Guest guest Posted June 29, 2000 Report Share Posted June 29, 2000 Hi : Thanks for the welcome. I am doing really good these days. I am in remission I think. I will know that for sure once I can get really really low on Prednisone and just have the MTX supporting me. I did an almost major boo boo today. I was on the cordless phone with my mom. and someone was running the vacuum cleaner so I decided to go into the basement. Well as I closed the door, I missed three steps and almost fell down the steps. I was able to catch myself but now I hurt in places where I twisted. Mom did the usual mom thing on the phone about you need to be more careful and watch what you are doing blah blah blah!!!! Moms are funny. I swear us arthritics are so accident prone. In my other group, people were falling down constantly. I guess that is why we call ourselves gimps. LOLOLOL If you can't laugh at yourself then laugh with yourself. Then they'll think your nuts too!!! LOL Jeannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
