What Do Pain And Swelling In The Joints Indicate?

this is what she has posted tonight It s after midnight, can t sleep. I did to much this week and I m in pain. Terrible swelling, joints, random places on my head, middle of my arm, ankles, and for the first time the left side of my nose. It s got one of the weird lumps. My left thumb... most all of my problems are on the left side..... lol. I m so unique. But i think I have mini strokes. My heart is racing, I cry. But it s alwYs5so late at night. If I make a doctor appointment, I never look the way I feel now. I wish someone could see. No one understsnds. I feel alone, nervous, scared. I have no reason to feel this way. It s all imaginary or something. I m safe, happy, loved. I m not even sure if I should post this. It s just the throbbing pain emeinating from everywhere. I am feeling manic.
