...Barely tolerable, I daresay...

I've tried to stay fairly cool today and not over-exert at all, so WTH is wrong with me?  My right hand, wrist and elbow have been aching all day.  Same with my right knee, hip and ankle.  The chronic pain under my right shoulder blade has been acting up as well.  I've taken all the does of the Clinoril since Wed and had to resort to Tylenol today.  Neither seemed to help at all.  Not a damn bit and it's been quite wearing to hurt over such a wide-spread area.  I've used heat wraps all day in hopes of having enough distraction so the meds can work.  Maybe I should have used ice instead.  I hate icing.  It's also difficult to ice a hip....  At least as big a hip as mine!

The pain in my hip and knee was so bad overnight that I dreamed that I was at some sort of outdoor market looking for the Indian homeopathic vendor.  He listened to my symptoms and made some teas that I had to drink each day.  I collected my teas and then went to look for a restroom (waking shortly thereafter having to go to the bathroom!)

I was reading about glucosamine last week, thinking about starting to take it because of my joint pain.  You don't know what to believe when you start reading information about that stuff!  One kind is effective and another kind isn't.  One kind (the "effective" kind) is made from the shells of shellfish.  The kind that is vegetarian isn't supposed to be effective at all according to a big study.  What the heck are you supposed to believe?

I guess it's time to try the ice...  Damn, I hope it helps.
