Hardly. I don't make enough to live on. Not in this area anyway. And I
really do miss working. I am a people person. You don't see too many
people sitting at home and there isn't much I can do to go out and interact
with people since I can't stand up for long or walk very far. I can't even
sit for extended periods of time without extreme pain setting in.

I have had really extreme leg pain since Sat. I can barely walk and each
and every time I have to get up or down, I have to really think about it and
decide if it is totally necessary because doing so causes me to howl with
pain. Driving a car is torture because to lift my foot from the brake to
the gas causes me to howl like a wolf and getting in and out of the car is
sheer torture.

Worse still is lying down. You would think that would bring some comfort,
but no. Only makes the pain worse. And nothing is helping. Not heat,
massage, Tylenol or even trying to walk it off or stretch. I don't know the
cause of it is but I may have to go to the Dr. if it continues. I had
planned to do the spring cleaning now when Angela is out of school. I did
manage to do a little bit but if things don't get better then not much more
will get done now.

Did not help that the front door knob fell off this morning at 5:00 a.m. I
had to find a 24/7 locksmith then wait for him to come. I'm sure he
wondered about me. I was still fully dressed but had a bathrobe on over my
clothes to try to increase the warmth to my leg muscles. I could neither
sit nor stand well so I was partway on and partway off of the unreclined
recliner, thrashing this way and that trying to seek relief. Thankfully he
was a fast worker so I was able to get to bed around 8::00. And while that
didn't bring relief I was able to sleep for a few hours and when asleep I
mostly don't seem to notice the pain. Although sometimes it is bad enough
to wake me. Just takes a while to get to sleep because of the pain.

My neck is also so stiff that I can barely move it and my right arm muscles
are as the rheumatologist put it once, like iron. Normally when they are
like this, Fibromyalgia is the cause but that almost always affects both
sides equally. Right now it is only the right arm and the right leg is far
worse than the left.

I wouldn't wish this sort of pain on anyone. It's not a fun way to live.
