Happy Birthday Tami!!!!!!

Really good motivation to get the pass the parcel out!   

Happy birthday, Tami.  Mine is months away, but I've already started saying my upcoming age.

Happy Birthday, Tami .

Mine was 3 days ago... I’ve been trying to not think about my new age though .

Happy Birthday Ksand! (not 24 any more  ) 

Largs and Millport.  Rented some kayaks in which husband almost died.  I couldn't stop laughing. I'm a horrible wife, I've been told.

Thanks .

Definitely not 24 anymore... though I wasn’t 24 when I joined the forum either! I’ve been using 24 in my username for almost 20 years, because it’s my favourite number .

Thank you!

Now that you are in Scotland,  you need to start exploring.  I'm having a great time.

Happy birthday to you all!!

I sneezed and it triggered costochondritis. I can't lift anything without my sternum/ribs being painful. #lifewithEDS

Oh my gawd, this I can relate to.  I don't get pain often, but the rib pain can bite me.  When it happens, I can't lift to do the washing up, my husband constantly makes me laugh which hurts, breathing deeply hurts so I breathe shallowly and feel breathless and don't have any energy to do anything...  it sucks.

If you are desensitized to painkillers, I don't know what you do for it.  In my case, I can still just turn to "buttons" (my term for paracetamol with codeine... my husband and I call them buttons because the first time he gave me one, it was a disc-shaped tablet and I said it looked like a button) when I have this issue.  They take the edge off.  But I only do enough of the washing up to get us through the night's dinner.

My doctor was willing to prescribe full strength cocodamol, so I'm going to give it a try. But I am pissed that they won't fill the muscle relaxer script I had in the US, because it's screwed up muscles/spasms that push my ribs out and make this happen more readily. I'm out of all the meds I came with and it's brutal to have completely unmanaged pain.

For me, it's torsion in my thoracic spine.  I have severe congenital scoliosis.  It's almost stable, but the rib pain tells me that there's very gradual torsion occurring. It causes pressure to build between my ribs and they twist and rub against each other.  Sometimes.  Most of the time I'm 'fine'.
