Joyce,
The medications my Rhuematologist has me on are Methotrexate which help with joint
pain and severe swelling, Kinaret which is an injection I take everyday that is what
keeps the arthritis at bay, it is a gene reconstructive drug. Vioxx which is also for
Osteoarthritis which helps with joint swelling. It takes a while for all the Kinaret
to get into your system/6 weeks but it sure has made a big difference. Even though
there are still side effects the biggest with me is loss of hair - it hasn't been to
bad. I do have a slight little balding spot on the top of my head. If it gets any
bigger maybe I can join the order of Fransiscan Monks - lol - sorry no offense to the
monks! Seriously though I do feel alot better but I also think it is because I also
had both knees completely replaced. I was starting to loose the ability to walk due
to the severe swelling the arthritis did on my knees and all the damage to the
cartlige. Now I feel like a million bucks. I was so afraid to get
it done but once they did the left knee I could not wait for them to do the right
one. It was sooooo great not to feel any pain in my knees. Anyway not meaning to bore
you with my life - talk to your doctor there are new advances and one that will make
all the difference. If that doctor won't listen to you get someone else because no
one should have to live with alot of pain. I will be praying that you find the relief
you are looking for.

Dear Debra,
I did not see that episode but thanks for the laugh. I am new to nosdiet and I have
every intention to stick to this because it sounds so simple. I know I have
willpower. Or let me say I am now ready to take it off the shelf! I am so looking
forward to this because I need to loose about 250 pounds and I am not proud of that
at all. I gained alot after Severe Rhuematoid Arthritis put a stop to any movement my
body has ever made. I have lived with this condition for 13 yrs and they now finally
have medications that make me feel like excercising again and just get moving. I
Thank God when I stumbled on to your page. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You and i hope
to hear from you soon. Will keep you posted and maybe you can help me learn how to
share with everyone else. oh I also signed up @ Curves so I can try to loose about
2lbs a week. Think of me and say a prayer. Bye for now.

Hey everone :)
I was thinking how helpful it is to be part of this group and have
that much needed "lifeline" of support.
Knowing that we are all in this together makes it really nice.
Yesterday as I was pondering this first idea when I had a flashback
to that old episode of The Flintstones when Fred decides to join
overeaters anonymous...That scene where he is about to eat a whole
turkey in the middle of the night, and his group leader catches him
in the act by peeping into the window. Then he snatches the turkey
out the window using a bow and arrow attached to a string,
accompanied by an official group "alarm sound" that resembles a
turkey blowing a "raspberry" I couldn't stop laughing.
If you didn't see it well I guess you had to in order to laugh.
It is a visual joke.
But if you did let me know...I was cracking up thinking about it
(juvenille sense of humor that I have LOL)
Our group reminds me of that
Without the club turkey call of course :)
It's like we are monitoring everything together, even in our
"middle of the night" moments..Which I think is great, actually.
Some people I have been emailing directly, have mentioned that they
read every post and try to gain wisdom from what they have read. And
it sure beats paying 15 dollars a week to join Weight Watchers
Except for Reinhard that is, sorry coach, I did look at your post
about residual "revenue" and I did, infact, feel "sorry for you"
LOL
Shovelglovving went really well today, but it is 3 or 4 hours later
now and I am still totally floored from the amount of energy
expended during those, very, very, long 14 minutes. Now I am in
full shlepping mode, and slowing down more and more with every
passing moment. The 14 minutes was just enough time to listen to
Good Times Bad Times, Your time is gonna come, and most of I Can't
Quit Her..PS Rondelle, whole lotta love is on Led Zep II
And I'm gonna do it again tomorrow, because I think I am a glutton
for punishment...In all honesty, like I told SG group right after,
it was really exhillarating...I liked it alot..But very demanding
"Willlllmaaaaa"
Love,
Deb
