Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 This happens to a lot of us. We still think of how we used to be able to do things, and even do it sometimes. We do however, pay for it many times over. As far as the joint pains, and swelling of various part s of your body, I suffer with that too. Ihope that you will be to pull it off,(the family reunion). You need to set aside some apart of each day to do some tasks.

Maybe because of the limited ability to remain active???? I think you are right, Jeanne.This is part of my thought as well as meds that we have to take.
