woooooooooooooooooooooooooow.....
Sorry for taking so long to respond - i wanted to wait for a bunch of responses.

Everything that all of you are explaining is EXACTLY how I feel - the feeling like your going through a bad flu all the time, the feeling of being beat up - it almost feels like someone beat me with a phone book(sorry to be graphic) and im achy all over. Not to mention the pressure of a bra or other restrictive clothing hurting - even a tight sock sometimes hurts.

Well, I guess thats kind of validating. Now if i could find a way to get my poor GI system to settle down I would be alot better off.
