    About this ebook

    One of the biggest complaints for chronically-ill people is that they are in a lot of pain. They seem to struggle continuously with a lot of unmanaged pain. This can really set them up to a life of difficulty and hardship.

    One of the best things you can do for yourself as a chronically-ill individual is to find a way to manage pain. This need not be hard. And it must be something that is doable so that you can incorporate it into your daily life.

    The good news is that pain management can be achieved by taking a few simple steps daily. Not only will you improve your quality of life as a result but you will also sleep better, thus improving your pain levels for the next day.

    This is because pain is a cycle. When you become part of this vicious cycle, things continue to get worse and worse for you.

    The pain cycle is as follows. Your disease pain will cause tense muscles which will cause stress. Stress will cause fear, anger and frustration which can lead to depression and fatigue.

    So, to break the pain cycle, you must focus on not becoming part of this cycle in the first place. But that is hard to do because the first step in the process is that you have disease pain. And every chronically-ill person will have disease pain if not on and off pretty consistently.

    In this e-book, I will focus on ten things that you can easily do to break the pain cycle before it becomes chronic and leads to all of these negative emotions and depression.
