This blog is brought to you from the comfort of my new chair! YAY!

I love this recliner, and I'm very optimistic that it's going to help ease some of my terrible daily discomfort. It's the nicest piece of furniture I've ever owned, and I feel quite blessed at the moment looking around me seeing "my life", the way it is now. Yeah, I deal with a lot of pain, but the rest of my life is fantastic. :-)

...However I do believe I will be requiring one of these chairs in every room of the house. hehe Now that the weather has been getting really cold, (snow even,) this built in heat feature is going to come in quite handy dandy for me.

Symptoms and Pain Levels (1-10 being the worst)

  • head, neck, upper back and shoulders Pain level 4
  • lower back, butt, hips (shooting pains down my left leg and in my left butt cheek) Pain level 6
  • knees, ankles and feet pain level 3
  • Arms, wrists and hands pain level 5
  • face and chest (the anxiety has been better) pain level 1
  • IBS and horrible cramps earlier directly after I ate nachos, and then my stomach exploded. It was extremely unpleasant. Thank God I was home! I hate when things like that happen and I'm at a restaurant or at someone's house. 
  • less frequent urination but still issues emptying and urgency
  • RLS as usual, but sitting in this comfy chair helps a lot. I bet I could doze off in this thing... I probably would feel like poo in the morning, but it's a very comfortable chair.
