P is for Pain?

That time of the month and the pain in my upper back accompanies it.  My neck is a little stiff too.  And I've been down with throat inflammation for 2 weeks now.  Saw the GP yesterday, who thinks that my auto-immune condition impacts my immunity too.  My throat inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection that my body seems incapable of fighting and getting rid off.  So I'm on a 7 day course of antibiotics.  Let's see if that works.
