The hands...they cannot move!

Nov 04, 2007 21:15

Even though this hurts, I think I should post this. Something is messed up with my hands and wrists. They are all swollen and sore. Just enough swollen to make everything extra stiff. My other joints, feeling unloved, decided to join in as well. So I am a mass of painful joints and screaming muscles. I wish I knew why. Cold has been hurting, but as ( Read more... )

nano, health

Sympathy!

I hate to commend you to the tender mercies of the VA, but definitely a doctor needs to look at this. It could be a number of things and some of them are very treatable.

I was there Wednesday and mentioned this. At some point I am to get the blood test for Arthritis, and they will answer. If it isn't that...who knows?

You poor thing. I wonder if writing 11,000 + words on a laptop might not be part of the issue. I know that typing on dirocyn's laptop hurts my wrists.

I have been writing on the desktop for the most part. I only did the laptop thing and the write in.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

I hope I am feeling better soon too. I feel like pooh, with a head full of fluff. (What, you thought I meant a diferent pooh?)

Okay, maybe it wasn't the laptop -- it was a theory.

How was work?

Work was fun. Tamme was a hoot. She wants to show you off. Apparently you are all sparkly and shiny. If were lucky me might even be able to touch you. :)

It wasn't bad and I totally am sure I can do this job. I am shooting for Lead in about 2 months. Booyah!

When I read the first part of your post, my immediate thought was "I wonder if she's been checked for RA". I really hope that's NOT what it is, cuz RA sucketh mightily. However, there's something about -knowing- what something is that helps ya feel better.

Can I send Reiki?

poetheather November 5 2007, 22:35:37 UTC

I would be happy if you send Reiki.

And I really hope its not RA. No one on either side of the family has it, so...?

Ya know, I have heard that 'gulf war syndrome' and fibromyalgia are very similar if not the same thing.... and that the fluoride that is added to our water just exacerbates the problems.

AND what are you eating??? Vitamin B complex helps with my carpel tunnel. Watch out for MSG in your foods, that stuff is evil and always makes my hands hurt. Drinking lots of water, like 100 + ounces a day always helps me. Theragesic cream helps with the pain...
