Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hello all! I am starting to feel like myself again and moving about. I spent 3 days last week at the OKC quilt show...I know I overdid it. I lived on my pain meds and muscle relaxers but i just had to go. I took gobs of pictures and I drooled over the beautiful quilts each day. The swelling in my body is starting to go down so I know I am going to be better...lol...as better as a person with RA can be. I have just sat in my chair with my electric blanket on reading or sewing as the day went by to let my body recuperate from all the stress I put on it...It was so much fun though. I want to welcome all the newbies and tell you I am here lurking most every day and post once in a while. I am able to read more on my computer then type on my keyboard. I feel for you that are newly diagnosed and hope that you are able to find a good doctor to help you deal with this disease. My best advice would be to read here daily...to get yourselves on a good diet...read one of the books either the Zone Diet or the South Beach diet...both are very good and will help your body out. I have moderate to severe RA and have been suffering with it most of my life. I take methotrexate each week, foltx to rebuild my immune system that the MTX destroys. I do Remicade once every 8 Weeks. I take Lortab and Skellaxin, If anyone has any questions for me, my email is bluerose11@.... I do answer emails...lol God bless each and every one of you ... my prayers are with all of you.
