Hello, and welcome to Sunlight in Winter!
I’m Christy, and I’m an aspiring physical therapist. I started this blog several years ago to share what I’ve learned on my own personal journey with chronic pain.
From there my focus has grown. Now I also write about health & fitness, developing a healthy relationship with your body, and my journey through life itself.
I also run My Sacroiliac Joint Saga, a blog focusing on sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
I hope what you read here is helpful to you!
For more about me:
My story: Gives you a little more background info about me, my journey, and why I write a blog.
My writing: Super personal stuff I still can’t believe I put on the internet, but I keep going in the hope of helping others.

Thanks Stina! Accepted :)
You are so very welcome!
I`m so sorry for your pain! I felt like I could barely move a few years ago, for a few years, until I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance (not Celiac`s- http://thegreatzambini.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/dietary-styles-primer/) and I cleared my diet of it. Then I had tons more energy, and less pain! Have you tried that? Experts say you have to go two months clean, as any time less than that you still have leftover poison and pain.
That’s interesting! I’ve heard a few stories like yours, of people who cut out gluten and felt a lot better. I have to admit, the different types of gluten-intolerance confuse me a little bit. I have tried reducing gluten before, but never completely eliminated it. It’s definitely something to think about for the future. Thanks for your comment!
If you aren`t sure, it is best to just cut all of it out, spelt and oats and everything else included. Then, after two months, you can introduce one new possibility a month, so you know if you can handle it or not. It really is a poison that seems to stick around forever, the two month mark feels like almost magic! Some acupuncture and yoga has been shown to help as well. Keep going, you`ll get better eventually!
