Just an outrageous amount of pain, today. My legs hurt so horribly from my low back and hips down to my feet. Walking is...well, very difficult, at best. All the usual areas are screaming, too but it kind of scares me when meds don't even take the edge off.

Last Sunday's cider making party was postponed until today because of weather. I can't be a no show. I guess I will be the one in a lawn chair with a camera. I still have several hours to will my body into cooperating. It's never worked before, though...

So...which came first, depression or pain? I guess it's a toss up!

I hope that once you get the day rolling, you find enjoyment and your mind is taken off your pain. ((Hugs))

Hope the day gets better for you Cherry. Cider making sounds like lots of fun. Maybe you can post some pictures of the festivities.

It's so hard with pain to get to the activities that can cheer out souls. Remember at the end of the day, the person with the camera is the most sought after. "Did you get a good one of me?"

Pain first...depression second....acceptance, most of the time!

I am sorry that you are hurting so much, sit down and enjoy the videography.

HUGS

for me the pain came first! sometimes it worries me to when the meds dont work. like last night had this horrid chest pain (i'm thinking my rib cage arthritis) none of my meds made a dent.I have a rule of thumb, if it dosn't go away in three days make an appointment lol and try to ride it out. It still sux big time.

if it keeps hanging on and on and on i would see your pain management doc and let him/her know your pain is no longer controlled.

i sure hope you feel better soon, just remember we have good days and bad, a good day should be comming around soon

Sorry Cherry extract you are hurting so much. Wish I could be there and hug on you! I know it gets depressing hurting day after day and having to push yourself through it.

You so need a good soaking and rest and maybe some anti-inflammatories. Some good smelling soap and bubble bath. How about some candlelight? You deserve to treat yourself so try to find the time for this.

Many blessings,
Toni
