Stinking Flare Coming on...

[Guest guest]

Hello one and all...

Well I've gone and done it to myself this time... I was feeling so

awesome after my last Remicade treatment that I forgot I was NOT

superwoman. First my Rheumy told me to get " serious " about losing

weight or I would need to consider bypass surgery (so NOT an option

for me, and by the way does he think I've been fooling around all

these years, like you know I could lose the weight any old time???).

My answer was to beef up the exercise to include water aerobics 3

times a week, and pilates and yoga once a week. Basically my ankles

and knees are rebelling. THEN I decided the kids room needed to be re-

done right now (I think it's a tendancy with this disease... I better

hurry up and do what I can before I feel yucky again!) Well, I re-

painted, moved out all the furniture, sorted toys, re-organized and

loaded it all back in again. Oh yeah then there were the 8 loads of

laundry to catch up on. Now I have a really bad sore throat. Any new

ideas to battle a nasty one? I'm drinking loads of herb tea, sucking

on Halls, taking hot steamy showers.... about to go looking for some

leftover Vicodin. Why do I do this to myself?!?!?!?!?!?!?
