My poor boyfriend was hit by an F-350 hauling a trailer while he was in a small tacoma 5 and a half years ago, and he could barely get out of bed this morning because his joints were so sore and painful.

The saddest part is that she was told she wouldn't be able to have kids due to her bones fusing together along with other factors. She's been a 1st grade teacher for 15 years so that's the closest she'll get to motherhood, I suppose. Thank you for your great sense of humor with a not-so-funny condition.

You have a very quirky sense of humor. I like it! I can relate to "the claw" I used to have a claw every morning until I could get my joints loosened up! I was miserable. I usually don't promote products in blog comments, but I would like to suggest to you Vemma Nutritional Supplement. On a scale of 1-10 my pain has gone from an 8 to 1 or 2 since I started taking Vemma. The anti-inflammatory properties in Vemma are amazing. I really didn't expect any relief from my pain, I started taking it for high cholesterol, the pain relief was a huge perk! Read my Blessings of Health and Prosperity Blog for a little more insight. I feel bad even mentioning it, but it really could help you. Til tomorrow...Blessings, CeleneCelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582618575315231828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-30261521575297932642009-04-28T10:33:00.000-04:002009-04-28T10:33:00.000-04:00I hope for your sake that summer arrives quickly a...I hope for your sake that summer arrives quickly and your aches and pains are alleviated! <br /><br />Great post, you're ability to keep your sense of humor through your pain is amazing!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726131745360529065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-61867543859132083902009-04-28T10:03:00.000-04:002009-04-28T10:03:00.000-04:00JANA!
