Holy cow. For some reason, I aged 20 years today. [View all]

Severe bone pain in just about every part of my body. Sudden onset.

I've been fairly physical lately, but nothing that would cause this.

Severe pain, like morphine craving pain. Can barely walk, can't even bend down to pet the dog.

I have a ton of opiates here, but I'm not going to take any. They constipate me...I'd rather bear the pain.

I can't tell you how bad this fucking sucks. Wait a minute, yes I can tell you! That's why I'm posting it!
