Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 I loved in Tucson from 1980 through 1983. I am sure it has changed alot since then. My girlfriend moved there two years before me. She is still there. Met a hometown guy, got married and has three kids. I left before the birth of #1. Too lonesome after she found her guy. I also missed the water and trees in Wisconsin as well as change of seasons (winter not included). It was real different living there and I liked it for awhile. I worked at the U of A for 8 physicists who were publishing all the time with their grad students. Our students came from all over the world. Very interesting group of people. I look back with great sentiment. Do you inner tube the Salt River? Did that several times. What a hoot!!! Dogs in inner tubs, stereos in inner tubs, food and drink in inner tubes. One big floating party of thousands of people. How about that cliff where people strip and jump into the water? Those were the days. No, I never climbed the cliff and striped. I had big hooters back then too and a nice bod. Fun fun fun in the Sun!!!! Jeannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fun fun in the Sun!!!! > My rheumie there was great, but she gave up her practice to do study on rats at the u of a. Lupus of course lol. She is the one that got me a true dx put me on the plaquenil and said within 3 mos you will be a whole new woman. lol At the time I was practically bed ridden, could shop the malls or even the grocery stores. I was a hermit. Low and behold 3 mos later bam! I felt great lol i could walk and move and DRIVE!!! lol It was a miracle drug for me. I worked as an office manager of a Dental Practice. How do you like Phoenix? I remember visiting mesa and it seemed nice. Any suggestions? I lost my bod after I started prednisone. In Jan of 98 I was a hot bod! I danced the night away! lol Miss that bod, but I am bound and determined to get there now that I rid myself of that awful Prednisone that put 50 lbs in a short time. darnit!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 , Phoenix is a great place to live.....getting very crowded (my opinion) but Arizona does have beautiful landscaping and weather. I would much rather pay for AC than for heat...havent had heat on yet this year....run around in shorts still most days....As for NY...yes it is a small world..but all my family except for my kids pretty much all live there still...and those who have left are near Pittsburgh.which is still too east for me......I need to try and get back there this year once May or June comes around..havent been home in almost 11 yrs...with FM and RA the idea of a 5-6hour plane ride doesnt thrill me...at least not without lots of painkillers.....maybe I'll spring for 1st class and get a more comfortable seat? Heck if I sit confined now for morethan 20 min I usually ache in my hips and legs...anyway nice to know someone else knows there's more to NY than the city.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Jeanette, Glad you have pleasant memories of Tucson..it is very different than Phoenix ....in many respects...but this state has grown so much in population...makes me sad...a lot of desert is getting housing developments, and government is starting to catch up in laws and all now...used to be you could do a lot of things here and get away with it( like running around with expired tags on cars for a few months and no one cared) ....now , well just too many people. I have never gone down the Salt...my dtr has ...it is quite the trip...they actually have buses now and tube rentals..so you can park your car at bottom and take bus to different spots and come down when ready. Yes , people still strip and jump off the cliffs ....and sadly a lot of them do it drunk and drown (2-5 people every year).Tucson is growing too and yes the Uof A is a wonderful teaching campus...most heart transplants and cancer treatments are done there...lots of experimental studies for meds down in AZ all the time..MOst of my Family Practice Drs are students from Uof A doing residencies in Phx....and yes I miss the change of seasons too sometimes...but in SYracuse there was 9months winter and 3 months summer .....a humid summer at that...do not miss that.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 , That is one of reasons I refuse to take Predisone any more...I gained 20-40 lbs everytime I went on it...I swear breathing adds lbs.I would lose some of it but never did lose enough.. I now have last 50-60 lbs cos of it.I will use inhalers when asthma happens.....and use an SVN every 4 hrs...as for RA , plaquenil and MTX have worked pretty well for me...I have flares when it gets cold and damp like today...but nothing like I was at my worse. Mesa is now 3rd largest city in AZ now...heard that other day on radio...again everything is developing really fast....and there is no more AF Base out there.......must go ..Judy inAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tired of going to the doc every month after eating hardly anything cause I was never hungry and then get on the scale for it to say I gained 5 more lbs. I went into the doc and said what the hey, I don't eat anything. He said in a chuckle well that's prednisone for ya. Yeah Yeah very funny! lol Breathing is a good word for the cause of it lol. I saved all my clothes pre prednisone and I am bound and determined to get back down in them. I am eating right, and I'm doing a new tape I got by Austin, it has 3 10min workouts. One for arms and chest, one for tummies, and one for butt and thighs. I try to do one a day depending on how I feel lolol. But it feels good to do it. I mean I can feel it the next day but its nothing unbarable and I know it's working. lol I am suddenly sweating ALOT that is a sign too! My sweetie is big into weight training, he has big muscles lol ooooo, lol And he runs. I have tried to do the walk around the track when he is running. It was COLD! lol I guess I would do it more if he was in town more often. Oh well. lol I'm trying to wait until I am back on my other meds full strength now cause I'm starting to feel icky so I am waiting. But am still determined to get myself back into shape. Thanks for the info on AZ too.
