Here’s hoping! | Arthritis Information

Okay! I think this might be it! This is day two of nasty icky weather, mixed with bouts of sunshine and humitidy. It's a low pressure system(left overs of that hurricane) which always throws me off RA wise.

BUT. My hands are normal......my elbows are normal.....my knees are normal....I haven't taken my flexeril in almost a week now..... I'm sleeping about 7 hours a night and I am good to go for at least 16 hours out of the day!

The bags under my eyes are gone, my demanor is happy happy happy (with typical other emotions, but I'm not freaking out for no reason anymore)

I've been here at work, since 2:30. It's almost 6pm now, and I have yet to sit down. I don't even feel like I need to sit down. McFatty is already sitting, but he's just dumb and a big fake baby.

I'm almost afraid to say it.....but I'm pretty confident so here goes...

I THINK THIS IS REMISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I jumping the gun here??? This is UNHEARD OF for me! I haven't felt this good, for this long ESPECIALLY during a storm since um....like...November of last year!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!

Ok that is all I gotta say as my arm is KILLING ME!

If I remember correctly, that's all considered part of remission!!!

Yes ma'am [QUOTE=arriscolwell]

I don't have morning stiffness, my fatigue has GREATLY improved, and I haven't had any swelling (aside from hurting my stupid hand on monday) in about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks.

If I remember correctly, that's all considered part of remission!!!

Well of course you're in remission. You've been passing off all your sicknesses on to us!!!

*sneezes on this post as well*

There, have some more.....

Katie, I'm glad you are feel so good!!!

Yay, Katiekins, glad you are feeling so good girl.

I sure hope it is a REMISSION someone needs to have one here, just to keep the faith that it is actually possible.

You go girl, you.

Well I'm a selfless person.........so I will gladly make the scrafice to be the one to hit remission. I can be a poster child, I don't mind.

*waits to be pelted with tomatos and rotten fruit*

How 'bout some SNOT

It is so good to hear you sounding like our happy girl again!!!

Hope you continue to feel great!

Hugs, Nini

Thank you Nini!! And everyone else! :) It's almost a strange feeling. At first I didn't even realize it. I was just going going going all the time, and then I realized that it wasn't hurting me. And now I'm excited!!!

Katie -

My Mom swears that Flexeril made her soooo much worse. She lives in fear the doc will try to prescribe it again.

Pip

Awesome news Katie!

Here's to many more good days...

WOOHOO KATYDID!!!!

ally - I'm not on anything right now. I know, it's crazy. I'm not gonna question it!!!!

Katie....still feeling great today?? Hope so

Kathy

YAY for Katie...Now you better not run off and leave us behind now...I have your phone number I can track you down somehow. If you even think about leaving I'll kick you in the shins to make you stay...

oh and I second what kathy said about the not worrying if others are jealous......

I'm extra happy today, as I realized that my birthday is in less than a month, and so that means I get my tattoo in less than a month, AND I get to apply for a PEL Grant to go back to school!!!

WHOOPIE!!!!

Now i jealous! i want a tattoo.... sigh....

OMG did i just do what I think I did Katie?????

And I have to honestly say that as much as I want remission for myself, I think anyone who has had to deal with the utter unfairness of JRA does deserve it first!

Best of luck to you!
