I am down. Not out, but very down.
My legs are hurting – bad. I have a feeling I need to take a break. Rest up. I don’t want to, I want to pull a Forest Gump and RUN! :( I think I might have a real injury as well as a Fibro flare up. Yuck. The doctor wrote me two new scripts - one for the stiffness in the muscles and one for the arthritis. This is the thing the arthritis one is WAY too much to be a part of our monthly budget - even if it works. I almost don't want to take it. What if it works and then I have to live knowing life could be better, but we can't afford it. No, thanks anyway. :) Even if I gave up my gym and WW it would still be a stretch. (Yeah, and I have insurance - they just don't feel the need to cover all medication.)

I have RA myself and mostly just deal with the pain since the meds seem either too pricey or have way too many side effects. Mostly, I tend to use a heating pad for my aches and pains, which really helps...at least it helps where the heating pad makes contact and as long as i don;t move.
