How is Everyone Doing? | Arthritis Information

Just wanted to know how everyone is doing?

 
I am doing GREAT!
 
I actually have been doing a lot of cleaning lately. Today I picked stuff up out of the livingroom floor via bending over and my lower back did not spasm!! YAY!! But my legs did shake after a while of bending over. So... I had to sit down and wait from them to stop shaking. Not entirely sure why they do that, but it is not painful, so... I can deal with it.
 
I even vacuumed the floor. I do not know why, but when I vacuum it takes me over 15 mins and sometimes into a half hour. That is non-stop and without resting. I have to vacuum everything up and then I go over it again and again until I feel it is "clean".
 
People hate to be around when I vacuum because I vacuum for so long.
 
I vacuumed on my daughter's b-day party and there were some sitting in the livingroom while I vacuumed and I vacuumed for over 20 mins and when I decided I could not take the spasming in my lower back anymore I stopped even though I was not done. And everyone in the livingroom clapped because I was finally done vacuuming
not great like u, joonie
but im ok
 
knowing i can take my own blood now
that made me happy
 
and writing stories for my blog
takes my mind off some more stressful things
 
im happy, that im not being such a piggy and ive been trying to eat less this week
which has happened so far
 
im discouraged that im not losing weight, but thats probably cuz i dont exercise
im just too lazy, ugh. at least im not gaining...
 
and im anxious sorta, cuz school is closer everday and im not sure i wanna go
BUT i know once it starts it wont be so bad
 
and that's how im doing
Hi Joonie!
Glad to hear you're feeling pretty good...just don't over do it!Not to poorly. A bit of burning in my shoulder area but all in all I would say that is something I can deal with.
 
Wishing you many wonderful days.
I feel better after figuring out my vision issues. I have not been to achy since the weekend and a nasty flare. It's so nice to feel  good.
Glad  you are feeling good too Joonie  take care  of yourself.
Hi Joonie, same sh*t - different day!!!!  LOL  Janie. HI Joonie,
 
I am glad to hear you are doing better.  I'm doing better since I started my pt.  Hope all continues to improve for you...HG
Joonie~ I'm happy to hear you're doing well.  About time, right :)
 
I'm mostly ok.  I have a bad foot, but not due to RA.  I stumbled while going down my stairs and bent my foot in a way it's not supposed to bend.  It's been just over three weeks now and I'm starting to think that maybe I should have gone in for that xray.  Or maybe it's just taking a long time to heal because with work, I can't stay off of it.
Glad you are enjoying wellness!
 
I am and have been feeling in a bad mood. No outstanding circumstances why which irritates me all the more. Do you ever feel like you wish you could get away from yourself?

All too often. I recently told a friend that I really need a vacation: from myself. She asked that I make reservations for two.

MAKE THAT 3. 
 
You're sounding good Joonie.  I don't vacuum any longer than absolutely necessary....be kind to yourself.
 
Am doing pretty good, bursitis in both hips and knee pain.  I finally got an appt. with an orthopedic doctor for next Friday.  We're settled in our little house and very content.  The furkids love having some grass to roll around in.  If cats could smile then they'd be smiling.  Am reconnecting with old friends, doing some art, cooking and being super domesticated. Lindy

We can get a group rate! Now, I merely need to figure out how/where to leave our selves behind while on that retreat... ... ... ...

Wow- and I thought I was the only one that ever feels that way! I guess I'm in good company!]
 
OK and why can't I get the hang of how to quote properly? What are you supposed to do? I click on quote in the post I want to quote and it brings up a window to post in...but it doesn't look nice like everyone elses!
wanttobeRAfree2009-08-13 10:11:18I solved the vaccum problem by not having carpets.. wheeee no more vaccum.
 
I'm still feeling good. Ask me after this weekend. We are going  to my oldest brother's 50th wedding anniversary party  tomorrow.. 250 miles away......THEN when we get home, my In laws will be here  sigh..
 
 I am growing gills ..we have had rain nearly every day this august..  the slugs are just everywhere..
 
 
AND my next door neighbors with who we share a driveway are putting in a new garage and  paving both sides of the driveway. These are lovely people, so I am not complaining, but I am soooooo tired of the huge pile of dirt in our back yard and the torn up state of things..
 
Like I said  they are nice neighbors  and they asked permission and  will replace all our torn up yard and make it actually better than it was.. but...I'm tired.  The kids have been playing on theis HUGE pile of dirt and  I am scrubbing them down  3 times a day. 
 
 The area where the dirt pile is was where our  ancient garage burned down 14 years ago.. and THAT was built where the old barn and chicken coop were 100 years ago. So that was nasty anyway.. Last year they piled a couple tons of  fieldstone there to redo their foundation, and got it cleaned up with no problem..  so by the end of summer we will have actual nice grass there
 
 The only negative is I can not shake this diahrea and vomiting.  I've been having the runs 3 days a week minimum since June 20.  The barfs are not quite as often, but frequent.
 
On the plus side I currently weigh less than I have since  July 13 1978..
 
Yayyy me!!
