Rainy Sue back to you! :-)

Hey Rainy Sue!

Good to hear from you. What a day it's been...I went car shopping. I've

decided to sell my car and get an automatic...the shifting hurts my feet.

Anyway, where do your feet hurt..at the ankle or more between the ankle &

the arch? Just curious, mine hurt between the ankle and the arch. When I

got home today they were red & started swelling a bit and of course who can

forget the constant aching...I'm so scared I tell ya. I pride myself in

being a very strong person, but this is very scary. I'm glad to know someone

understands what it's like. I wish none of us had to go through this crap

though!!

By the way, the foot soaker sucks!! I tried it tonight & it has a massage or

heat & massage option. Well, all I want is heat & the massage hurts so I had

to turn it off so the water got cold right away!! Oh well...next! I'm gonna

look into the paraffin wax with my next paycheck. All this stuff adds up

quick. I'm not so excited with this Relafen anymore...still in pain & I'm

not sure if it prevented a flare up or not. I'll see what the doc says

tomorrow. Shame is that his office is too far away for me to get there to

pick up samples - so instead I have to keep buying new meds until something

works.....

Well, enough rambling for now. I'm trying to shake up my mood...lots of

crying today. Tomorrow's gotta be better!! :-)

I had the chickenpox at age 5 or so....and like most childhood diseases I got

, I got them bad. HOw ever I never in my entire life had a cold sore or fever

blister until my immune system started acting up...that was in 94 I

think...and the cold sore settled into my lymph nodes and infection travelled

to under my chin....then I turned around in spring of 99 and got

shingles....both times had to take mega doses of Zovirax(?)...I have always

had a significant bunch of allergies (drugs,molds, trees, grasses, etc) and

so does my Dad....and he has RA too...just figured most of my stuff was
