Hi everyone,

 
I thought that maybe I can find some help on a board that just talks about arthritis.  I don't know where to start, but here goes.  (If it gets to long, just turn me off)
 
I am a 53 year old female and work 32 hours per week. After I had a hysterectomy in 2003, my body just started falling apart.  Before I was at my lowest weight ever in my life and feeling really good about myself.  My husband and I would go bowling, Bow hunting, hiking, gardening, and walk about 2 miles a day, etc.  I think you got the picture.  Afterwards, I started gaining weight, my blood sugar has been unstable(low), my body seems to be fighting back at me since I have developed AS, Osteoarithritis in my knees and feet, Fibro, Reiters Syndrome, and it seems to never stop.  I have gained back almost 100 pounds and I am just miserable.  I need to lose this weight, but I can't walk or exercise anymore because it hurts to bad.  I need water exercise, but I live to far away from any heated pool that would help me.  I am so frustrated and mad at myself for letting things go this far, but it seems like no matter what I try, the weight just seems to stay or get worse.  Of course, there are things that I am eating that I shouldn't, but I have given up losing weight, something that I don't want to give up.  I have tried almost everything on the market to control the pain.  My doctor wants me to try Remicade,  but it seems like the side effects can be really bad and I don't need anymore problems.  I have a wonderful husband that accepts me anyway that I am and supports any decision that I make.  Right now we are low on funds to pay for any diet help and most diets say they work along with exercise (which has been proven by me in the past).  Does anyone have any ideas that will help me through this?
 
Hi Doris,
I don't have any advice---I just wanted to say "welcome". Most of the traffic on this forum is on the Rheumatoid Arthritis page, and even if you don't have RA there are people there you can discuss diet, exercise, remicade, and pain killers there. Good luck and welcome.< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">< name="ProgId" ="Word.">< name="Generator" ="Microsoft Word 11">< name="Originator" ="Microsoft Word 11"><>

Hi friend

You should consult other doctor to discuss your problem. You need not worry. At present there are so many medicine available in market but your doctor can suggest you which is better. I will suggest that you should try levitra .< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">< name="ProgId" ="Word.">< name="Generator" ="Microsoft Word 11">< name="Originator" ="Microsoft Word 11"><> Please consult with your doctor before take this medicine levitra.

There's a "Y" in Mt. Vernon that offers an aquatic program under the auspices of the Arthritis Foundation (thus heated pool) -- from the info i gathered, that's about 20-some miles from you -- Even if you could get in twice a week, it would be better than nothing.

So sorry you are in so much pain Wow, thanks for taking the time to look into that.  I never knew that there was a Y in this area! I'm not sure what you looked up as far as distance, but Mt Vernon is about an hour drive from my house.  I will have to look into the times that I can go.  If there is a class around the time that I get off of work (Mt Vernon is only about 15 mins from my work), then that is a option that I didn't know I had.
 
Thanks again,
Doris

Hello Doris and everyone-
I wanted to let evryone know here that there is a new website solely dedicated to OA and patient education and understanding of the disease including the importance of diet and some recent research, and links to other sites as well.  www.IHaveOsteoarthritis.com There is a wealth of information on the website and I am updating it constantly.  The website is new and I welcome any feedback on how to improve it and what should be added.
