Pain

What is it with pain? I come back from vacation having managed the pain just fine, but for the last several days all I have is PAIN.

Pain in the joints; pain in the knees; pain in the hips; general muscle fatigue. Overwhelming tiredness.

Ok, the cold doesn't help and I know I've been fighting one...

I have about 10 tender points which lead to the fibromyalgia diagnosis, but technically you need 11 of 18 points to have an official diagnosis.

Great. where does that put me?

In pain.

Royal pain the you-know-what.

I know that the amount of sleep affects the pain level...which tells me I haven't had enough sleep the last several days.

Oh and Jessica's making me chocolate chip cookies tonight. Chocolate fixes everything, right? I know it helps with pain...


but then I have other issues with the chocolate and butter, but I'll save that for another day.
