September 10 - Pain Level 10+

This is going to be short and to the point.  I hurt something awful. My pain is off the scale.  I hate this disease.  I hate that I had a good time with my son yesterday and now I am in so much pain I can barely move.  Why is it that if we try to live a "normal" life we are wracked by pain so bad that we can't to anything for days afterward?  All I'm asking is to not have to live the life of an invalid.  All I want is  to be able to participate in life and enjoy it and not "pay" for it afterward..
