I have arthritis but hardly every take painkillers. Only when I have attacks to the spine or when I just can't sleep (like now). I'm actually allowed to take a higher dose than I take, but I rather not get used to not having any pain at all because going back would be too hard. *coughs*<br/><br/>Oh, you mean hypermobility?(Had to google it, sorry)<br/>I have that, too..Blessing combined with arthritis. (not)<br/><br/>Anyway. Going to try if I can sleep again.<br/>Good luck on staying up, Flaming.
