Well I had an interesting appt with my rheumy today.  Overall I'm holding my own quite well.  He always checks me for any sign of vasculitis-NONE.  He listens to my breathing which he said sounds good.  He checks all my joints & does some general mobility tests. The only issue is me trouble sleeping which of course affects my energy level.  I know he'd like to see this work out.  He said I shd discuss this with my GP to see if he thinks I shd go on something.  As I want no more meds I'm going to talk to my reflexologist 1st & see if he has any recommendations fr the eastern medicine side of life.  He's never steered me wrong so far on various issues. Did find out something interesting abt hip/pelvic problems.  He did a thorough joint check for that area & he says the hip appears mobile and fine.  He's thinking I might have a pinched nerve in my lower spine so he did a bunch of X-Rays and he says I shd see my GP abt having an MRI done to confirm if it is or not.  Accupuncture here I come I think!!!! Well we took our new kitty out of quarantine today as her cold is pretty much cleared up.  Our older male is doing better with her then our female.  Poor Angel is really upset abt this.  I'm trying to do what I can to help her but it will be rough for a while I think. Thats abt it for now.

I\'m glad the visit went well. I think acupuncture would be wonderful for you right now. I wish I could get back to having it. Glad kitty is doing better. Cats are funny. I think 3 days is about all they need to get along ... usually! Sometimes 3 hours works, sometimes not LOL. seems like our cats and dogs got along more quickly than just the cats did. hope it goes well though.

keep us posted on the sleeping med issue. I know it\'s a big decision. God bless, m
