Checking back in!

Wow!  What a hassel!  I got a virus on my computer when I was on Facebook and it took me two days working for several hours plus paying money to get it off!  I'm glad to be back on.  Next week is finally the week I get to see the rheumatologist.  I have been feeling very well the last 7 days compared to what I have felt like since the first part of June.  I have some arthritis in my wrists that hurts but is tolerable.  I am wondering if any of you experiance swelling with Sjogren's?  I mean total body swelling.  Not pitting edema like water retention but just bigger all over.  I feel it in my lungs as well.  I can feel it in my knee joints too.  Not painful.  Almost as if I walked into something I am allergic to and my whole body reacts for a few hours to a day.  Then it subsides.  I am not on prednisone and I started to notice this to a small degree starting last year.  I welcome feedback.Also have been working at getting this extra 30 lbs off.  I have goofed up for 3 days out of 4 and am determined to get back on the wagon today.  I just think being thinner would help me to feel better as well.  Love you guys.  Pam
