Hi, I'm a newbie to all this. Just diagnosed 2 weeks ago. Still trying to absorb and figure it all out. Just found this site this past week. I don't know if this is similar to how you're feeling, but my greatest challenge right now is the discomfort in my chest. It feels like a tire that's been pumped up with too much air. My ribs hurt as well --it's like I'm bursting. If I cough or sneeze, so that the ribs and muscles tighten, I can feel all the muscles between the ribs. I think it's because they're always extended from the internal pressure. The sore muscle feeling you get a day after a big workout. I had to give up wearing a bra because I couldn't handle the pain. Not a particularly good look with all the add weight gain! So I'm learning to dress creatively......scarves to camouflage the hanging bowling ball boobs have become my salvation
