I've been kinda lurking also. Not sick, praise God, knee issues. Really struggling to not whine or be a B! Coping with pain is the pits. At least our weather is decent. Sorry for the new snow falling.

Big hugs to all.
Ditto the lurking. About the only thing I'm dealing with besides allergies is when the fibromyalgia flares up. I'm on Humira for it but I still can trigger an attack when I do too much heavy work. Cleaning the yard two days in a row kept me so crippled that I didn't move at all this last Sunday. Even breathing hurts when it gets that bad. Laying down is agony. Once I stop moving around, the pain will recede a little. I'm much better today.
I feel your pain. I, too, have fibromyalgia. I am on Cymbalta which does help a little. However, my right upper arm is what hurts the most, even though it is all over pain. I just keep going until it gets so bad, I have to stop. I have found that yoga helps because it does stretch the muscles. Take care of yourself. Donna G
