I've read somewhere that some stress is good for you, but I don't think that applies to those of us with chronic pain.

I had what would be considered a "good stress" day yesterday at work ... Loved every minute of it, too ... Beginning of Fall Semester, helping all those new (freshmen) students get to where they've got to be on a very large, sprawling campus ... Offering words of encouragement to hang in there and how they'd be pros at navigating the bus system and making their connections in no time.

Got home and my body was like pfft!, so straight to bed I went!

Still feeling a bit stiff and brittle all over this morning, but I'm gonna try to trooper on through.

Do any of you ever feel stiff and brittle all over like that?

When I do, I'm wondering if I'm having a flare.

I'm also concerned that if I tripped and fell down that I might shatter into a bunch of tiny little pieces.

So, I'm gonna be extra careful of my footing so as to not do that!
