((((((((((onewish)))))))))) yes, stress does strange things to our bodies. when i hit bottom last april, at first, i felt like i was coming down with something viral. in 2 days, my depression was so severe that i was in pure misery and suffering. i had to go to the e.r. and be admitted into the hospital to get stabilized. i was so sore for a month and a half. my back, neck and shoulders were unbelievably sore as heck. even though it all went away, those places are easily reaggravated when i do something physical. only rest seems to relieve them. if i do more physical stuff, they sure get worse. anyway, my current medication isn't working anymore.
