    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      Its been 6 months now since being diagnosed with RA. My meds are working pretty good. Not really any pain just stiffness in my knees depending on the day and weather. I am off the prednisone but I had gained back the 30 lbs I lost last fall which I think pisses me off more than having RA (smile). I just wish I wasn't so tired and had more energy to do a regular exercise routine to lose the weight again.

      Treatments

      Methotrexate Working / Worked
      Emu Oil Working / Worked
      Hard to tell if it is the oil that is working but when I use it I feel better. Can't hurt.

      Hannah is a typical 16 year old teenager going on 30. Can't grow up fast enough. She is my middle kid and at times drives me crazy lol. I am a single mom just diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritus and Hannah is my biggest helper and supporter. I wouldn't know what to do without her.

    • Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)

      I have two daughters, one is 17 with Down syndrome and the other is 14 1/2. The 14 year old is the one that is driving me crazy. Whatever I say she says the opposite and of course I am always wrong. LOL. Lord just let me get through her teenage years.
