The doctor looks at me and says he can do all that but it's pretty painful when the only thing wrong with me he can see is ME. I was beyond stressed (lot of stuff going on to include sleep deprivation) and had done all that crap to myself.

Possessing only that knowledge I kicked that BS out of my head in 3 days. It was for me a real eye-opener into how much the mind can do to the body.

We are currently in a horrible situation none of have any control over and it's got some of us stressed the F- out. I haven't had time to deal with stress over any damned virus because everybody doing and saying stupid shit keeps my meter pegged. Who's got time to get sick?
Yeah I was thinking of the virus too but didn't have a fever or cough or shortness of breath, and couldn't imagine where I could have picked it up since there hasn't even been a case in the tri county area right around me, and I'm pretty much in the middle. But it all goes through the head when you're tired and freaked out, and that is just making things worse because of how big of an impact the mind can have over the body.

Unbelievable how much better I feel today being able to RELAX, knowing nothing is wrong with my heart. I'm actually hittin' the gym, even though I can still feel a little tightness and pressure feeling, but I know now 100% it's a pinched nerve deal. Well, muscle helps hold the skeleton straight and in place so, might as well keep exercising. I always feel my best when I hit it anyway. Shouldn't even ever take a week off from lifting. Ought to exercise every other day minimum.
