I just got online or would have responded earlier. I hope you're feeling MUCH better by now. I know the feeling in the morning -- it takes quite awhile before i feel like moving. Most of the time I look like Quasi Modo !!

Prayers coming your way for a less painful time! Take care. Hugs, Lee

I also hope you are doing better.. I roll out of my bed. Cuz I can't sit up. I have to climb stairs also to get to the main level of our home which is a chore. I hear and feel your pain. I wish there was a cure, or a med that would help us. I haven't found it though. My thoughts and prayers to you. Feel better friend. If you ever need to chat, let me know..
