About Me
My kids have a 10 year gap, so I'm the grandmother of 4, but my "baby" (he's 6'2") just left home. I now have time for art and gardening, but because of palindromic rheumatioid arthritis I have to give up the things I used to do, and find new ways to use my hands.That's okay, it's a new challenge.

I read your message somewhere about the NB balance and orthotics and thought that's me too. I couldn't walk comfortably without them and my orthotics. Bare foot - ha - not happening again in my life. I was so happy when my orthotic guy said I could put my old orthotics in my new velcro slippers. Coulda kissed him - but I didn't. At any rate Happy Christmas - Duffy

I’m With You
When I first started seeing a rheumy I was frustrated as all get out b/c whatever I had was causing me to relapse with the BP. I did get a dx of FM, and all the research I did on it and RA illnesses helped me understand things from my rheumy's perspective and not be so uptight about things. Besides, I have improved greatly under his care, so what more can I ask?
