hi Tamiloo and Olhipie ...

I think that I'm in denial still ... seems like I'm always in pain - and try to stay busy with quilting or checking on yous on NT ...

but if I sit too long -- then stand up >>> STIFF ... then I have to concentrate on each step I take not to falter ...

then my legs hurt all the more (like when you are sitting and a child gets 'heavy' on your lap) .. that's what it feels like while I'm standing ... and if I stand in one spot too long - like doing dishes ... I'm STIFF .. and can't turn on a dime .. need to go and sit ...

when I'm lying down - my legs go to sleep and my hip locks up that I have to wake up to grasp my leg to move it (to wake it up) to get into another position ...

when I sit - my arms feel like weights .. and I've noticed that by raising my arms over my head and clasping my hands on my head - relieves it ...

taking no pain meds ... but the neuro prescribed me Lyrica 50mg .. been reading what peops are saying ... not sure if I want to go that route yet ...

spending time alone and at home - helps me control my *issues* ...
