Starting to wonder if I am dealing with some side effects of the new med. I have noticed the dry mouth becoming more intense, still nothing I'd say is "bad", but I have water with me all the time lately. I've also had body pains come back - joint pain, tenderness - mimics a flare. Not BAD, like the other day, but constant all week. Plus a headache ( Read more... )

Vet called last night, and said that Pixie continues to be a conundrum. Like last year when we were chasing down possible Cushings Disease, he's not sure what's going on. One liver number is abnormally high, but the rest are fine, so he doesn't worry about liver disease. There are two Thyroid numbers - absolute (which is low) and stimulate (or ( Read more... )

I find myself turning off the news - I don't want to learn more about the bombers, I don't care what message they thought they were going to make us all see. I guess it's that the news went from all the positive - the people helping, the outpouring of love and kindness - to the nasty. All I needed to hear was that this wasn't part of some larger ( Read more... )

Wiped out for no reason.  Woke up to puffy face, puffy red eyes, burning painful joints, especially around my neck, shoulders and ribcage.  Got that nervous heart racey type feeling too - which doesn't compliment the "I want to go back to bed NOW" feeling, believe me.  Completely brain dead w/no patience.  Of course that means a day with 2 separate ( Read more... )

I worry at times about how Kelsey interacts with people when she is disagreed with.  Well, maybe not "people", because honestly I haven't seen it with those outside the house, but if this is how she fights with those she's closest to, I feel sorry for her future significant others.  Sarcastic, condescending, with a look on her face like the sight ( Read more... )

Body pain and joint pain down a bit today - 6 instead of the 8 it's been.  Headache continues, behind eyes, steel band, moving down into my neck.  No red meat the past several days...after a few days in a row with that as dinner.  Connection?

I adore this story.  I can't believe it's taken me well over 2 decades to finally read the books that my dad found for me in England when I was in high school - not that I'm reading them, as I'm listening to the audiobook, I'm finishing 'The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest' in between reading the latest installments of 'The Walking Dead' that ( Read more... )

Voted, followed by a mammogram.  In both cases, squished into a small booth, mass amounts of pressure applied, and I can only hope that the outcome is a good one ( Read more... )

Flare.  Just starting.  Joints hate me.  So do words, which are getting tangled in my brain and not making it to my tongue.

Used the recumbent bike this morning, 20 mins while watching the news.  Felt good.  This is after a 12.4 mile bike ride Sunday on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail.  Still using my FatSecret app, and really working hard at picking ( Read more... )

Holy crap can't move.  Body is in immense pain.  Joints AND bruised feeling - even clothing hurts.  But at least for the most part I feel clear headed.  Tired tho ( Read more... )
