Don't passively rely on your doctor to manage your health care.

Instead, you should do your own research and find what works for you.

This is the message from todays guest, Amy Orr.

“There's just such a breadth of tools and therapies and other people's stories and other people's clever solutions to things that, you just have to read a lot and do a lot of research” -Amy Orr

Amy is what you might call a chronic pain survivor, suffering from back problems since early childhood, fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.

She has distilled everything she's learned over the years, about, amongst other things:

Getting the best out of different health care systems

Your own mental game

How to handle other people, their expectations and attitude towards you and your pain

And the result is her new book Taming Chronic Pain: A Management Guide for a More Enjoyable Life which is available now on Amazon where it has 5 star review status!

Quote of the day, which great dramatist wrote the line

“Our bodies are our garden to which our wills are gardeners.”
