The Princess and the Pea

Have you ever felt like you were the Princess in the old children's story The Princess And The Pea?  Apparently, they put a pea under a huge pile of peas and she had to climb up and lay on the top and if she felt the pea, it meant she truly was a princess.

I MUST BE A PRINCESS!  haha!  I can feel the tiniest creases in my sheets.  I wear my socks inside out as a general rule to keep the seam from hurting my toes!  When I wear long johns, I wear them inside out also!

Just another way to balance the pain and discomfort. 

I wear the tops of socks on my wrists because that was the first place the RSD hit me.  I have found that if I keep an extra layer on my wrists, almost year round, they don't hurt nearly as much or sometimes not at all.  But if I just wear two or even three shirts or sweaters I still have that bone chilling coldness in my wrists. They hurt, sting, ache, feel cold to the bone.  An extra layer just on that most sensitive area helps tremendously!  Try it sometime! I sometimes have to wear my sock tops only on my ankles also because the same thing can happen to them in extreme cold.  Has to have an extra layer right in that area!  Weird, I know.  Aren't we so very strange anyway?
