Ok #ChronicPainSky I give in, I'm willing to try topicals for pain relief. What's the best pain relief cream/balm/roller that's also sensitive skin friendly?

Context: I have both muscle and nerve pain but the muscle stiffness pain is still the biggest concern

Having a “feeling sorry for myself” chronic illness day.
I don’t give into it often,but today I think I need to just sit with it and practice self care.
What do my fellow warriors do for self care on days like these?

Then: time, technology, weather & politics step in and STOP the convo 💔

So frustrating for those suffering from any/all the above.

Thx.
