Default My kingdom for a comfortable position

I'll be so glad when this little downturn is over!! It hurts to sit down, it hurts to lie down, it hurts to stand up, and it hurts to walk. It just hurts in different places. Some of it's MS, some is arthritis, some is mystery owies. Grrrr.

It seems as though I can find a "comfortable" position for only a few minutes at a time, then I have to rearrange myself because a muscle is starting to spasm or my leg starts to ache or my back hurts. I've changed chairs and pillows and positions so many times today, I probably burned off all the calories in my fancy chocolate.

My poor husband. I can't even stand to be next to myself today, I can only imagine how sick he's getting of hearing me whine and whimper today! I promised him that if I didn't feel better tomorrow, I'd stay in the basement except for meal times.

Aw, B2Y, I'm sorry you're in pain. I know how irritating and exhausting that can be.

I'm sure your hubby won't want you in the basement! I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

When you are ready.... let me know. Strong magnets really help me with this, esp at night.

I've used them for a decade. So let me know when you are ready to think outside the box!...

ditto that.

I cant get comfortable enough to sleep. I cant get comfortable enough to sit down, and I cant stand up long enough to comfortable doing that either.

I swear, the MS Trolls in my head are sadistic little <swear words> that could give the CIA torturers at Gitmo a run for their money. (maybe that's where the MS Trolls learned their little torture skills? altho, to the MS Trolls, "waterboarding" means a whole different thing)

This type of thing has been bothering me for a couple of weeks now. Thinking I may have to increase my baclofen

What kind of side effects does Baclofen have? It sounds as though a low dose of that might help me.
