I'd give a lot to be able to take an Advil - muscle relaxers are NOT the same. I feel really stupid taking pain pills for back pain/cramps/spasms; it may not make sense, but those pills are for my migraines. I just hate feeling weak. Then again I don't know any healthy person who enjoys that feeling. My body should listen to me, damn it. Okay done

For some reason I picture you looking like that cranky alien, flashy red eyes and all. :D

Sorry for the back stuff. Have you had a serious talk with your body? (I ask seriously, mind over matter, and all that.)

Um LONG answer *winces*

You wouldn't know it just now, but I'm usually very positive. I mean positive to Pollyanna levels. I've always felt if you can't find a reason to laugh, a reason to be happy, then you are not looking hard enough. However, with my luck I expect that those curve balls are coming, there is just no way around it, but they are an adventure. That's why I call myself an optimistic pessimist.
Every so often, pain just gets to me. For a few days I'm cranky, I'm moody, and I'm as close to depressed or without hope as I get. (I think I might have glowing red eyes on occasion *g*) I'm very hard to be around. Then - thank goodness - it goes away; because I can't deal with myself when I feel this way. I don't want to cry (though I do), I want to scream and curse and rip things apart. I cheer myself up knowing that soon those feelings will be gone, even if the pain isn't. I'll go on cleaning or gardening sprees to take out the destructiveness. This afternoon it hurt to move, it hurt to breathe - my lower back just kept seizing. The pain will move

I like the creative use of destructive energy! And I like long answers! Too many LJ comments are too small.
