My body is deteriorating.

Apr 27, 2009 18:47

So maybe three months ago, my knees started feeling stiff. This was odd, but I didn't think much of it because my knees have always ground and popped, and I figured this was the next stage in my eventual arthritis.

Six weeks ago, my legs started feeling tired all the time, like I had been working out. I chalked this up to not getting enough sleep. My shoulders have also been cracking more.

Easter morning, I wake up and my left pinky is really stiff. A few days later, my ring finger on the same hand is kind of stiff, and my pinky on the other side is sometimes stiff in the morning.

Today, I wake up and my hands are stiff through my middle fingers, my wrists and elbows feel odd, my knees are stiff, and holy cow, I discover when I brush my teeth that I can't open my mouth all the way because my jaw is locked up.

This is too much. I have a doctor's appointment for Wednesday.
