When I woke up this morning I had a funny thought and it make me remember Forest Gump's saying Life is like a box of Chocolates! I had though it would be good if you could chose which pain or symptom you were going to have that day. So if you were going to be walking, the pain could be in your arm instead, or if you needed to concentrate, then it could be in your body and leave your head clear. Or even better, put all the pain in a box and not open it!
Today both ankles decided to flare up, as if getting around with one wasn't hard enough. I am hoping to go shopping for an hour in the morning, so hopefully it will have moved some where else when I get up. I know some sufferers use a wheelchair rather than stay home, but not sure how I feel about the idea as I would be worried people would think there is nothing wrong with me. That's the biggest problem with invisible illnesses, you look fine most of the time, so people don't know how much pain you are in.
The back of my neck as been painful too, so can't turn my head much and as usual when its there it gave me a splitting headache. Paul put some of the pain relieveing gel on my neck, which easied it for a little while. It's still hard to believe how many parts of the body are affected, but we do have a lot of muscles, tendons and ligaments.
