How is everyone? | Arthritis Information

 

So.... how is everyone? How's the ol' RA? PA? Fibro? Anything new a'happenin'?

one word....SUNBURNT   yea but other then that im doin alright.  I am starting my week of not having Kelsay .  She comes home saturday night and my BIL comes into town on Friday for 2 weeks...well really 10 days cause he is flying out Monday till Wednesday to VA to see his gf but then hes back out here till the 28th.  So its going to be a hetic next 3 weeks.  OHH my husband is now a racecar driver

I am doing ok... had a productive doctor appt today. Got me some meds that might help with my neck problems. and got a much needed referral. Soo... today was A-O-K  minus the needle incident.

OTOH my eyes feel awful. I'm slowly getting the hang of eye drops. ( I go into  my bathroom,  and turn off the lights so I'm in pitch darkness.)

I have a dentist appt this afternoon..fun wow.

Still charged up after the zoo visit.

doing ok.  waiting to start enbrel 25mg x 2.

Well, I hate to always complain but I am still feeling crappy.  This humidity has my hands and feet swollen even more than usual.  However, I am getting massage therapy twice a week and it feels so good.  I still cant turn my neck more than about a quarter of the way and have no energy.   hurt all the time and seriously am going to have to consider disability.  I am hoping to actually get a new rx Thursday for either adderall or provigical, the doctor was too busy to have the scripts ready for today.

I go to the U of M July 25 and hoping they can come up with something else.  I am also going to ask to be started on AP therapy.  I will continue the humira and prednisone until it starts to work though.  Its been over 3 years, I need some relief.

Yeah, I wish I could feel better too. I think I am depressed, not sure. Or starting to get depressed? But with all this non-stop pain and rain I would guess I should feel like life sucks, which it does.

I am doing ok.  Small weather flare today. Have to run to the store since Danny can't drive then I will be done for the day.  Knee will throb after driving.  YAY!!!! 

Yep Joonie...you could be in a depressive mood with al the non stop pain and such. 

I'm doing alright.  Saw the rheumy on Friday and he agreed with me that we should up the Imuran and lower the pred and see if this stuff is working.  So I'm on Imuran twice a day now, and 2 mg pred going down to 1 mg in a week or two.  But I'm still all swollen.  I'm wearing sandals and you can see the "cuts" where the straps press in...not enough to be painful, just annoying.  My hands however are pretty yucky.

Since on the pred, I've had a lot more energy and less pain (and my nails are finally growing!), but then again I'm still on the Vicodin every 6 hrs and I feel it when it's time for my next dose.  I'd really like to get off this stuff, or at least just use it for breakthroughs.

It's been over a year since my symptoms started and I still don't have it under control.  Makes me pretty nervous.

Anyway, the good/new stuff is that hubby and I are working on getting our new condo fixed up to move into in mid-August.  It's a lot of work (and stressful when hubby and I are arguing over all the little decisions and costs), but it's also very satisfying for me as this is the first time I've owned a place.

And yesterday we celebrated our first wedding anniversary!

Congrats on the Anniversary!!!!And the new condo!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Wooohooo on the condo!!!!

Happy Anniversary & condo

Thanks!!  Some good things have to balance out the bad...

Just hope I'm physically up to all we're doing on the condo, and then the packing (hubby will do most) and the moving.  And the stress!  But I keep picturing it when it's all done and I'm sitting in my new home and I'm happy.

Awww!  Happy 1st anniversary, and congrats on the condo.

I am a newbie, but I am feelin' pretty tired and hurting pretty bad today.  I helped my husband clean a room we have been putting off for a year or so.  I should have just stopped at the two hour mark, 'cause I could feel it in my lower back, hands and feet.  Well, today I am totally exhausted, and just want to feel relief.  I look forward to a time that I can be my OD self and have my house totally clean and make meals, teach, and be there for my husband.  I am frustrated and feeling alone.  I guess I have joined you Joonie in the Blues!

Congratulations on the Condo and Anniversary!! 

 

Awwww... Shelly, I am sorry. I wish none of us had this horrid disease, but at least we know we are not alone and they do not ship us out to a deserted island because of what we have.

Welcome to the board, BTW! I think I missed your other 6 posts somewhere, or I did read them and forgot. I am good about doing that.

Oh... oh... oh... we need a name for this island!

Well I had been doing really well  - I actually lost count of how many good days in a row. Tuesday night the fun started up again big time. I hurt all over joints are stiff and swollen.Temperment is washing back and forth between tears and anger.

You know what started the ache back up - the damn weather. We just are starting the monsoon season in the Phx.

Will your flare go on through the entire season?  How long is that?  I'm really sorry to read about your pain.  At least if it were in only one joint you could move without pain, but to have to have your whole body slammed at once, well, I know you'll get through it, but it sure stinks that you have to.

You are hereby by invited to our island, we are accepting ideas for a name for it.  Yeah, cuz no one's gonna "send" us, we're just gonna go.

Im sure Joonies husband would be happy to send her  and i can get mine to send me too

Yeah, I really said something that ridiculous.

LMAO you have keept me laughing today lemmie tell you that
