Just regular old fibromyalgia!
which sucks I can't even lift my bass or draw a picture or clean my room.
,but here's a video of Rocko my pet opossum.
He does this to people espcially my friend, Sarah. I don't know what it's purpose is.

He is cute. Little fingers.

It looks like he's wearing fingerless bum gloves.

I thought the very same thing.

i love him!

[evitalerue]

He's very affectionate although his sisters were pretty eager to be wild animals he seems to be very content being a pet. He's very cuddly.

Yay I'm glad you don't have lupis, but sorry to hear you have fibromyalgia :(

Hahah you have an OPOSSUM as a pet!? I thought you had giant lizards!?

I'm always amused about these pets, as it's illegal to keep such exotic pets in Australia :(

yea I have lizards called chuckwallas which aren't so giant, but I think they look giant in pictures. They are indigenous to western deserts and are illegal to catch and own in California, but I purchased mine from a wildlife expert in Nevada. Only people that have a lot of previous knowledge about them should own them.

I just looked up the possum thing cause I didn;t know if it was illegal or not, but I guess it is legal to keep an indigenous wild animal as a pet. Here they get hit by cars all the time and are usually considered a pest. Most people are scarred of them or think they are ugly. The babies usually when there is no one to care for them after the mom gets hit. I saved and bottle fed him and his two sisters after their mom was hit by a car. He was only 4 inches long when I first got him.

I want to see more pictures of your lizards please! So did you have to learn heaps about them in order to keep them? Did you have to pass the chuckwalla test?

Ahhh ok I didn't realise that Opossums are indigenous there. We have possums here too but people don't really keep them as pets because they can scratch people badly.

awww he seems so sweet! maybe he's rubbing his scent on you, the way cats do. :o i'm really amazed he's so affectionate, can they be "tamed" enough to be good pets? or is it a case-by-case thing, like how you said his siblings aren't as friendly? and yuck at fibromyalgia :( is there any kind of treatment to make it more tolerable? i hope most other things are going well for you dear.
