Hi , you did good girl. I can't imagine trying to walk on such a wet and

miserable day but you did it and you deserve to feel a lot of pride. Thanks for

walking for us.

Hi Tess,

Thats great! I hope you are feeling better today.

I too did my walk in Syracuse NY. It was POURING rain and I was about

to bail on it (walking slowly with a 21 month old in a rainstorm

didn;t seem like a good plan).

But then the sun came out!! It was cold and damp and windy, only a

handful of people showed up, but it was nice to meet some new people.

It was a friendly event.

My little 21 month old girl wanted to walk instead of ride in the

stroller but she is only 20 lbs and the wind might have blown her

away. Maybe I should have let her push me in the stroller -lol.

I was exhausted afterwards, but it was a good kind of tired and sore,

like I accomplished something if you know what I mean.

I am very grateful that I was able to do it, thanks to the

encouragement of all of you!!

mile goal. I feel like dog-doody today, but I am still happy I was

able to make the mile. My daughter who was 1 the last time I did a

charity walk and whom I carried on my shoulders then, was by my side

yesterday, as were my sister, and friends from my bariatric group.

the walk (with several stops and LOTS of encouragement). Don't know

if I could do it again. And right now I cannot let that matter. For

this day, I was blessed to do it. And we exceeded our goal

financially in donations. I feel very grateful and very blessed, and

will not take this event for granted.

YEAH !

That is great that you and your little one were able

to do the walk! Glad you did not leave too soon, and

were able to get the sun to come out for the rest of

the day. I am so very proud of you! Take care -

Hi :

I am better, thanks for asking. The RA and Fibro

usually take turns kicking my butt, but over the past

weekend I was double teamed and got hit by both. Not

fair.

I have taken Arava in the past, and it really did help

me, and I took it in combination with Mtx. I was

unable to continue taking it, though, because it began

after about six months of use, to cause me a lot of

stomach distress (sudden, and I mean sudden!)

diarrhea, and also in the end I was having some

symptoms of peripheral neuropathy which was definately

no fun. Once I went of the Arava it all went away. I

hope that Arava is as good to you as it was to me

before I began having side effects. Good luck -
