I type to much. | Arthritis Information

I "talk" too much. That is the reason i got in trouble in school from kidnergarden to the 4th grade...lol. I still talk way too much. Even if it is just typing....lol.

I really do not have much to say or can really relate to most of ya'll problems. But I try to relate. I have a bad memory...so I cannot really remember most of my RA symptoms or problems from way back when. I can only talk about what I am going thru now. Unless you strick a memory with what you say, then I can relate.

I guess I am just good for rambling and babbling...lol.

But its such entertaining blambling :-)

Could never get bored around you, I'm sure.

Oh but you can get tired of listening to me...lol. Hubby does. Tells me to shut up quite a bit...lol. Yes, I think we are all guilty of talking to much sometimes. I am a fast typer, so if I ever get carried away, just let me know. ;)I can type 34 wpm when my fingers are not stiff, which is hardly ever...lol. Good 'ol RA!!

Rooster claw here, just pecks now. LOL

hey, but grateful I can do that, I am!

Yep, yep! I mostly just peck too. Especially when my right hand is stiff and my fingers will not bend. I tend to get stiff at night at about 6pm and fully stiff by 10pm. But cannot take pred until 1am...lol. Other wise it wears off sooner. I take pred at 1am so I will not be as stiff in the morning because that is when I have to tend to andrew by myself, until 3:47pm when hubby gets home. Yes, it is pitiful that I have a set time that hubby should walk thru the door...lol. But he is home usually before that if he is not home by 3:47pm and he has not called me I get worried. He is a bad driver...lol.

Hulagirl we are a bunch-a peckers...LMAO!!

I need to go to bed. I just cannot stop refreshing the page to see more replies...lol. I am in a "talkative" mood.

I love rambling emails.....it's like getting to know you better.

Keep on rambling and I will keep on reading. Though I seem to have developed typing dyslexia since I had problems with my hands. I don't think my hands can keep up with my rambling thoughts. Spend more time correcting posts than typing them.

The pool is 3-5 ft deep. The therapist stays right next to you, entire time. Got the side to hang on to, if need.

Next morning when I awoke, felt like each and every joint was on fire! Not as bad this morning. Was worth it though. Looking forward to Tuesday. I felt almost "normal" while in the pool. Wish could just live there.

The power chair that lifts you in and out is fun, too. Like a kiddy ride. :-)

Yay! Sounds like fun, I like water rides!!!

Cristene, yes my RA accelerated very quickly, but probably due to my waiting way too late before seeking medical treatment. I was in denial. Kept thinking it would go away. Tried herbal/natural remedies. Nothing helped (for me). By the time it worsened even more, I had lost my med insurance. I suspect my joint damage would be less, had I gone to Dr. earlier. That is why I say to any lurkers. Don't do what I did. Go,Go,Go to Dr. and Go Now.

Thanks hulagirl. I hope the hydrotherapy helps. Like Roxy, I'm sorry your condition is so bad. I will take your advice!

Thanks Cristene.

Thinking I should post my "DON'T DO WHAT I DID, GO NOW" advice more often, to catch more viewers "eyes" on this board. Course, then I see those w/no money or insurance or lousy Dr. who can't dx. Very upsetting to me. I commend those who are persistant. It is so important to get on the meds to slow it down, early. I often wonder if I had found this board earlier, I would not be so bad. Oh well. Shoulda, woulda, coulda......can't think that or will drive me nutz. Or as Joonie would say "more nutz" :-)

Yeah Hulagirl! You have a fightin' spirit! You are a fighter! And we are so blessed to have you as a member of this forum.

Looks like your internet is working good again..lol.

Thanks Joonie.

Yeah, my wireless connection not dropping YET, today. I kept tweaking settings and rebooting over the weekend. Something I did worked. Although have no idea which tweak it was. *doh*

Good to hear Hulagirl!

back to tweaking
