About Me
I'm 40- the mom of a terrific little boy and a military wife. I have CD- but am a freak in this world, as it causes constipation for me- not frequency! I get the lvoely arthritis before I feel the gut start kicking up...I work in the health care field part time and love my job (most days).

good to hear from you! Sorry to hear that things are still a little rocky. I know what you mean about the pills; I thinking about dropping a few supplements because some of them I can not remember why I started taking them! I hate my Saturday night ritual of filling the pill case for the week. I tried statins and they made my joint and muscle pain worse! I refuse to take them again. Doc would like me to take Zetia but it is expensive; my co-pay would be 30 bucks a month! I've read some stuff about it lately that it is not as effective as once thought. I hope the Humira works for you and you can have less pills. The toe injury is one year old; can you believe it? It healed up fine but it really wasn't until April that I could take a decent walk without pain.
I am no longer working as a trainer. I just had enough of trying to be everyone's fitness go-to girl. I feel much better now that I'm continuing to focus on me and my health. Weight is my constant struggle so I'm right there with you. I just got the Reebok Easytone shoes. They are fabulous! Have you heard of them? They have an unstable sole that is to challenge your balance a little and tone your butt & legs while you walk. I'll try anything :)
How's the little guy and big guy; will he be coming home soon?
Have an awesome day! -

I'm glad to hear that the humira seems to be OK for you. I'm doing a little better. My cholesterol is being a PITA. I asked my doc for one more chance to eat right and lose weight to try and avoid yet another med, sigh. I go back in Feb; wish me luck!

UR Welcome
Well that's just crazy about your doc's back! Sorry to hear that the Crohn's is back to say hello. I hope you get back onto remission soon. I'm doing OK, July was awesome! I solid BM every am, no issues with any type of aches, I was eating a VERY clean diet and I lost 8 pounds....then came August. Went on a little retreat weekend then I was sick for about a week, stopped using my BiPAP because I was so congested, started eating a bunch of crappy food again. Sept wasn't too much better. I feel pretty good but I gained the weight back and I feel sluggish. So, once again, I'm going to watch what I eat and see if I can't keep in under control this time and get that July feeling back :)
