Hanging out with the grandson
My health was tested yesterday. My daughter started school and I spent my first day with my grandson. He had a doctors appointment. I got him ready to go and left him in the living room while I got my sweat shirt. When I came back what I saw made me want to cry. He had opened his cherry limeade...

Holding my breath
Our doctor spoke at our support group meeting last night. When I got home I started to think about how I'm really doing. I always take each day as it comes and I decided that maybe I should take a look at the bigger picture. I realized that over all I have improved in the last year. I'm not...

What I used to do.
My daughter and I went to a cavy show today. I had a hard time getting out of bed to go. When I got going I was looking forward to it. Then I got there and started running out of energy. It was fun to see my old friends and look at all the cute cavy's. I would love to show again. But not having a...

Facebook
My latest project is to set up a facebook page for arthritis sufferers. It seemed to be such an easy project when I started and then I realized that it really isn't.

A daughters pain

Now what?
Every day I fight my pain. It becomes a way of life and sometimes I forget what it was like just a few years ago when I didn't know what was happening to me or what to do about it. Then someone wrote to our support group describing her condition and how she felt. I think everyone of us replayed our...

Always something
For now anyway I seem to have a regiment for my pain meds that keeps me comfortable enough. Now an old issue is coming back. For years off and on I have suffered from restless leg syndrome. I have never been diagnosed but my father had it and my older sister is currently being treated for it. Lately...

It all hurts
Each day I live with pain. If one joint feels better, three more start to hurt. My doctor is so good but I'm not calling him even for help because I'm embarrassed that I'm on the phone every week. Nights are the worst, I am going to try to write then, since I cant sleep.

Painful night
I am having a bad night. I am trying to slow down my med. intake but find myself feeling miserable. I am going to take enough to make myself comfortable and go to sleep. I know that I will run out of my meds too soon and will feel terrible for a few days though.
