s been around for twelve years by people for helping with illness issues. 12 million bottles have been sold to help with the pain from inflammation from daily aches and pains. The goal of the company has been to help people feel healthier. Until reading more about the cactus juice I wouldn’t have considered drinking juice from the cactus.

My sweet dog Mason went to heaven on 5-6-12 after fighting for his life for over a month. He got sick right after I applied the poison ADVANTIX  onto him for flea treatment. I’m broken hearted that I lost my dog of nearly ten years to such a senseless thing. I was trying to protect him from the fleas that we fought with last summer. RIP Sweet Baby Boy. Mama loves you!

Until Next Time,

Have you had physical therapy and was it helpful? How long were your sessions?

You can turn your sell used cell phones into cash by selling them online. The company buys the cell phone then sends you a check in the mail. A lot of the companies will send you a box to ship the phone back to them. Once they receive the phone they’ll check it out and send you a check for the money.  Depending on the model, make and condition of the phone they’ll send you a check through the mail. Some companies even take broken phones, depending on the model. It’s an easy way to make a few bucks or eliminate a bill on top of the list.

If today isn’t good focus on tomorrow being the best day of your life.

It’s better to focus on the good things in life than the bad things since bad things only bring you  down.

We all have bad days, but the good days should be your focus.

Chronic Illness isn’t easy, but a positive attitude can go a long way.

Look at the small things that brighten your life, even if it’s the blue sky.

I’ve learned this from planning to go somewhere then having to cancel my plans. Just last night I had to cancel a dinner date with my family, instead I had to stay home and nurse my aches and pains. It really gets old quickly especially when you have to deal with a disappointed teen. It seems like I’m disappointing her more than helping her because of an illness that never quits.

The biggest problem with chronic pain is nothing works all the time. It takes a lot of patience to figure out what will work with pain. One thing may help with daily pain while another thing may not help at all. Nopalea juice is something you might want to try to relieve the inflammation from living with joint pain. It’s a super fruit called Nopalea cactus. It’s been used by the natives for centuries to help with inflammation of the joints and pain.   Right now you can get a bottle for the price of shipping.
