'Tis the Season!!!
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Tis the season...for sore throats, colds and flus among other things and I am sitting here dealing with my fair share!  I am trying to keep a sense of humor while my throat hurts and my voice escapes and the pressure in my head makes it feel like a time bomb waiting to explode!!  Oh how I wish I could just hide for a couple days but with so much to do and work demands, I can't think of doing so unless I am on death's door.  But I have to say right now it doesn't look too far off!!!! 

Right now I have just finished looking over my calendar and to- do list. I am evaluating items to determine how and where I can make adjustments.  I have made arrangements to have someone come to help me with some last minute cleaning and giftwrapping.  And I have scaled down some of my plans so  I can fit some rest in.  Tonight I am going to go take a nice steamy shower and get my heating pad ready.  I am enjoying some of the holiday shows and they are comforting and relaxing to me.  So in spite of the craziness and the fact I haven't felt well for quite some time, I am finding enjoyment and many blessings to be thankful for.

I am 49 years old female who for the last 2 years has had burning hands, arms and legs. I have been to several doctors and NO ONE can tell me what is wrong. I am in pain all day and night. It fels like someone is poking me with a hot iron all day, if I go up and down the steps or type or even walk back and forth to the bathroom I start burning more.Please any advise
