This course might be freely available, but it won’t help if you don’t try the things. The worksheets provided alone are usually sold for $10 each. And I couldn’t even begin to estimate how much time it took me to research, try the things, write the content, create the videos and put this all together. So take notes and get ideas!
Remember that I am sharing my research and my experience. This information is shared so that you have a starting point for your own research. Please discuss all treatment options with your medical team and look them up yourself.

Now that you’ve learnt about some options, and written up your pain management plan, it would be a good idea to ensure you have an optimal medication plan. Ask your pharmacist, pain specialist or doctor for how to take the medicine you’ve been prescribed optimally. Also, run your Pain Management Plan by them.
I’ve been prescribed many pain medicines over the years, but never given a good plan for how to take them well. For example, my local pharmacist just helped me to make a plan for laying medication efficiently to help with my trigger point flare ups. Some medicines do work better by taking them regularly rather than as needed.

Who am I? Why did I make this course?
I’m Melissa and I’ve had chronic pain, chronic fatigue and insomnia since my late teens. I’ve been sharing my journey on this blog since 2013 because I want you to have the knowledge sooner than I got it. I’m a yoga and meditation teacher, author of three books including Fibromyalgia Won’t Win and a mama of four. Through my own research and trial and error, I’ve gone from moderate to mild on the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Rating Scale (FIQR) by using everything I share on this blog.
