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!

Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
