Poor thing

Wife just got diagnosed with Chronic Pain Disease.  It's similar to Fibromialga, but it's caused by pain nerves continuing to sent the pain signal even after they shouldn't in areas of the body that have had long term pain.  There's no known cure, only pain management and the hope that the body will figure it out and fix it itself.  So far, she's been in more pain than normal with her new treatment (morphine) isn't a normal treatment, simply the only one we could afford (most meds are hundreds a month with insurance if they bother to cover it).

In other, somewhat unrelated news, I've been uncharactaristlaly angry.  Not sure if someone just set it off, or I'm just not in a good mood due to lack of sleep and other annoying pressures.
