thanks for sharing that link

I have heard many descriptors of pain of fibromyalgia such as being hit by a

Mack truck, but what I have used is I feel like someone took a baseball bat and

hit me all over but the bruises don't show,

I have a permanent case of the flu. I have always wanted to do a short book

(humor) of pain descriptions people have said, a long term goal. Anyone have

any descriptors of their pain I can add?

This short book and one on the colloquilisms people use is another thing I would

like to do. Ones for summer I remember, Hot as a cat on a tin roof, It's so hot

you could fry an egg on the

sidewalk, Hot as Hades, etc. Then there were the ones for cold, Colder than a

welldigger in the Klondike. In driving, My Mother would say after someone cut

her off, " Go ahead, Hell's not half full " . When I would leave, " Don't let the

door hit you on the way out " . Anyone have others to add? I have finally started

a file on this and will start typing it in.

I did this when I had answered Steve to work on some goals and realized I just

thought about this and never started it and I would appreciate any input from

the group. Bennie
