[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, the original poster buried the lead. She has chronic pain issues stemming from an injury. That may be what she’s referring to when she said she needs a break. Speaking of someone who was once in a similar position, taking a few months to give my body a break was very helpful. I went to physical therapy, etc. That might be what she’s talking about. For example, if it’s a wrist injury or a back or neck injury, it could be hard for her to sit at a desk or computer all day long.

It is of course ridiculous usually not to work or be in school in the situation. But it sounds like she might be struggling with the health issue and that changes the analysis.[/quote]

OP here. She was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in her neck and nerve entrapment. She also has lower back issues from the same issue in her spine.

She goes to therapy herself and gets steroids shots.

She’s a physical therapist. [/quote]

Has she spoken to her doctor about surgery? My aunt had a similar issue (although not in her neck) and had back surgery and it was a game changer.  Took her a few years to decide to do it and she spoke with many different doctors.  She did hot yoga, saw an acupuncturist, but finally decided western medicine was what she needed.  Can your gf get a second opinion?  Alternative medicine?

When I was a child my mom still worked while dying from cancer because she had bills to pay and a (large) life insurance policy through work she wanted paid out. So, I don't have sympathy for people who can work out and life weights but think they can't hold down a job or attend school.

Re:juice fast.  I would not do that.  My husband did that and he got all puffy from all the sugar.  It increased his inflammation, did not help it.  She can just eat foods that help with inflammation and stay away from those that cause it. She can also get tested to see if she has any food/ product sensitivities or allergies. [/quote]
