I Survived Depression - so can YOU!

Exhaustion, pain, tiredness, do you feel like you can relate to any of those aforementioned words? If you do, you may be suffering from fatigue. Which carries with it a wide range of various pains, ills and afflictions. From lethargy to muscle pain caused by work, mental or physical. Physical fatigue does, of course, prevent you form doing day-to-day chores. Mental fatigue leads to solemnness and depression.

Fatigue is caused by working out, mental issues, depression, jet lag, boredom, disease and a lack of sleep. Waking up without having your proper amount of sleep can make you feel even more tired. Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can also cause fatigue.

And, if you have any signs of fatigue you need to ask yourself another question - along with feeling tired all the time do I have any of the following? (more…)

Have you ever suffered from joint pain? It affects about a third of the world’s population and if you are an athlete or at least participate in a sport such as golf or tennis you may have felt the pain in your elbow, wrist or ankle. Joint pain is something that can be acquired through injury or perhaps you even have it in your genes (hereditary). Joint pain can come in many forms. Diseases such as: Osteoarthritis, Septic Arthritis, Tendonitis and Bursitis can cause joint pain or have it as an effect.

Have you ever wondered if it was caused by Arthritis? Well it may be, because one of the most common causes of joint pain is Arthritis. Arthritis is classified as a joint disorder caused by inflammation in one or more joints but, it could also be Bursitis which is an inflammation of the bursa caused by the sacs filling with fluid. These are not to be confused and/or classified as the same, because they are both very different although no doubt both are very, very painful. However, it could be a number of other things. (more…)

Golfers know that there is nothing like the feel of swinging a golf club especially if you haven’t swung one in a while. It’s the sweet feel of the grip and the club in your hands that feels so good. And, for most golfers it’s especially sweet at this time of year since it’s been so long since we have been on the course.

Anyone who has ever played golf knows exactly what I am talking about. It’s like electricity travels from the head of the club through the shaft and then up through your arms and into the rest of your body. No matter how I am feeling when I think of that feeling I can’t help, but feel good.

The problem is that since I have not played a round of golf in almost 4 months I really am missing the game! At first it wasn’t too bad, but now as the months wear by it’s becoming increasingly difficult.

I know that I will be getting out my clubs and teeing off soon. However, since it is still somewhat cold outside I’m still looking for ways to spend my time. It’s this time of year when golfers become very creative at finding things to do other than golf. And, I thought that I had tried everything to keep myself occupied until recently when I found one really cool thing that I had overlooked. (more…)
