Feeling Bad All of the Time

No one wants to Feel Bad All of the Time. I have clients who come into my office looking as if they have not slept for a week, their eyes bloodshot, their faces displaying discomfort with every slight movement, and their voices barely audible. When I see someone like this, I am reminded that remediation of pain isn’t the only aspect of someone’s life I need to be concerned with. A patient’s well-being is contingent upon the idea that health is somewhere in the near future. If one loses hope, they have lost the main ingredient of faith.

Feeling Bad All of the Time

To feel bad even a part of each day is no fun. Some people can’t find enough medication to take care of their problems. Others solve one problem, then the pill or medication that solves the problem may cause another issue. This circle of medication is crazy, especially when the client sees multiple doctors and none of them are managing the whole person. This is when I feel I must intervene and discuss each issue and all of the effects of every medication. I’m not a physician, but I can help a client look at their medications. There is no law against this for me. And for you, there is nothing stopping you from intervening with a loved one when you see this happening.

Most people over-trust physicians or healthcare workers, mostly because family members have given over the hard job of managing meds over to physicians who see 100s of patients a week. Some physicians are on auto pilot when it comes to pain prescriptions and psychotropic drugs. I’m very disturbed by what I’ve been discovering:

1. Some clients have not been instructed on the side effects of drugs;
2. Some have not been told what not to eat or when to eat with a medication;
3. Some have not been told how the medication affects other organs or causes systemic problems—such as sleeplessness, a consistent cough, muscle pain, etc.

When you don’t understand your medications, you move to a place of being “out of control” of your own life. This is not a good thing, especially as a person gets older and is unable to understand the benefits and the harm of each of her medications.

My Experience with Feeling Bad All of the Time

When I was in my early thirties, I taught 2-3 yoga classes a day. I would then come home and see clients for the rest of the workday. One morning as I got out of bed I experienced a pain that consumed my entire body, radiating from my lower back and hips. Honestly, it caught me off guard. My entire life I had been doing everything correctly—watching what I eat, exercising, not taking medication, living holistically. At first, I thought I had pulled a muscle. However, the pain didn’t go away.

I did everything I could think of to alleviate the pain. I tried every modality that was nonmedical first: acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, pain management, hypnosis, herbs, dietary changes. Then, after exhausting all possibilities, I moved to traditional medicine. I discovered I had the severe arthritic condition that my father and mother had, which in my case began to cause me to be super sensitive to everything, including, and most importantly, smells.

I became acutely annoyed by odors, perfumes, mold, and cigarette smoke. I was consumed with smells that I couldn’t get away from. This sensitivity turned into migraines three to four times a week. Eventually, I would only have three good hours of life a day. After the three hours, the pain or a headache would keep me immobile, in bed, in a dark room, and covered with ice packs.

I tell you this because I understand pain. In fact, from that point in my life, even until today, has been an unfolding of what my life needs to be to effectively be able to live a normal life without pain.

I have spent the last twenty years finding just the right meds, exercises, food, meditation, and environment to keep me from hibernating by myself where there is no negative anything. Yes, that place exists, but it’s not where you think you would might find it.
