Interesting question. Let's see, my migraines have been more fragrant, I ended up with a staph infection that kind of freaked me out. Thank God that went away. I now have capital tunnel syndrome in both wrists. That might be due to the increased physical stress of taking over Dads business (at least long enough to fulfill his contracts). He never quit or left anything unfinished so I am doing my best to continue on. Ok sorry I'm rambling but I believe many of my aches and pains are worse than the would be if he wad still with us.

I have had this increase in muscle and nerve pain now for a while.  Extreme fatigue has lessened but still tired, especially with the heat in the summer I can't take it anymore.

My sleep is all messed up -- I can't sleep at all at night unless I take sleeping pills or Benadryl, but I end up napping at odd times and staying asleep for a long time.  I either eat barely anything, or I eat way too much and mostly junk. My body aches, my stomach gets upset, I get headaches, I have absolutely no energy and am extremely fatigued all the time. I walk and in general move very slowly now. Each step is like dragging weights.

Also, my brain doesn't work as it should.  I'm an intelligent person -- I am a published poet, I have a BA and an MFA, I was an immigration paralegal for about ten years.  But now, my intelligence is in remission or something -- I have no focus, I have a really bad short-term memory (well, I always did, but it's worse now), I don't have the ability for critical or creative thinking that I have always had in the past. So both my body and my brain are broken, along with my soul.

I think having physical symptoms of grief is pretty common, yes.  I'm assuming that mine will last the rest of my life, as I know my grief will.

I have numbness and extreme fatigue where I just want to sleep all the time. My muscles ache but the stabbing gnawing pain into stomach is the worst.

Oh yes the wonderful world of misery. I know it all to well.

I have cried a river of tears and I think possibly drained myself of my soul.

My mother was my rock. My father died young and she and I were a team.

I now have no team even though I am married for a long time. He has been distant.

I am hoping for a reunion of sorts but if we cannot reconnect I just don't know what to do. 

I am very alone even though I am married. It just sucks.

My mother and my husband were very close so I guess I am the odd man out.
