A friend of mine asked me what the pain was really like. I said I could show her better than describe it to her and she said fine go ahead and that she had a high pain threshold. After I gave her a Chinese burn on her wrist and she stopped whimpering she said that she now understood how I felt. She backed off when I said that I was going to do it again in all the other main parts of her body.For those who don't know what a Chinese burn is, it where you grab the 'victim's' forearm or wrist in two hands, and twist the skin in opposite directions, a bit like wringing out a wet dishcloth!
London was beautiful in the winter sunshine. I walked along the Thames past the London Eye with the sun in my face, which was wonderful. I watched all the tourist taking photo's and soaking up the atmosphere. I guess when you see something all the time you take it all for granted. The London Eyes was stunning back washed by a beautiful blue sky. It really is a fantastic piece of engineering.
Thanks to both of the wonderful Vicki's, they are so kind and giving.
I wish there was some wisdom I could pass your way. They don't know enough about the disease... and they should throw more money at figuring it out. Too many people are afflicted with it. I have tried to research it on a number of occasions. My mom has had it for years - long before they figured out it even existed. I would think the homeopathic community would have found a way to treat it. Wishful thinking! Some say certain foods trigger it, but it all seems to be speculation.
ReplyDeleteI hope this bout passes quickly for you.
