i took alot of photos of my hands and feet today. the swelling has decreased because i took it easy," real easy " yesterday,, so i feel half normal today, EXCEPT that i still have that pain in my right hip,, its persistant and deep and only way to forget it is to take pain meds,, (which i think is making me soosleepy)

sunday, woke up at 5.00 am, like the old.days,Meaning i never can wake up that early anymore---- i USED to get up @ 5 naturally-
I noticed the tingling in my hands and feet,BUT this is BEFORE it all goes off, its JuST starting... so i took pain meds NOW and stayed up to see if it went into pain or was stopped by pain meds,,result= awsome i beat the pain by taking meds at 4.45 -5.00 am / i KNOW the pac-mans munching away on my knuckles usually starts at 5.00 am,and it comes up with a vengence,, no creeping in,,just a Bam! pain galore-
unbearible- so i go down from that point, it takes about all day to recover from the fight to wait for medicine to kick in, by god,i dont know what id do w/o prednisone,(bad, bad drug) but its what is holding back the flare BUT i need more, Doctor sd NO! we should not have even began the predisone BUT now im dependent and its gonna take a long time to get off it, this DRUG makes me crazy , i cry and feel like everyones out to get me,, im paronoid way way beyond whats normal, and i drive everyone crazy wiith moodyness and scared of everyting, shit, it messes me up bad- i DONT recommend to take pred if ever given the choice.

woke up satuday morning (29th of july) and realized,oh.no, REALLY dont feel anybetter then when i went to sleeplast nite, looks like i did not move either, same position i fell asleep in Last nite i had the most unbearable pain in my right hip, knee and ankle and all the regular stuff,but my hip is bad, I realized this morning AT 8.00am -THATS WHEN I OPENED MY EYES TO A BEAUTIFUL NEW DAY,
only to find myslf in bad shape, i hobbled back here, to the computer room ,to take my pills -i took the whole group in one shot/ swallow .. but it backed up and i had that "HARD TO swallow again,thingy " thought i was gonna choke- loose my pills, but i saved it,, i got thru it,then found my self waiting for them to kick in,, on the floor in pain ,crying, for 20- 30 minuets ,, (quietly so noone would come to worrie or ask to help me, because theres nothing noone can do,and my kelly gets stressed -cuz she cant help me) it makes her cry,then its just a "cry fest",, crazy libras

**** 11.21 NOW , i feel the pain, but its" hidden" under my other pain meds (un-named pills) and (no name allowed PILLS),, those pills wrk tho ,i need to figure out how to wake up" NOT in pain"

the pictures of ra *plus random


I just sat here for over

ONE-one fricken hour
IN
bigtime
HIP/wrist pain just to blog -when i cant even stand the name "blog"- "blog"-ick who started calling it that, how dumb/i just got it ready to publish- and bam! something went way wrong,, i lost it! everything -OMG -all i typed ,, even my little story of how i remember my great-grandma in her garden ,, wait,wait wait.. forget this,, im just gonna try to remember what the fuck i typed then redo it,, im trying to take a deep breath,relax here and get rid of any anger,,ok,,, go for it,, ---------------- deep breath ------ its hard to forgive this website for loosing my whole page of typing, but ,, it really... was my own hyper-active fault- i did not read what the thing said..i clicked OK ,and it was all gone,,shit-i wanted to just start bitchen here, but now im laughin-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
today is friday, its actully 8.30 pm,,my cat elvis and i are here at the computer and i wanted to take time to log some stuff
today was very very steamy and hot,- i went out side for about 10 minuets- and was sweatng abnormally - so, i went inside,, but i did move one chunk of monkeygrass over to where i wanted it- i took my methotrexate shot today, the dose is now .5cc as per Dr Mckay/ they have also bumped up my remcaide appt. to the 10th of next month august/ instead of the end of august/ they want me every 4 weeks ,not 8 wks - as protocol would have me,,but im stuck in a flare- and it wont let me go. So we have to be hardcore fight back .
The reason im in this state NOW is due to a fight with my kidneys or liver,cant remeber,
but i became " acidic" ? ,,
they said that i have to stop all my metho and remcaide untill blood test came back OK,,
and that took awhile,,
its been about 3 months of this,, i almost was stable until i went acidic,, but they said that just happens,,its why they take my blood every time - so,OK im learning,
anyhow,my hands are going crooked and my wrists are twisted up - and i predict they will be the first to go,,whatever that means,
my wrists are soo delicate,they hurt so bad- (reminds me of the prednisone has weakened me, ive chipped 2 teeth within a 2 month period and my crown fell off too, so that shit- medicine is messing with me, and there is nothing i can do,, (wont even go on about how my hair is falling out by the hand full)
well, lets nutshell,im tired,
i will recall my great grandmas story again - before i LOST ALL my words on that last effort here, i thought of her because i posted the picture of me in upper left in the front yard about 2 weeks ago,, i was happy because i was outside in the garden, an i planted a flower, and i was very happy about that! i love dirt, love to garden, i love to plant - and i dont care about the DONT DO ANYTHING rule from my doctor,,i have to plant! i inhereted that from my mother , and her mother and her mothers mother ,,my greatgrandma, i loved her -her name was dorothy fink and she, and milo fink, my great grandad ran the post office in a small town in orchard iowa,, hung out with great grandma and grandad alot as a kid, -they had a garden, to the extreme, perfect , as a child i thought it was majik! and so pretty,, but i was afraid of the bumble bees too much to pay attention to the beauty, they were too distracting for me as a kid,,i got stung as a kiddy and was always afaid of anything that buzzzzzes
from that moment on ,,,,,,grrr,,shake shake,ug! ick.
hehehe,,goodnitenow, ifanyone is out there!
