- Does anyone here run? I am an avid runner and love it wholeheartedly. Lately when I head out though I can only go 3 or 4 km and I get pins and needles in my feet and up my shins. By km 4 it is usually so bad that my left foot starts to feel numb and...
- I was diagnosed pretty young with RA. I chose to ignore it and just deal with daily pain as it came. I have had 3 children and was in remission (Im assuming) during all of my pregnancies and for most of the following years due to nursing. Now that I...
- Ok so this is how it works...The first person writes 1 postive word that makes them happy and the next person has to write a word (about how they are feeling, 1 word only) starting with the last letter of the last...
- Hi my name is Rebecca. I am new to this support group and am looking for tips, tricks, support and advice on quitting smoking.I quit over 3 years ago while trying to get pregnant with our first daughter. My hubby quit at the same time and never...
- So I will try to make this short and sweet. I have only been back to work after maternity leave for about 7 months now. I work in the disability field with mentally handicapped individuals in group homes. The other night we took all the clients out...
- Ok so I am not going to lie and since my symptoms have been going crazy I have been doing more and more research on this ugly disease (since my docs are no help at all). And I am terrified of my daughters having JRA. My oldest girl (age 3) has been...
- Ok so this isn't intended to be a massive looking for advice blog. I am really just venting. Support would be great but please don't lecture me. I WILL get there in my own time....I swear I will. Here goes, I have 2 beautiful, wonderful daughters. I...
- How about we all share one thing we are thankful for ...... I'll start. I am thankful for all the wonderful people on this board that have supported me from day 1 (even though sometimes I have a big mouth haha). I am very grateful to those who...
- Can't sleep! My feet are so swollen they are on fire! It feels like someone is using a stapler on the insides of my ankles. Or maybe like someone heavy is standing on my foot. It hurts so bad I am having trouble even describing what hurts or...
- Have you noticed anything unusual about your periods since being diagnosed with RA? I hadn't had a period in 4 years (due to back to back pregnancies and breast feeding). Than I started having 'normal' periods again about 4 months ago. But I am in...
- How about sharing a funny story or something that makes you smile no matter how much you hurt. I have 2. Every night before bed my 2 year old has to look out the window and say good night to the moon. She is always upset if it is behind the clouds...
- I am very sorry to anyone that I may have hurt by my last post. I was only asking if this is a religious forum because to me it seems to be. In turn I was called a fake, intolerant, uncanadian, a bigot and several other lovely names. Some people...
- OK so before I start please do not read this if you are easily offended because that is NOT what I am trying to do here. I just want to have a frank discussion about my feelings. I understand that a lot of people were upset about some posts about...
- So I went in to the doc (not my regular one as he was booked solid for the next few weeks) to ask if I could get a referral to a rheumy as my RA has been getting worse and worse. He basically told me that I am imaganing things and that RA ONLY...
- Only took me half the night but I finally got a photo uploaded. This is my oldest daughter last year at Christmas! She is one of my angels and the light of my life. My daughters are the biggest reason I get out of bed every day and I just thought I...
