    I’ve had arthritis since I was like 24 or 25. It really does suck… I miss the days when I didn’t hurt constantly.

      I really am so sorry to hear about that. Even though I suffer none of these ailments myself, I’ve witnessed my elderly parents and friends (yes, I have elderly friends) go through coping with this negative permanent change to their day to day existence, and it is heartbreaking. It is an experience I can only logically expect to one day viscerally experience myself.

      I wish I could offer you more than sympathy, truly. I hope you can find some peace and joy in the probably brief reprieves from your sufferings.

        Thankfully medicine gets better every day! It’s not great, but it isn’t terrible. It’s just kind of “this sucks” rather than “I hate my life”.

        Thank you for your kind thoughts! 😊
