The muscle pains are in recession.
Here in Michigan we are preparing for -40 (it is the same in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius) wind chills .
Sorry to hear you are so ill. I know that feeling and it is worse when you suffer acute asthma like myself. Try keep yourself warm, dont need pneumonia on top of it ae. I also am trying to battle several infections all at once. Keep us updated on how you are ok? Hope for a speedy recovery for you.
Well, I got over the combined infections. I am surprised that I do not yet qualify for the pneumonia vaccine; as I get older, every upper-respiratory infection seems to get worse, and I can almost predict that should I die without human or natural violence, that pneumonia will be on my death certificate.
I am going for vocational rehab. As I find out, I will need to relocate to some other place, likely 60 miles (100 kilometers) farther away just to find work that isn't extremely-repetitive farm or factory work or the sort of retail work in which I am likely to brood. The state wants me off the pittance of unemployment and back in the consumer economy...
Life in rural America can be deathly boring.
