My fingers are swollen, my feet hurt, and I feel really bad for that woman who cut me off in traffic this morning. I forgive you for that if you forgive me for showing you a certain swollen finger, k?
Hi there, my name is cha – I am 24 y/o and I have had rheumatism for 6 years now – I have my right hip and my right elbow replaced, and i need my left elbow replaced very badly but im scared, because my hip joint had popped out after i got it done in august by a quack doc. there are so many things us young people have to worry about.. like dating, dealing with boyfriends who are not understanding, etc. no one ever talks about it.
I am glad you are blogging about your condition
On a scale from 1-10 on people with rheumatioid arthritis, my disease is about a 9 on the severe scale
things have been really shitty for me, prednisone seriously f*cked me up, so whatever you do stay off of it if you can. Also, being a non-dairy vegetarian for 13 years really messed me up too because it really sucked the calcium right out of my bones, along with my prednisone. keep fighting!
It’s like that here, too – damp, rainy, windy, cool.
There’s also a public transit strike in my city, so traffic is even more horrendous than usual. Ugh.
LOL … but sorry you’re feeling so yucky. Wet weather is just a nightmare …
