I am writing for others to read and maybe understand where i'm coming from and also maybe someone will read this and relate and be able to get …
Here is a HUG from me to you for a GREAT weekend ahead.
Thought you could use a hug, how are you doing?
At least you will know after your appointment. Until then, get some ice packs and/ or hot packs at a drug store and/or WalMart in the healthcare area or a hardware store in the sports area look for gel ice packs in a soft plastic wrapper you can microwave them or freeze them to help your pain. I have several for all the "achey braky" spots. Soak in an epsom salt bath or get some rub at a good health food store look for one with Arnica this works better on severe pain. Even a hot shower or go to a Recreation Centre and join a Gentle Aquacise Pool class this helps. Or a Beginners gentle yoga class tell the instructor you have a lot of pain and they should tell you which works for you and what not to do. Hope this helps you my sister in pain. Guys get this too and some are here at Daily Strength. But mostly women get it for some unknown reason. Humidity changes in weather make the pain act up and changes in the barometer. Pain tells us when a weather change is coming up before the weatherman!!!!
Thanks, I was feeling a bit sluggish and tired this afternoon, I slept for 3 hours, and was achy today. I am feeling a bit better though, I think the humidity is wiping me out. How are you feeling?

Hi I was actually just diagnosed yesterday after years of being told nothing was wrong. I went to my reumatologist and he diagnosed me.
Hi everyone I am dealing with a mom and stepdad who are addicts. I lost my real dad to drugs when I was 14. I have pretty much been dealing with addicts my whole life. I really have no one to talk to about my feelings so I joined here. I am also here for anyone else because I'm sure I'll relate to alot of you so feel free to contact me if you need to talk.
