[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 392610, member: 4040"] I hurt. All the time. Hips, knees, lower back, hands, forearms...just ache. It hurts to sit, and it hurts to get up. It hurts to move, and it hurts not to. Motrin and Tylenol do nothing, and even leftover Vicodin doesn't help. The past three days my hands have been so stiff and achy when I got up that I could barely move them, and couldn't even make a fist till several hours later. I can't hold on to things, and even though I have carpal tunnel, and am permanently partially disabled with it, this is a different kind of pain. My hands are swelling and feel hot, and most of the time I can't wear my wedding ring - it just doesn't fit. I'm absolutely exhausted, and would be happy to sleep 12 hours a day. Not possible when I'm working. I forget what I'm going to say in the middle of a sentence. If I wasn't working this afternoon, I'd go back to bed right now. Add in our financial stress, the holidays, and Miss KT's impending return for a month at Christmas (9 days was about enough), and I can't even think straight. My blood sugar is under control, I'm taking my medications like I'm supposed to, I'm getting better on the eating right thing...but there's something else going on with me. [/QUOTE]
