I can Kyle, chronic pain is the hallmark of what I have. This winter, I've
pushed nearly everyone out of my inner circle over the stupid things they've
said about this. I've put a sign on my front door that says "no visitors."
It's become too hard to cope with visitors and this too. I was never like
this in my whole life. I enjoyed my solitude, but I wasn't a recluse.
