"It is important for me to empower my community with pain solutions as a community with chronic pain we are suffering, almost or if not on a daily basis this not only affects our professional lives , but personal life as well even just a little bit of relief can change your whole day… we also need better solutions especially for those days where we will or cannot not make it for medical attention at that time for whatever reason.

I decided to use Spicey for pain relief because as someone who has two jobs in which I’m a caregiver for my grandfather, but I also have my own job, in which, sometimes I cannot use a heating pad that needs electricity."

The medical bag is never ending. Always pads, medication organizer, wallet, lipstick or lip gloss, depending on the day/night, lotion always , an extra bag with clothes, just in case lol and a Spicey heat pack.

"If you are in pain know that you are not alone, also remember that this is not your fault. Sometimes I have to remind myself. On a day that I needed to get tons of things done I decided to put the Spicey heat pack on, because I knew that I wasn’t going to be in the house to have that relief. To my surprise at heat up instantly, but I was even more surprised when my pain was manageable. I was able to get everything done with my grandfather on top of my own work and actually move around and walk the dog and get some exercise in.

This is huge considering that was not a low pain day. One thing that I think I would suggest also for those who are starting off on this journey is to track how you feel with the heat pack on as well as your spoons.
