I'm sore and moaning.

Things I hate about having AS and getting a flare up. In this case it's focussed in my ribs which now only move one centimetre.

• I'm so tired
• I can't sleep enough
• I can't sleep
• It hurts to breathe
• It hurts to walk
• It hurts to laugh, cough or sneeze
• I get tired doing anything
• I am supposed to walk to make it feel better but it hurts too much to start
• I want to be alone
• I want to eat my pain
• I want to be looked after
• I have a short temper
• I am grumpier with Monkey than I want to or have need to be
• I have no patience
• I expect people to be patient with me
• I want to lie in bed and never move - because it hurts to move
• I can't play ball with Monkey
• I can't play with Monkey on the floor
• I can't hug him or cuddle with him for too long
• I am so tender that the usual games fall into the "it hurts" basket
• I feel like crap and can't get out of the down spiral
