Connect with others living with health conditions
Ok, my body freaking hurts today. Its frustrating. I don't want to be 32 with this pain...I have too much to do! I have school, work, kids, husband and now and then some fun to have. I live off of over the counter pain meds and supplements cause I cannot/will not function on script pain relievers. It even hurts to just lay there!!! so I get up take a l o n g, HOT shower and just keep moving from that point. Every now and then stopping for my husband to rub that spot on my neck and in my arms or legs that I didn't even aggravate but that insists on aggravating me. I am tired of saying Ouch just cause I got out of a chair, that I had to get out of cause it hurts to sit there too long. Oh and what the hell is up the restless legs... I never imagined that would be so exacerbatingly painful! I sit at work mostly for 10 hours 4 days a week...so why do my feet and legs feel like they have run a marathon?
I hope that quitting smoking is my answer to a healthier, more active, more pain free lifestyle. I've got to go make dinner now...Ouch!
Fibromyalgia sucks, constant pain, some days my hair even hurts. Pain makes me want to smoke, day four and I don't smoke anymore.
@krthompson Welcome to the Ex and congrats on day 4 of of success. There are many negative side effects when people first quit smoking. It's not fun, but it's the body reacting to the loss of nicotine and a multitude of chemicals. It's your body healing.
That's still my favorite "I don't do that anymore". Hang in there. It may take some time, but it will get better.
