Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.
To me this is considered in the same catagory as chronic pain. Because to me this is what it is. Yesterday 1-31-07 was a really bad day. It hurt to walk, move, lay. I was a mess. My legs their muscles, joints all hurt to move. Just walking was a chore :(.
I couldn't even stand for more than a few minutes at a time...how sad is that! My sweet heart hubby was hungry after he'd gotten home from Church. And he always cooks....but I knew he did not feel like it last night. So I brought the potatoes to my chair and table and peeled them and sliced them for fried potatoes. He did the cooking of them. Then he asked me to make him some scrambled eggs to go with it. OK 3 eggs, a pan, Pam and eggs cooking took about 5-8 minutes. But I had to lean and lift up on my counters just to get through this meaniel task.
When I sat down you thought I'd run a marathon or something, the way I was aching and hurting!
This just really discourages me. And makes me feel so worthless :( .
I wish I knew why my Dr. did not give me something for Arthritis for the back and legs? Are their procedures before that can happen? Were there questions I should have asked him?
So here I am before and after the MRI's and still getting no relief. Just make me want to cry!
Sorry you guys...not trying to ruin good coffee this morning, just needed to vent some. Thanks to all who listened. You guys are the best! Here's too better days!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
