    I haven’t felt this bad in a long time … and it was weird too because it just happened without warning. It’s arthritic disease (yes I’m older, not ancient but old in my late 40s). Everything else is fine, lungs, heart, brain, muscles, gastro, blood … it just suddenly attacked my shoulders now I can barely lift my arms … I can rotate them about 80 percent without problems but when I touch that 20 percent, it’s like someone took a baseball bat to my shoulder. It’s the kind of pain that just makes you feel sick … and it lingers and makes you miserable.

    Talking about it helps and makes me forget it for a while … which is why I should thank you for the distraction.

    Find a nice comfortable chair, bed or position to be in, wear some light clothes, keep the thermostat at a nice temperature and relax. Get up and stretch once in a while and drink lots of liquids. Watch your shows with a headset and stay in your own world for a bit while you recover.

    I hope you are doing better as well.
