And I'm in agony! Oh my God, this dampness is making me hurt so bad. So depressing too!!!! It puts me in such a bad mood, and I don't think my husband understands. My mother in law told me tonite that I should just take a pill. If only I had that magic pill!!!!!

What pain killers do you got at your disposal?

Last week we had some rain here. I ended up with my knee aching like it never has before and with a crazy muscle spasm in it! I get spasms all the time but usually when I put my hand on it, it stops. This one wouldn't.

Even after the weather cleared it was not going away. I bought some Voltaren gel on the advice of my pharmacist. I rubbed that on a couple times a day for a couple days and felt much better.

I realize that isn't going to work very well for widespread pain. But it is very efficient for localized pain and it starts working right away.

Its raining in Michigan - I feel like I've been run over by truck. I have allydonia times 10 today. I don't think getting dressed is an option today. Maybe after I get my fistful of morning meds down the hatch things will improve.... Take care.

I live Northwest of Chicago and my pain in the past few days is awful. Especially the bottoms of my feet. Dress in layers as warmly as possible. I have these undergarments from catalogs that are thin and keep my skin warm, even under a skirt. Legwarmers help too. Not cheap but very helpful. The humidity around here knocks me whether it is warm or cold.

Rain in the forecast!!!! Body feeling pain, up in the clouds, head is feeling foggy.

As for the mother in-law, I tell her go take a walk on the wild side..... what pity she needs to chill.

:) I hope for you she doesn't live with you!
