      My K-2 Sunday School class, social networking, watching movies and certain TV shows with my husband and family (grandbabies, too). I used to play the violin but with carpal tunnel and RA, I am now unable. So, I listen and share what I know with others.

    Give PJamela a hug



    • Thanks

      From singingirl November 9

      Thanks for the hug. I had a major episode in the doctors office 1 1/2 weeks ago while I was getting my trigger point injections. My father had an episode at the funeral home July 3 and everybody thought he was dying. They had the ambulance come and get him and all. I don't know if it runs in families, or if ppl have 1 episode and no more????

    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      Diagnosed with RA July 2007 Took prednisone and Plaquenil for 6 mo., now- Plaquenil, Vicodin, and Neurontin. I have had setbacks with pain in joints, bursitis in hips, and carpal tunnel in both wrists for the last several months. Have muscle aches in neck, shoulders, legs and pain just under the skin. I just switched my Rheumy and see a new one in April. I also have Neurocardiogenic Syncope since June 2006 although I probably had RA for that long too. Have Carpal Tunnel and Migraines, also.

      Treatments

      Heat Working / Worked
      I use an electric blanket at night, stopped having leg cramps. I also use it while sitting in my rocker in front of the tv, like now. Works wonders.
      Hydroxychloroquine Working / Worked
      has worked for the last year and a half, having my doubts now, but maybe I am in a flare?
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      love it! no pain while on it for 6 months, side effects were possible weight gain, so I was on a strict diet. Felt good.
      Tramadol Considering
      Doctor put me on Vicaden.
      Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
      usually have to take 3 200 mg tabs to get benefits. Ibuprofen helps more.
    • Close Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

      I have RA and 1 1/2 years later I got Carpal Tunnel. My RA doc says that it is related to the RA.

      Treatments

      Wrist Splint Working / Worked
      I use it on both wrists when I sleep. Wouldn't be able to function during the day otherwise.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      have had migraines for about 3 years.

      Treatments

      Imitrex Somewhat Helpful
      Take 100 mg tab when I need one. Usually works, but can come back in a few hours.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      Migraines got better and so quit taking, didn't want to be on too many pills.
      Fioricet Considering
    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I have fibromyalgia and want to learn from others.

      Treatments

      I use a hot water bath and it helps
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      So far, it has helped.
      Heat Working / Worked
      helps at times
