I have developed aches and pains throughout my entire body especially in all my joints. My neck often feels so tight and painful it is hard for me to get out of bed because i feel dizzy. On my best days i try to be active and even attempt some physical excercise. But the result of my exercise the following days just makes my pain even worst. I know that exercise could be the key to solving my physical pain but i cant seem to get past the initial soreness i feel from pushing myself. I use to take Xanax daily and it seemed to make my body not ache so much. I quit taking it because i knew it was just a bandaid and not a solution to my problems. Should i use Xanax occaisionally if it helps me get to the gym on those days my mind is creating too much discomfort? I have been living with terrible anxiety for the past 3 years.

Living with diabetes is inherently a stressful condition. Fluctuating blood sugar levels put tremendous strain on the body's systems. The practical demands of balancing intake of insulin or oral medications, blood glucose monitoring, nutrition and exercise can seem like a daunting task for many. Circulation: Massage increases the circulation of blood and lymph, facilitating the transport of oxygen and other nutrients into the body's tissues. Myofascial Effects: Massage works directly with the muscles (myo) and connective tissues (fascia), helping to facilitate greater mobility in the body. This is especially important for the diabetic because elevated blood sugars cause a thickening of connective tissue, which in turn affects mobility and elasticity of the myofascial system.
