26. Not a whine...

You're not whining, not at all. I know how you feel. At one time, not too long ago, I had pain that just kept getting worse with nothing helping until I had an operation. Then I felt like I had arthritis or a bad flu all the time...aches, pains, general feeling of illness, fuzzy brain, head ache etc. I ended up with something completely new and horrible as well as painful. That's when I found out I was intolerant to gluten and casine. After learning how to live and eat without these ingredients my symptoms improved..I could hardly believe it. Now I have very low grade pain compared to what I had for years. Have you tried eliminating gluten from your diet for a couple of weeks? I know there is a lot of talk about it being a fad but I'm here to tell you it's real.

I hope you find some relief soon.
