Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder.

Opening things is a daily challenge. You would think that arthritis was a new thing! Not everyone has RA but most of us develop OA later in our lives. They even have the nerve to put "approved" by the Arthritis association on one of the coffee cans. I have to ask my husband or my son to open almost everything these day. Bought a bunch of really cheap scissors that I placed strategically around the house. Cut up some of that rubberized shelf liner into 4x4 inch pieces to carry with me in case in need to open something when no one is there to help. At school I try to sit next to someone friendly in case I need help opening a bottle of water. Oh well......

My doctor gave me a bunch of samples of Celebrex. There were 3 pills to a pack -- a blister pack! Jeez.... I used a knife to get the pills out. You'd think that good ol' Pfizer could figure out an easy-to-open package for their overpriced drugs.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus).

Im ready to start...
