A study may show a link between body temperature and depression. In an article on Science Alert I read that "There's a Curious Link Between Depression And Body Temperature, Large Study Finds."

Depression is something I have struggled with most of my life. I am really unsure if I was born this way and that's why my life sucks or if I am this way because my life sucks. My mom told me that my grandmother "cried all the time, just like you" but I don't know if she had depression, when she was growing up the Depression was a whole other calamady. Medications did not help me, in fact most had the opposite effect on me that they reportedly have on others, as well as physical side effects.

Joint aches and rain are one way that weather and pain are connected. Are there others?

I love storms, but my body doesn't. How about you?

The news is full of talk about the "opioid crisis" and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories have both side effects and risks as well.

Pain is something that we all (except a very few) have encountered in one form or another. Some people enjoy pain, or even revel in causing others pain, if this is you, you have the wrong website.  What I am going to do here is talk about different kinds of pain and ways to relieve, release or irradicate pain. In some ways, pain is a matter of perception, and we all have different tolerance levels for different types of pain, physical, psychological and emotional. I am going to start with my own issues, since I know them well and discuss things that have helped me, in hopes they may help you too.
