    About this ebook

    It is well-known that arthritis sufferers can have a poor quality of life because of all the pain they endure and how hard their life is at the onset of arthritis. Actually, poor quality of life is usually comprised of experiencing disability, an inability to do things that you used to, and being unable to sleep well or exercise regularly. This is especially the case if we start to habitually experience pain as if it is an intimate part of us. By reframing our pain, we can experience a better quality of life.

    I have discovered that arthritis sufferers can experience a good quality of life by reframing their life with arthritis. Naturally, we have to admit that on some level our life will never be the same because we are living with a debilitating illness. That kind of comes with the territory, doesn’t it? However, our life doesn’t have to be defined by our pain and fatigue. We could learn how to live a good quality of life, despite arthritis. And I will show you how to achieve this in what follows.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      It is well-known that arthritis sufferers can have a poor quality of life because of all the pain they endure and how hard their life is at the onset of arthritis. Actually, poor quality of life is usually comprised of experiencing disability, an inability to do things that you used to, and being unable to sleep well or exercise regularly. This is especially the case if we start to habitually experience pain as if it is an intimate part of us. By reframing our pain, we can experience a better quality of life.

      I have discovered that arthritis sufferers can experience a good quality of life by reframing their life with arthritis.

      Naturally, we have to admit that on some level our life will never be the same because we are living with a debilitating illness. That kind of comes with the territory, doesn’t it? However, our life doesn’t have to be defined by our pain and fatigue. We could learn how to live a good quality of life, despite arthritis. And I will show you how to achieve this in what follows.

      I also ask that you be open minded enough to try all of the steps I outline in this e-book.

      I believe that any chronic condition must be dealt with proactively on three levels: the psychological, physical, and social/spiritual. This is because arthritis affects all of these areas and can hamper you and your quality of life.

      However, I believe that the psychological realm of self-management is the most important to master at first. We have to mentally reframe our lives so that we can also live a better quality of physical and social life. I believe that in chronic illness we have to effectively deal with our thoughts and emotions about the disease and our disability before we can deal with the physical and social realms of self-management.

      One overwhelming reason why this may be the case is because how we live with our physical disabilities caused by the chronic condition is dependent on the state of our thoughts and emotions. For instance, if we negatively overthink our pain, fatigue, and disability, we will experience a lower
