I’m Sober. It’s October.
I’m in king mode. I’m looking to figure out different methods to deal with pain and inflammation. I took this picture on the last day of September. I’ve beed dealing with shoulder tendinitis, and I’m trying to figure out how to get back to the place where I can do chin ups (or pull-ups… I’m not picky).

An out of the box idea, any emotions or trauma tied to the shoulder? Somatic therapy is a method to release emotion stuck in the body and from personal experience with my injuries stem to stern lol it can reduce ones pains. Cranial sacral therapy if your not familiar works the facial system and alot ,alot of pains can come from this. I've dealt with shoulder injuries before, my right especially, ever try farmers walk and followed up buy hanging. The resistance training from the farmers walk will train your shoulders but also nearly your entire body. Before I had a nerve pinched in my neck a year ago I was doing a 1 km 25 lb each arm farmers walk. Than a 1 min hang. I felt as though my pull up ability was going from zero/3 to 10. But I am again rebuilding my left side now the nerve issue has subsided. I dont know if any of my rambling helps lol

@Craig Gauvreau a discomfort level of 3 to 5 is the max with chronic pain issues. You push just enough for gain but not injury.

My Willpower was Shattered...
I'm posting to inform you all that a had 2.5 pints of Guinness last night 😕 Being out of town and my favourite drinks on the house was all it took for me to break. But, I will not wallow in shame. This was a one-off, and I'll just carry on. The good news is that I haven't touched any cannabis in 6 days. If you had any moments of weakness during Sober October so far, don't be afraid to share.

I think sober October is cool, but if Cannibus is your medicine why are you stopping it? It would be the same for myself stopping my weekly treatments. Going cold turkey off cannibus can lead to greater MH concerns and issue. I am speaking from experience being stable on Cannibus than stopping abruptly and being in a high stress situation I started having not so friendly MH symptoms well say. I just worry thats all. Thats where the comes from. Cheers

Mefloquine - The Drug Scandal Nobody is Talking About
This video hit home. Earlier this year I talked with CAF veteran, Dave Bona, about mefloquine poisoning of the Airborne Regiment in Somalia. The stories he told me were heartbreaking. What I didn't realize was that I'm a casualty of this drug as well. Over 16k CAF Aghan vets were prescribed this extremely toxic anti-malarial and I failed the initial triage test for brain damage (I know, surprising eh? lol) This video is posted in lead up to a protest happening on Parliament Hill on Oct 4th to let Canadians and our politicians know that they owe us all some recognition and compensation for knowingly poisoning us and continuing to prescribe it to its soldiers. LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE with a fellow veteran that may not know they've been poisoned. P.S. I'll be in Ottawa on Sunday at the protest. Drop me a line if you're going to be there.

Late 2020 is when I met Dave via Facebook. Since feb 2021 I haven't touched caffeine, once I stopped the sandpaper effect on my brain stopped. Caffeine is a stimulant and for me was causing me to bounce off the revlimiter. Just saying Dave bona around mefloquine is fully of knowledge for health.
