Health Update, or, No Biggie, But Why Is That Lioness Frowning?
For a lot of people, facial expressions have a great deal to do with how they feel -- emotionally. For me, facial expressions have a great deal to do with how I feel physically. Since there's recently been a change in levels of chronic pain I have, it occurs to me that I had better say something about it now, lest people think I'm mad at them, irritated about something, or even bored. (Stoic pain-face comes off as bored to some people.)

A snippet from another post will suffice: The anti-inflammatory medication that worked for me for ten years is no longer my friend, and my doc is having me Carefully Looked At before she tries me on another one, so at the moment I have exactly zero medications standing between me and the full force of the arthritis (and fibro, which it seemed to help with as well). Ergo, ow.

This remains in force until further notice.

(I'll tell you about the sleep clinic stuff later, if and when it becomes significant.)

(I hate being medically interesting that way. I did not succeed at being boring in yesterday's appointment. Gotta try harder next time.)

Anyhow, ow, and therefore facial expressions. Please don't assume they're about you. Thank you.
