I went to the rhumetologist today. She was wonderful and thorough, and she is leaning more toward fibromyalgia than arthritis. More tests next.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I must go back to the doctor soon about my joint pain. I'm always complaining about it and rarely do anything for it except take ibuprofen.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Seska, I have fibromyalgia as well, but currently have no doctor. Could I get more info from you?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats, Kate!

It's my go-to answer for nearly everything, but still, wheat gluten can cause joint pain in people who are sensitive to it. Have you ever tried eliminating wheat for a while?

I totally haven't, but now I totally will. No one had suggested that to me before. That said, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't actually eat much wheat. I'm definitely not a bread eater. Will be easier to cut out that way though.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Jars, I'm sorry to hear about G's grandfather being moved to hospice. May there be as much peace as possible during this difficult time.
