Re: Ignorance of mito around us...

[Guest guest]

I find it funny sometimes when I read posts just after going through

something somewhat similar.

I also find that the ignorance is not only around us, but sometimes within us

as well.

I am ignorant. I am confused. I am trying to make sense of something

intangible and often vague (at least in my case)

Just yesterday I was feeling achy all over and extremely tired. I had gone

Rock & Bowling with the boys and our church youth group on Saturday, and used

muscles that I don't use much anymore. (I didn't do too badly either, if I do

say so myself.) )

I was trying to explain to someone how I feel.

I told them that this is my norm, so I don't pay attention too it that often.

I just get up even when I don't feel like getting up and keep moving when I

have to. I tend to slack off in the evening in the privacy of my own home,

and unfortunately my house reflects that. Oh well.

The only real way I had to give that person some sense of what I feel is

this...

You know when you first wake up and your hands feel " funny " and achy and you

cannot make a fist right away? That is how parts of my arms, legs, hands &

even brain feels most of the time. Not really pain.........just not right.

I find myself rubbing my legs sometimes or squeezing my arms and hands to get

some relief. Sometimes I can get my kids to squeeze my calves and feet if

they are bothering me alot.

Is this how it feels to anyone else, or am I way off base?

I felt like I hit the nail on the head with that example, but maybe that is

just my experience.

Being in Rhode Island, I can understand the snow example.

I find though that my sensation does not always " hurt " , it is more an ache or

strange feeling.

I explain mine more like when you shovel lots of snow for the first time in

a season and then ache all over and don't want to move. I guess that example

wouldn't work for anyone who has no snow around them.

--- For me I would add this to the shoveling....Going out drinking

until you can't see straight. How do you feel the next day. That is

how I feel sometimes without drinking or shoveling.
