Closer expectation though left me mortified I had bought it a roomy two sizes bigger than I needed to stop it irritating me(nice and loose) but the UK size 20 label was enormous and everyone must have seen it in plain sight on my back. Who cares about loosing your senses when everyone thinks your two sizes bigger than you are.<br />Alison http://cupofteaandachat.blogspot.com/Alisonhttp://cupofteaandachat.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-89459866735803661192011-09-14T09:07:49.483-07:002011-09-14T09:07:49.483-07:00I can't say I've worn clothes inside out b...I can't say I've worn clothes inside out beyond my 20s where it related to too much drink lol.<br /><br />But I do wear ear plugs 24/7. I nod at cashiers or people who talk too softly to me, but I can hear anyone who talks in a normal voice just fine. No one ever notices the ear plugs until I pull them or point them out.<br /><br />Interestingly, my aunt also has FM and she's put cotton in her ears for as long as I can remember.Shannonhttp://www.livingwithfibromyalgia.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-26169185682943538972011-09-14T00:09:51.187-07:002011-09-14T00:09:51.187-07:00I've so had this same experience!

I have put fully cooked dinners in the refrigerator instead of on the table to eat. I have put the cream in the cabinet instead of back in the frig when making my coffee. And yes, I also have worn clothes inside out at times. And I have two fur babies that love to try and help my joint pain by acting as purring hot water bottles.deb aka murphthesurfhttp://abcsofra.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-44365593204162824432011-09-06T22:56:47.635-07:002011-09-06T22:56:47.635-07:00One of my little quirks is that I will sneeze if i...One of my little quirks is that I will sneeze if it's time to eat. It's one of my body's little ways of saying, "hey there, I know you're ignoring me, but FEED ME!" >achoo<Tami Stackelhousehttp://www.myrestoredhealth.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-84575254302571272942011-09-06T17:04:19.983-07:002011-09-06T17:04:19.983-07:00Okay, not sure exactly what the previous comment m...Okay, not sure exactly what the previous comment meant...<br /><br />Believe it or not, I HAVE put my underwear on inside out, only to discover it much later in the day and wonder what paramedics would think if I had to dial 911. I also use my heating pad extensively (like ALL day) in the winter, as well as using an Icy Hot roller every single night before bed for the back and hip pain.<br /><br />I get up when I am in pain and sneak downstairs to write in my journal to the flickering light of the television which I mute. I also have been known to stretch in very strange ways in front of my husband, trying to work out the knots in my back and legs.<br /><br />The weirdest thing I do may be using my cat as a heating pad. He weighs in at over 20 pounds and when my abdomen is hurting, I will pick him up and put him on my stomach. He will lie there and purr - he's a great therapy cat.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to hearing what other people do.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Chelle<br />www.lifeonthedomesticfront.blogspot.comChellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483632903669245656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190707857355048493.post-89122725416398725262011-09-06T09:09:26.507-07:002011-09-06T09:09:26.507-07:00Sometimes I wear my clothes inside out on purpose,...Sometimes I wear my clothes inside out on purpose, because then the seams don't rub against me and cause pain.Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153535437781469106noreply@blogger.com
