My athritis is kicking in - my wrists and hands hurt real bad, so do my knees, and my lower back, and I have this strange pain in my foot, it feels like I stepped on a tack and it's stuck in it but it's not that. I have been having tea with a ton of sugar and milk all day. I told a bunch of hormonal teenagers about my teenage years at work while eating cookies then complaining about my ulcer. I am losing my hair, and found a white hair on top my head. I am listening to old music and watching old episodes of this typical French grandma show for fun. Right now I'm wearing loose grey pajama pants with a comfy blue cardigan.. the only young touch about my outfit is my bright purple t-shirt that's got bleach stains all over it. Oh and my teeth hurt. And I have wrinkles on the side of my eyes and mouth when I smile - well that's normal but, they stay on for a few minutes after I smiled.
I met a boy last night and I feel bad. He bought me a drink and drove me home, gave me a hug and asked for my number. But I have no intentions towards him.
Hopefully, he's young. He'll learn. What's really sad is seeing guys 40 and up who still haven't learned not to buy women drinks.
Ha well, it happens.. I've been bought drinks many many times and given numbers I washed with my jeans Oh I found this fun one in my wallet the other day, some guy's number on the back of his work card.. a credit card company.. and a note that said: "if you ever want an older boyfriend" haha.. Aww I'm mean. But hell no why should I force myself to like a guy just cause he paid my bar tab
Well it's okay you guys.. I'm 7 years younger than you and 15 younger than YankNBurn and share your athritis so you guys can feel younger!
I was devastated last month when I found out that some of my aches and pains were due to arthritis. I thought I was way too young to be dealing with that crap already! Thankfully though my labwork came back negative for rheumatoid arthritis...it runs my family and due to some of my symptoms, my doctor was concerned that it could be a possibility. I seem to be affected more on my left side than my right. I'm not sure why this is, although when I had my TIA's (mini strokes) after I gave birth to the twins, I was diagnosed with some left sided weakness as an after effect...however I don't know if that would have anything to do with it at all. Anyway, I know how you feel. Some days I ache pretty bad in some of my joints, and I get so frustrated, worried how I'm going to feel 10 years from now. It makes you feel old!
Wow! I AM a grandma and I don't feel as bad as you younguns! In fact, I feel pretty good. Guess I'm lucky.
yep athritis runs on my dad's side.. hhhha it will be bad when I'm old, but hopefully by then, there will be effective solutions other than getting new joints! I remember how much my grandma suffered and suffered til she died, and couldn't walk without canes for the last 15 years of her life, cause she was afraid of the surgery.. of the hips.. it is pretty heavy. Actually my mom is starting to get the same thing, but thankfully she said she'd get the surgery if need be rather than end-up like my grandmother. I seem to be more like my dad though. Well haha.. either way..
Wait till your 19 and told you wont walk at 25, its a real wall smasher for ya. I am happy to have reached 39 and still walking but wow is it letting me know now. A good massage is nice for them joints, look for nakedtreehugger for a good rub down, hmm maybe I need that too Rubbing them joints forces blood through them and it feels alot better after the fact. Burns like a hot rod ramming into the joint to start with but worth it.
