    ok need advice again, is the pain in the shoulders, elbows, right hip and arms normal, it feels like i have bashed myself but havent and hurts to lay down - hence why i am siting up at 11.30 at night! i do feel bruised but have no bruising, have had no bumps but its weird and painful, not painful enough that i need tablets or a doctor but painful enough that typing is hard - so short one tonight

    also to all, stay strong…
