Edit...that was climbing not limbing...damned old keyboard. It can't be my lack of coodination!

I am so sorry you hurt yourself prepping for the garage sale. UGH. I loathe garage sales, although we've had to have several because of finances... People want to pay $1 for a dress that cost $200. it makes me insane.

I hope that your spasms get back under control and you're able to cash in big time!

Peace,

Cherry, i've done this a million times before i got the message.. you.have.to.pace.yoursef.... now i know to stop Before the pain begins.
Your comfort should be first priority, aside from when you Have to show up and be at work... please.... learn to love and take care of yourself. Your friend,tooth2k

So sorry you are hurting. I have learned this lesson myself and always forget to pace myself. I have been painting a few rooms and ugh!! My back and legs are killing me. My parents are coming to our house for the holiday and I thought I could get a few things done before they come.. Stupid Stupid...

Hope you get your pain under control. It sucks when there is so much we want to do and pain keeps us from doing it..

When I get relief from meds I tend to do more then.... it's payback time.
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I pray the flare is short. Soak in some epsom salts if you have them.

I love to go to garage sales but I don't so much like giving them! You wouldn't think they were as much work as they are! I hope at least you sale is successful! Maybe you can treat yourself with a new heating pad! Lol!

i agree with the overdoing it when you get relief - and paying later. after having some of those incidents of just taking meds on the empty stomach. i'll just have a few bites of anything yogurt, granola bar, to keep from puking or being a zombie. i really hope you feel better by now. hope your garage sale goes well, too.

I do this all the time even tho I know what is going to happen I keep on doing it, why I guess we do it because we know any bit of pain relief we better use it or loose it.

We already have full plates because we have off days that leave us not able to do some things so it always feels like we are behind and when we get the chance we try to play catch up and in the end we end up more behind because it takes more time to recoup.( The CP way of doing things) LOL

I do hope that you got done what you needed to do and you made a boat load of money for your efforts and pain

Manny, I need to make a boatload of money right now. Not working is killing my savings in a hurry.

I'm definitely paying today, though. My back and neck hurt like crazy and my legs, feet, arms and and hands are throbbing with pain.

This is so discouraging.

Remember, yard sales are a lot of work, even when you're not in pain. Ask anyone who's done a big one. Even healthy people get worn out. Ask for help. Take it slow. Break it down into small steps.

opps, meant to say, When I do them, I buy different colored dots for pricing. Create several charts, red dot= $1 Blue dot=.50 White dot=price as marked, and so on. The when you price, just slap the correct dot on, tell people to check the chart when the ask you prices. Makes it easy for people helping you to. Big time saver!!!!
