Body wide pain

[dainbramage]

Have anyone noticed how old you look when you look in the mirror? Or do you think you look older than you should?
I DO! I am younger than my husband, but I bet people think I am older. Plus many think I am nonsocial. Hey when you have pain and you are concentrating on moving, its hard to notice other people around you. I am also a product of the generation of southern women who did most everything in the household, while the husband went to work. (I used to mow the lawn, too. Only thing I can't do is work on my car. ) So I guess what I am saying is that I still think I need to do everything. I need to stop or I will make my kids spoiled and lazy.
Okay I am being melancholy. Not good.

[dainbramage]

No, I think I look older because of SjS or maybe I feel older. Rough 2 days, but back to 12 hour shifts Sat. and Sun. and on call Sat night..........FUN

[tired of it]

Still dont know how you manage 12 hour shifts,, I cant even fathom it,, I seriously think I would drop dead,, I shoveled teh driveway yesterday,, body is burning beyond belief,, thought I would sleep good,, ya right,, went to bed at 10pm,, back up at 4am,, body just tottaly wasted and barely able to move,,, I dont like Mirrows anymore, they show what other people see, and it aint pretty

dainbramage, When I worked at a major telecom, I was able to modify my hours with the help of the union and FMLA.

Flutterfly, @ 35 yo, B4 AI, I was carded & peeps accuse me of using bros ID.

Sorry, I tried, but can seem to do it your way. The age thing always bothered my wife. We are a few months apart and until this illness hit I looked like I was in my late teens or early 20's. One massage therapist that I volunteer with people think he is my older brother. He just turned 40 and I am 57. By the way I am an only child.

[dainbramage]

I am an only child, too. 
It maybe these last 2 months have been so rough between me and my child's health that I think I look older. I don't know.
I really haven't had time to take care of myself. So maybe I'm feeling down? CHOCOLATE TIME

[Joe S.]

Chocolate, mmm. I find that for me two Dark Side M&M's are just as good as two percoset for relieving pain.

[dainbramage]

JUST 2? how about the whole bag

[Joe S.]

It only takes to for the same level of pain relief. A whole bag can last a few days.

[dainbramage]

Whole bag makes the world melt away.
