Sorry that you have a chronic pain condition that influences all of your life. Though in many way I am not, in one way in particular, I am blessed. I'm as healthy as an ox. Both of my children are not, they take after my wife who was beset with health issues her entire shortened life.
But I am boringly healthy. Despite the fact my BMI is over 30, my blood pressure is 122/77 and my cholesterol is 150. My genetics are apparently awesome. My poor wife who was always slim to skinny, had cholesterol numbers in the 300s no matter what she ate.
Ach, I'm rambling. I'm as stoned as a Biblical apostate, in case you hadn't noticed. I become much more serious when I'm tripping. Please forgive my atypical verbosity.
