Re: Update on me

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Since I have joined this group, I also lost nearly 15 lbs (around

March of this year) and ended up gaining it all back when I started

working fulltime and stopped excersizing as much.

Isn't it a shame we have to put ourselves in a tizzy to get the

excersize or suffer the consequences of being overweight?

Take it one day at a time and the excercize will become a part of

your life again.

I thought I remembered you posting something about getting married

recently and maybe you thought you were pregnant. Was this you? If

not sorry I may be confusing you with someone else.

Good luck!

Dianne

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@yep slowly but sureley because water and eating

better have become pretty natural for me. it's easy for me to keep

to my healthy habits once they're formed. so hopefully the exercise

habit won't take too long.

@@@@@@@@@@@@it was me. it turned out i was not pregnant, so doctor

put me on provera to induce my period. now i have a followup

appointment next week and we are going on fertility drugs. thanks

for asking. i was married in march, but we've known each other a

year before that.

Dawn, good luck on the IME today...hope things go well and he is a good dr and not a paid loser for the w/c. Hope you feel better..I still have this nasty bug...it's a little better but not much. My hands swelled over the last few days too..hoping it is arthritis and nothing more because of the weather change here. Hope you have a great day...it's yucky outside here...Hugs..Ginnydawn lorenz wrote:

Ginny,

Feel so bad that you woke up with a temp. I know that you must feel miserable. Well we must be related some how, because I also woke up so sick this morning. I do not have a fever, but I have a terrible dry cough and I am achey all over. I have been taking motrin all day. I have also just started to get a real bad headache. My Mom went grocery shopping tonight and was going to pick up some stuff for me, because she knows I feel awful and have to go to the doctors on Tuesday. You know what it is like when you cancel an IME appointment!! Well take it easy and hope that you feel better tomorrow! I am going to bed in a few minutes! LOL

Dawn,

I didn't get a thing done on ie's room...I woke up with a temp and basically have laid low all day...slept off and on most of the day. Hoping tomorrow I feel better and can get the room fisnished. My hands are both very swollen and sore today also. I woke up around 4ish with both hands extremely swollen...mostly in the joints so I am sure it has alot to do with the arthritis flare up. So if they are not better tomorrow I don't think i willl be painting. My cat is the master of the house and he treats me like his pet...lol...so I know what you mean. It's funny but all cats are like that very stubborn and like to remind you who is boss (hint: it's not you..lol) Hope you had a great day...Hugs..Ginnydawn lorenz wrote:

Ginny,

Just read this and saw that you may possibly be giving yourself injections. Well if you have any problems friend, just give me a call, I am becoming an expert on giving needles! I still do not like them, but they are becoming much easier to give. I am also very glad that you are finally getting some treatment for the optic neuritis and no longer have to continue to wait. I hope that you have a great day today and get to work on ies room. He will be so excited to see his room done when he comes home. You should see how I am sitting at my desk right now. The kitty will not get out of my chair, so we are sharing and she is being very nasty and whining at me and Holly. I am sitting on the end of it and almost ready to fall off. I really need to tell you that they live here and I just pay the bills. I cannot believe that she will not leave with me practically sitting on her. I guess we all have a serious stubborn streak!

Well need to go and get dressed so I can get something done today! Take Care and have a great day. LOL Always!

Hi all

I saw my rheumatologist yesterday..she is wonderful...she is going to start me on remicade..but I have to have a TB test beforehand to make sure I don't have it...I also have to see an opthamologist that specializes in optic neurology to confirm to suspicions that my optic neuritis is being caused by psoriatic arthritis and not sjogren's which I also have. She doesn't want me on prednisone since my psoriasis is really bad and prednisone can make it even worse. She did inject my fibro trigger points with cortisone and lidocaine to make it feel better..today they are a little sore...hoping tomorrow they will feel 90% better which is usally the case. The good news about remicade now is that they just came out with a new way of giving it...They still give some patients the infusions...but I will have the choice of getting infusions or giving myslef the shot 3x a week...I am definetly going to give it to myself at home if possible...depending on which my

insurance will cover. So things seem to be moving in the right direction now...finally..lol. Hope everyone is having a great weekend...Hugs..Ginny
