I've really struggled A LOT today! So much anxiety it's not even funny!!!!! I am so ready for bed and get this day over with! Please pray that tomorrow is better. I have hip problems (birth defect). Today is the first day of my 11 that I've truly had hip pain. Ready to feel better! Going to the beach Thursday... I HAVE to feel better!!

Are you taking anything for the anxiety?  Or the pain?  I've had a lot of anxiety and I had been using the Valerian root, and it was somewhat helpful.  I switched over to 5HTP and found it much, much better.  I was really feeling very agitated and it made a huge difference.

I have a lot of pain in my joints, among other places, and my hips often don't feel great.  I've found a few things that help with my hips in particular:  swimming, the elliptical machine (for some reason walking outside or even on a treadmill seemed to aggravate my hips but the elliptical, though it wasn't always easy doing it, would make my hips feel better the rest of the day,) ibuprofen, lidoderm patchs or a prescription gel, like the Voltaren gel.  My joint pain generally responds to heat better than ice (though lately I've been having trouble with bursitis in both knees and ice seems to work best for that.)

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
