Why Is Tai Chi Beneficial For Millennials?
Millennials is a broadly defined term for those born in the ‘80s and ‘90s. They came of age at the turn of the century and with the introduction of the internet. Technology has always been a factor in their daily life and as a group, they’re known for heavy work schedules with its attendant high levels of stress and fatigue. And of course, work and family pressures can adversely affect how we think, feel, and behave.

Causes, Symptoms, And Complications Of Gallstones
The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ that is located on the right side of your abdomen. It holds bile, a digestive fluid that helps in digestion and breaking down the fats into fatty acids. If bile becomes hard and gets deposited in the gallbladder, gallstones are formed. You can suffer from multiple gallstones that are different in size ranging from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. A few of the individuals may develop only a single gallstone, and others may develop several gallstones at the same time.

Life With A Chronic Illness
Today is Tuesday, November 24, 2020. I feel like I have been hit by a train. The typical feeling when I first get up in the morning. Almost every person with fibromyalgia or chronic pain feels like this when they first wake up. Sleeping is a relief since I don't feel pain, don't think. Sleep does not come easy for me at all. I will be so exhausted that I can barely keep my eyes open, but trying to fall asleep is another thing. You see, on top of fibromyalgia, I also have 2 herniated discs in my neck, 4 herniated discs in my low back, spinal degeneration, spinal stenosis, arthritis in my back, arthritis in my hands, knees & feet. I have a hard time falling asleep to different types of pain. It makes getting comfortable far from easy. I usually have to have a heating pad under my low back and a body pillow for my right side. I also have 2 pillows I use between my knees. This helps keep my spine aligned properly. When I do finally get comfortable, I sleep for a couple of hours at a time. Very frustrating! Some nights, I only manage a half-hour of sleep. This sleep pattern does not help with chronic pain. I feel like a permanently exhausted pigeon.
