what do you use to help with your health struggles?

Diet, I avoid foods I now will trigger or make matters worse.

Exercise. I Know it hurts but sitting still means rusting like an old car so to keep moving is the best way to keep the machine/body running smoothly.
Diet again. Making sure I get enough of all the vitamins and minerals.

Sometimes pain relief gel..

A massage cushion. To pummel the bits I cant reach.

Meditation, a calm mind will help to soothe the body. Stress and tenseness only serve to worsen any health issues you have.

I agree with both replies. I like to move things so, for instance, although we do have a grabber I prefer to bend (carefully) to pick small items up and think before moving heavy items. Take things slowly. Perhaps one of the most common scenarios is thinking and moving instantly to do something and straining an inert muscle. I like to make exercise part of normal living rather than a seperate entity. It's worthwhile having a magnifying glass and tweezers to locate and remove splinters, and I also have a small mirror on a telescopic rod to see things in obscure places. I have an even smaller one too which enables me to see the inside of my mouth / teeth.

I do make notes and place them where they are needed.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have little more problem than sighted people a lot of the time. I have sometimes noticed it easier to handle the problem by touch / feel as often a splinter can be readliy felt through the tweezers. I often find as well that a sore spot on a finger is an indication of an un-noticed splinter which is almost invisible to the eye causing irritation. Some of my cacti spines are almost invisible.

I avoid wheat, brown bread and wheat products like the plague. I won't touch museli, all bran, ANY brown bread, brown rice and other roughage. These foods make me very sick. I also avoid nuts: like flapjacks and nut bars. I cannot stomach salad, either: again, that makes my body sick. Raw foods I cannot physically tolerate.

I see the doctor every 3 months for a face-to-face medical review and general checkup. She prescribes me various medications, which I take daily.

My health - and healthcare - is very important to me.

With me it is diet and exercise. I have a stationary bike fir the days when the weather doesn't cooperate but I like taking long walks as much as possible.
