Nothing New!
Well, here I am again and slowly feeling normal again. I had an appointment with my RA doctor on Thursday and he injected both my left elbow joint and my left knee, with cortisone and lidocane. I feel a bit better right now. Managed to do a lot of housework today, but took lots of breaks while doing it. The old me could have had this done in a matter of a few hours, but now, it takes me about 6 to 7 hours to accomplish my work. My doctor wants to take me off one of my medications in a few months, cause neither of us know if it is benefitting me to take it. I have dinner on now and will write more soon.

Dear Shelly,I ran across your blog, and just have to tell you to hang in there. I have chronic pain, too, and all the morning stiffness made worse by weather. Fortunately, I'm in Arizona, but even those rare and small changes make a difference. You are keeping busy in spite of it, and that is the best we can do. Staying mobile is the hardest part, but it sure is worse when we stop moving, isn't it?May God bless you and ease your pain. I'm glad I found your blog and look forward to checking in.
