I see under my screen name it says, 'senior member'....does that come with a discount or are you guys just reminding me of my 'gray'?

Means you can join AARP,,, but I know Cyclops how you feel,, do something,, be in pain,, do nothing,, be in pain,, look at the pill bottles and wonder which one just might take the edge off for at least 5 minutes,,, I;m tired of crying in the darkness,,, there has to be something in this huge world or ours that can make our lives more managable,,, I wish my family understood,, I am so tired of just sitting in a lounger,, getting up,, stumbling around like a drunk,, guts in overdrive,,, and just wondering at what point does it all just come to a head where you actually lose your mind,, I admire your acceptance of this thing called PN,,
I have watched my family come apart over this,, I have lost my wife,, she doesnt understand this horror show,,, my sons dont see it,, I go over to see my sister next door,, tel her how bad it is and she tells me her fooot hurts,,, want to trade,, take my body for a hour and i;ll take your foot pain,,,
Lifes hard right now

Gray would be good,,, I have a gray shirt on today,,, kinda matches the whole body PN we feel,,,

Think "grey" looks/sounds more Brit - like that better than "gray."

Either way, PN of any stripe is beyond bummer. It's as if one day somebody just used a dimmer switch on us, set it way down low and made it stick in that position.

I know that feeling sick all the time is much worse than not, having had one illness that almost killed me when I was 30 - hepatitis/jaundice from shellfish - but I did recover after a year, obviously.

But it's still a dirty trick to wake up feeling pretty doggone good only to have it fade away as the day goes on and realize the SFSN is still here.

Shucks.

Best wishes to all,

I know the feeling. Had family in town today & took it for all it was worth, which means I'm already pretty roughed up from it. Hate to think of what tomorrow will feel like, but hate even more the thought of missing time with family....

Yes I know how you feel do too much you are in pain, do nothing and you are in pain, makes no sense, grey sounds like a good word as if a grey cloud in hanging over you.

Grey is good. Grey is this lousy flare I am trying to shake right now. Take more of the medicine... The medicine makes me grey. And now I can't sleep at night because of the medicine (prednisone) and that's grey... Whack your body with more grey medicine. Why is this not working?
