@cak11555 Hi Catherine, I know you were writing to someone else but I saw me in you and had to respond. I have fibromyalgia , rheumatoid arthritis, and back and knee and shoulder issues. The pain meds don’t really do me any good anymore. Like tonight, I have just sit and rocked - which seems to help. I also don’t leave the house except for dr’s appts and the occasional trip to the grocery store with my brother. We are technically on the ground floor, but you have to walk a ramp to get to the apt, and boy is it steep! It makes me dread going anywhere. Like you, I am a reader, but sometimes in the midst of the black hole, I can’t concentrate enough to read. So I go to YouTube and find concerts to listen to. Thank God for my brother. We live together and he supports me.
I just had to reply as we sound so much alike. Thank you for taking the time to read this....Karen
