Yep...that's what pain is. It can be your best ally when detecting other problems in your body and it can be your worst enemy when you don't know why the heck it's invading your body. I'm part of the latter group. I have no idea why I suffer so many physical setbacks. I mean, this has been happening ALL my life...one incident after another. The worst part of it all is when you have a completely functioning brain and hands. Some days I really sense that my mind did not shut down...even in my sleep. I never use to wake up tired, not only do I wake up tired, I wake up later than usual. Is this all part of aging? If so, this is not fun. I don't feel like my "normal" self. Every errand is intricately timed, so I know just how many steps I can take or how many times I can carry a bag before my body just gives out in some way.
Not trying to have a pity party, just wanted to talk about my reality right now. :::heavy sigh:::
