I have days when I am fairly active and once every couple of weeks I end up staying pretty quiet all day. Can't really put my finger on what the problem is, but I am also really, really tired. No necessarily sleepy, just really tired. Also, John, I don't see how you work like you do and keep going. I know it really has to be tough on you. When can you retire? Janice

I can't afford to be on disability but someday I may not have that choice. It just doesn't make sense to have strength yet with all this disabling pain. The meds allow me to function but they don't take away the pain. glad I have a place to vent where others know exactly what your talking about. --- On Mon, 8/2/10, Robert Pall <rp...@neillsupply.com> wrote: From: Robert Pall <rp...@neillsupply.com> Subject: RE: [TMIC] pause from the cause To: "john snodgrass" <jcs...@yahoo.com>, "transverse myelitis" <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Date: Monday, August 2, 2010, 4:49 PM Next month it will be 13 years for me....and for every minute of every day while I am awake I am conscious of my discomforts...you just sort of become familiarr with it and really notice it most when there is even a slight change better or worse.

Moments of "no pain" but then you move and shazam! there it is again?
