I ‘ve been posting a lot on instagram of late, primarily on chronic pain, mind-body method, neuroplastic symptoms, TMS and the like.
If you are not aware of my instagram page, look for @drdavela I even have a few videos discussing patients and recovery from pain. Some are of general interest as well.
Through the instagram-facebook linkage, these posts also appear on facebook.com/thinkawayyourpain
I intend to make more videos and post on facebook.com/DSMDCulverCity . I’d like to change the name of this page since I’m not in Culver City any more, I’m in West LA (as you know).
In the meantime, I have also submitted a new psychological theory paper to a medical journal.
I am also beginning to write a book for the general public called, tentatively, “Ask Your Family Doctor” which shares the insights and knowledge I have acquired over my forty years since medical school began. I’m kind of downloading my medical ‘brain’ into that book. I’ve answered many questions from patients in the office (and elsewhere) and I’m trying to include the topics and answers that people want to and need to know. The knowledge is in my head; it’s time to get in down as a reference for people and a summary of my Family Medicine and Sports Medicine work (with a smattering of mind-body medicine, as well).
So look at some of these social media sites if you are so inclined. Wait for further announcements about articles and a book. Keep your body moving. Exercise. Get outside (if you’re not in smoky Los Angeles on a bad day) and eat fruits and vegetables.
Be well!
