Fun with Fibro - adding it all up

[staxxy]

Fibro doesn't really have a maximum setting. CFIDS doesn't either, and I suspect that other auto-immune issues are the same

How do you feel about cherries?

[staxxy]

I love cherries. Why do you ask?

[rocza]

I was reading this earlier about cherries as a source of COX-1/2 inhibitors and as a general, NSAID-like pain reliever. Seemed like something you might want to read about. :-)

and here I was thinking that my feeling good after eating cherries every June was all psychological. ;)

Thanks!!

You're the first person I've run into who understands the reading, TV etc thing. Everyone else asks how I can stand to read when I'm in horrible pain; they don't get that I can't stand NOT to read when I'm in that kind of pain!

I hope your pain level goes down very, very soon.

[staxxy]

of course I get it. I live it.

I think anyone who lives it, gets it. But a lot of people who don't live it can't get it, and that's what this post is mainly about.

OMG. laughed so hard when I read about likening lack of spoons to thacO. I is so right and I'm soooo going to borrow this next gaming session when I get tagged for not paying enough attention on a "bad day".

Can I outright steal the paragraph of "life goes on despite the pain" that you wrote? It's so much better written than I could have and touches on most of the points I find salient.

as long as I get credit, paste away... or, you know, write it ona baseball bat to beat people with. ;)

:D yay laughter!!!

totally share with your gaming group!
