| Thanks Kim....the hardest part for me is that when the pain is at it's worst I tend to be impatient and grumpy with my poor husband...  I am trying to work on this...

| | Do any of you find when you are in pain, you get tired faster? I just don't get as much done as I want to. It's not debilitating, but I do find myself getting very impatient with myself and others and yes, really grumpy. I have a tendency to pull away from people and want to be alone. |

| Sorry Sissy, I thought I had responded to your question....I must not have pushed send, sheesh...anyway yes, I do tend to have to rest when I am in the most pain....and not get that much done....I am learning to not set time goals on the things I want to get done...do what I can when my pain level is low and not worry about it when the pain is at it's highest....I have found that taking caffeine (coffee or strong tea) in late afternoon tends to help me get through what is the busiest family time of day....it not only gives me a little extra energy but also eases the pain a little bit...
