I think most of us here take the same approach to things. But as you get older the pains do slow you down and thing take longer to heal.
I am not a whiner, and I hate pills. I am full of pain, but I can ignore it. Arthritis is no joke, but I keep moving, and I stay moving, so I dont feel it. I do have that HPT. Like I said, when my hand was scorched, doctor was shocked to see my body in shock and I was looking at him chill as **** not feeling a thing. Pain may have a game, but I dont give it a name.

I hate bitchers and whiners.

I was not saying you were either. I can't stand those groups either. You have to respect pain and listen to it. I try not to let it control me. There was a time in my life where the headaches were in charge.

I know you werent. And yes, I do know that. I didnt have the pain with the hand explosion, but I listened to the doctor so I wouldnt loose the hand. I was there at one point. It was more emotional pain pertaining to depression.

I need to loose my stubborn gene, I come from a long line of hard heads. My grandfather had 3 strokes before he died.. We dont like doctors, or meds. But we like drinking.

Diabetes will make you change your life. My sugar spiked in Jan due to corizone shots to the knees. Got back to watching what I eat and got active walking again. I dropped right at 30 # since mid Jan. If I not working on the truck I walk 2 miles a day

Herditary, could have been some stuff I was exposed to. Drank like a fish not the healthiest diet but not all junk either. At 30 I stared gain a little weight. Diabetes can hit anybody it not a picky diease.
