"I have started working harder at my new store since I just recently moved. I help take in deliveries on Wednesdays. Lets just say it's been very painful. I usually don't get too much pain....its like a dull ache but recently my hands, my fingers, my forearms and even my feet have hurt more than I ever remembered. I also cannot chew gum for long periods of time..my jaw feels tired and a little sore.
*sighs* Fibro feels like it comes and goes for me but maybe it never really truly goes.
Does anyone else have issues with chewing gum? It feels so pathetic!"

"I'm getting my tonsils out next Wednesday. I've been having lots of problems with sore throats over the last few months, so I'm rather excited to bid these suckers farewell. I hope this will help solve one of my many health problems--the fewer the better.
Has anyone had their tonsils out this late? I'm 17, so it's going to be harder on me than it probably would have when I was much younger.
<3 a moderately worried girl"
