As RA & Fibromyalgia patient , the sound of water splashing from the fountain and the chirping birds outside our balcony helps me ease my mind and body pain.Coffee and the sight of nature is my mood booster. I don’t really know what is it about coffee that gives me that boosting effect on my mood . If you feel happy that will divert your mind off from the pain . Comforting hugs and purring sounds from our cats is like a pain therapy device .
Changing Seasons effect on RA patients
Changing seasons can cause flare-ups
and depression in some patients.
If you don’t get enough sun exposure,
such as during the winter, your
serotonin levels will drop, putting you at
a higher risk of seasonal affective
disorder (SAD), a type of depression
caused by seasonal changes.
According to Healthline, exposure to sunlight
increases the release of a hormone
called serotonin in your brain,
which is a chemical associated with
mood
enhancement and helping you feel
calmer and more focused.
In contrast, when nighttime arrives,
darkness causes the brain to produce another hormone known as melatonin,
My life's passion is about my family, love for animals, travelling, cuisine, nature's beauty 'photography and health care. All of this inspired me to write and help me survive the bits and pieces of my daily life. I believe that every memory of every special moment should be kept not just in our consciousness but should be capture in pictures so that we can go back to that moment by looking at that image that will trigger those memories back.
