- Go to Okay! My Physical Body is Very Deceiving. But, Am I Really to Blame?
Okay, DeeDee, I will check it out.
Thanks for the info. Grave's Disease, huh? Well, on a serious note, too, I have a rare autoimmune blood disease called Polycythemia. I'm aware of the symptoms of autoimmune problems, but I think much of this stuff in this post (actually, it's all in good humor but true) is from everyday AGING!! It sucks! I hang on to the fact that I still get carded buying alcohol at age 34!!

Oh, I know, Jems! I know!!
Long hair has it's faults, doesn't it? Ever roll your car window up in the wind??? I hate that! I have one hair that grows right out of my chin that I always have to pluck out and I must keep an eye out for it cause when it grows back, it seems to grow REALLY fast. Sheesh. What we women go through on a daily basis. Men would never understand.

Fibromyalgia
I second Hollee's comment. I have fibromyalgia and I suffer all those same symptoms. I also have another autoimmune disorder (Grave's disease). Prematurely gray hair can be a sign of autoimmune problems, too. I'd check this out with a doctor -- seriously.

You think you've got it bad . . .
TWICE in my life I have found a single hair on my back (right around the hip bone) that is longer than long! You know how sometimes we girls with long hair can get it stuck in our clothing and have it tickle us or make us itch? Well, that's how I found these two hairs (granted, they were found years and years apart). I'd feel the tickle, reach into my shirt to find the offending hair, grab it, and pull it out only to feel the pain of a hair being pulled out of one's skin, root and all!
Both times the hairs were at least 5 inches long! Luckily, though, they were very thin and very light in color, so I don't believe anyone noticed them before I found them.

Oooh, yikes, PoopyQ,
I must admit, though, mine crack on the way down too, sometimes. Man, those damn aliens, huh?

Hollee, no, I haven't, but I don't think the aliens would disclose such
information to me. Human doctors have told me I will never get pregnant, too, and I got pregnant in 2000. I miscarried, but still, the miscarriage was due to a whole 'nuther can of worms!
