You could be forgiven for expecting it will be 'chronically painful' for
you to read and consider what follows. But my hope is that it isn't too
unbearable to read about the different aspects of chronic pain affecting
millions of us.

4 Seasons-really?

Yes, really. At least that's how long it takes me to honestly decide how I am handling my chronic conditions. I wish I could report to myself a nice flow of consistently good news following my little reviews. I wish. I think I can better tolerate stuff in Autumn and Winter than I do in Spring and Summer. Especially this latest Spring and Summer. Heat and humidity and me, well, we don't get on very well. These natural forces regularly make me doubt if I really do have the control over my thoughts and emotions as I'd like to believe. It is relentless physical & mental hard work. And no fun at all. When our weather is very hot and muggy, it's easy to believe things are worse than they usually are. I don't have a shred of evidence to back up my theory but I'll stick my neck out on this one. I have to dig to the bottom of my resources backpack to find enough patience and resilience to get through the 2 halves of every day. I shake my head at the many times in a week I have to remind myself that coping with a chronic condition is a marathon not a sprint. So, 4 seasons for an honest review? Afraid so if I really want to know how I'm doing.
