So it turns out it's temporary in the sense it's cyclical, so when my hormones bottom out during and after the end of each cycle, that's when the really severe (spine's the worst, by far) pain hits. So I do feel better now!
But I think I've about had it with my joints (inside left wrist has had tenderness and pain today; my bad foot seems to bother me more and more, which is weird) so I got a bunch of collagen off of Amazon, and some glucosamine and chondroitin, and tumeric pills with the Bioprene black pepper added in because getting old's for the birds these are all said to help with joint pain (the one form of collagen is specifically for that, while the powder's for that and improving skin texture/smoothness/tightness and I'm a bit vain, so yeah).
Considering the worst of the pain is/was cyclical I can assume it will be coming back every month so I just feel like I have to do something.
Re: plastics: I looked up replacement glassware since writing this and there's just no way - even the cheapest crap that will either come already broken and chipped or chip, crack, break or explode in our faces more or less instantly (according to some truly horrific Amazon reviews, some complete with pics) is out of our price range for now. Steel's not of huge interest to me since you can't reheat in it and there's not much of it out there, anyhow.
My main concern in the meantime is how we put still hot or warm foods into plastic containers to store in the fridge, so I'm afraid some plastic leaches. But I don't reheat anything in plastic (I'll literally go hungry first) though OP still does. I've told him just take some of our ceramic ware to work and reheat your lunch on that but he hasn't done so yet.
