I’m getting rather tired of this question, having answered it over a dozen times in the past two days. People are just now noticing that something’s wrong with me because of my crutches. I’m thinking of making cards that say, “I have taken a vow of silence. Please visit my blog at http://ruminarispoonie.wordpress.com.”
The short answer that most people get is “arthritis, chronic tendinitis, and fibromyalgia” but I’m thinking of mixing it up with things from this list. If you have other creative ideas, please leave them as comments below. Or creative responses to “how are you?” or “how are you feeling today?” Those would be graciously accepted as well.

On another note, I’m really not satisfied with my current level of pain management. Halfway through the worship service today, I stepped out to take the max dose of painkillers (tramadol, in case you’re curious). I was then counting down for four hours to pass so that I could take another dose. Three hours after that second dose, I was wishing I could take more painkillers, but I only get two doses a day.
I’m also not satisfied with how they bring pain from, oh, say a 7 or 8 to a 5 or 6. I’d really like it to come down to a 3 or less… is that asking too much?(Originally posted on another of my blogs: http://ruminarispoonie.wordpress.com)
