MDJunction to me

"MD junction is a place for us to share our experiences both good and bad it is a safe haven from the ignorant and the doubters a place to vent ask advice or just get away from it all.
I am shell I am a parent with aspergers syndrome.
Four of my six children are autistic also.
I hope to give an insight from an autistic view." (spectrummum)

 Thanks everyone for responding to my curious question!! I wanted to see if there could be any type of connection. I'm right handed and thought that since my right side was used more was why it hurt worse than the other. Seems like that isn't the case. Many of you have pain on both or on the opposite of your most used side. Still just curious and looking for a connection, there's alot of members here will see how it turns out!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!

 Depends on which day you ask...but my pain is worse where I have injuries and arthritis has set in -- left foot/ankle, and right knee.

For some reason my pain is mainly from the mid-back down, at least this month. I am right handed, but I think my left side is slightly worse pain and stiffness wise. Hmmmmmm....

thanks for the question Hampton, I had never thought about this!

 Normally when I get floaters it means that a migraine is coming on.

 The floaters only bother me when my heart rate is up really high.

 Both of my feet equally hurt, my arms hurt the same, legs hurt the same, hips the same, Pretty much I think both sides of my body are at their worst right now. Maybe I am as bad as I am going to get..lol because I really don't have much more that can hurt than what already hurts! I guess that is a positive way to look at this!


THIS is not all in my head, and NO I am not crazy!
the bra seems to be my mortal enemy, a weird 19th century torture device most obviously designed by a man!
