This & That, Good & Bad, Ups & Downs
I feel like I've got alot to say yet it's a jumble & I don't really know if I can make good sense here.
Abt a wk ago I've started having fasculitis problems but it's weird it's just between my ankles & knees. It really puzzles me & REALLY bothers me as to why this has started all of a sudden. Also for the last month by abt 6 p.m. every single night I've got serious arthritis pain mostly in the hands & wrist area but a bit in the knees. Some general achy type feelings too. I don't know if maybe our cold climate this time of yr is contributing to this but it still leaves me wondering abt the vasculitis thing.
I've been pretty careful abt what I'm eating at least 85% of the time. Yes I do cheat on a few things here & there but nothing steady.
I added a b complex vitamin to my vitamin program & I can say it's had a positive effect on the energy issue but now in my confusion it's got me wondering if it's causing adverse stuff in other areas.
My younger sister is having on-going depression issues & will be going in the hospital again for a bit. I'd like to take her & shake her sometimes because she quite often will turn to me for help/advice & such & I'll give ideas/recommendations but all she does is spin her wheels & she never steps out beyond her current circle of life so why do I keep banging my head against a wall here huh. My gut is telling me that one of these times when she approaches me I think it's time to nicely bring this point to her attn. She says she focuses alot on prayer & the Lord but there's something just not clicking.
I'm now really wondering if I've, without realizing it, contributed to some of my problems at this time. Seriously wondering if I need to keep my mouth shut & just let her flounder on her own, take a serious step away, turn a blind eye, etc. etc. Need to think abt this.
I'm still seeing my new reflexologist/reiki practitioner & I know it's a strong benefit for me on a lot of levels, but, does anyone ever experience with a dr or person such as this, that feeling that it's still not quite as good as your previous one. I don't know, maybe I'm grasping at straws here.
Well I think I'll sign off for now, I've whined enough here. I do value any thoughts my friends here on DS have as an outside person can sometimes have some good insight.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Kitty,
I have to answer yes to the question about your arthritis. It is the cold that is contributing. I have it too and this really cold weather has been just terrible for me. I\'ve been in extreme pain every time we get one of these terrible cold snaps. And with you living in Canada. Holy cow you must be hurting! As far as the other thing your fasculitis. I honestly don\'t know what that is and I\'ve never had it so I can\'t help you with that. Sorry about that.
Now on to your Sister. I felt like I was reading exactly about my relationship with my younger Sister. In the fact that she will want my advice or she gets into something that she doesn\'t know what to do about, and then she asks me what to do, then she does what she wants to do anyway. (sorry for the run on sentence) The thing of it is when she does what she wants to do, if she\'d have done what I told her to do, she wouldn\'t have gotten into more trouble. She always admits this to me. \"I should have done what you told me to do\". But she never ever does it. So I\'m with you, and I\'ve been thinking about doing the same thing. Just say to my Sister \"you never take my advice, so why give give it\"! Not sure if I can do that though. Will have to think about that one.
Next I wish you better luck with your Doctor. No one should have misgivings about their physician.
I hope I helped you with something today kitty. You can write to me anytime you wish if you have any questions. I wish you luck and happiness.
Bless you
Cathy
I think maybe the cold and the stress have taken a toll on you my dear. My advise is to call the doctor and go see him. Pray fully he will know what to do for you. No fun going around not knowing what is happening to us and we fill lousy everyday. I feel so bad for you. I just pray that your health will improve for you.
maybe your right on target about your sister. She does what she wants anyways. It is hard to help a normal person, let alone one with mental problems. I know cause my Terry has mental problems and my life is good for awhile then boom out of no where he starts being mean and demanding. The best thing for theses people is the doctor and some medicine. Hope this helps some. I love you . God Bless, frieda xxooo
I\'ve been on the look-out for friend\'s journals and somehow missed this till now. I know how you feel. When you are doing the same things and begin flaring, you want to know what caused it. Sometimes we know and sometimes we don\'t. I would wonder too about the vitamin B. I say that b/c I just added a harmless thing to my regime, for 4 days (the grapefruit seed extract I\'ve taken before) and I had a rotten flare! But, I also had that new acupuncture appointment, so how can we know what the problem really is? I\'ve had pain in my hands and wrists lately too, that I haven\'t had for months or years. I wonder if it\'s not this awful weather too. Or we could just be fighting off a flu bug ... our bodies fought it off and we never got the flu like other did, but we feel bad anyway in another way. My mom has always said that to me! And I think it could be very wise.
Maybe stop the b vitamin for a week, then restart it and see if it happens again. I do know that these flares, they do pass. I pray that you feel better my friend. God loves you and so do I. prayers, m
