Well, here I am... Mood
Friday, October 30, 2009
Well, I dont know how to figure things out these days, I am sooooo happy because we had our daughter on September 10th, and she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!  Of course, right? However, in the last two weeks my symptoms have gotten way worse and my rheumatiod arthritis is acting up.... Sometimes I have to carry my daughter using my wrists more than my hands because they are tingling so bad and are so painful.  It was so nice when I was pregnant because the way my spine was pulled from the extra weight I guess opened up my spine a bit and I basically had little to no Chiari symptoms, but now they are all back full force.  Yuck.  I am trying to stay focused on my kids and whatnot, but man, I feel like an old lady some days and it seems like nobody really understands what this is all about, my toes, feet, ankles, knees, shoulders wrists, hands and fingers are sooooo sore it is hard to move some mornings.... Ugh.
