Default Achy Breaky Body

Am I just getting old or is the change from Summer to Fall, giving me these aches and pains? It seems like every move I make hurts like heck.

I sound like and organ grinder when I move....Oooh, Ouch, Whine, Grouch, Cry, Moannnnnnn!! Scsares the Dog. .Not funny!

Anyone else, here, 90 going on 99? Is it my MS kicking up or is age and experience, now, my enemy?

Whine, Biotch, Gripe, Groan......

Default My experience

Fall is the start of my extra stiffness in my joints. For now, I lay under a blanket and the warmth helps.

Once winter hits I wear high top, light weight tennis shoes, a light jacket when going out and a light weight blanket is on our bed. I use an electric blanket on the couch set on 'low'.

I too take Baclofen...

Sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable!

Do you do stretching exercises? They say it helps for arthritis and for MS. I hope you get some relief.

I hope you feel better soon Sally. I've been really achy lately too. I take more pills and meds now at 48 than my Dad took at 92.

Thanks All, and I'm sorry that you are achy too.

I took 2 asprins, layed down and I felt a little better. I don't take a lot of Meds, Ewizabeth, just Paxil and LDN. That may have to change, if Arthur-Itis is coming for a visit.

BBS, I do stretch, when I think about it, but sometimes I stay in one position way longer than I should. I know that's a no no, but I forget, when I'm on my PC or watching TV.

I agree 0357, I think the change in weather is effecting me too. Sometimes I can be warm enough, but my legs and feet will be cold. At night, I sleep with a comforter and let my feet stick out.

I'm glad I'm not alone, but sorry we all have to suffer..KWIM?

Hugs,

It's old age, Sally!

I'll be 56 in December, and I make so much noise when I move I SOUND like an antique!
