My tremors are just about gone; you can read my writing now!  I am so happy
about it; not being able to write decently was for the birds.

I may have written this already; I just don't remember.  The first thing my
new doctor had done was 10 blood tests, and the first change she made was to
put me on B12 shots; one a week for 5 weeks, and now one every 4 weeks..
After the second week I could tell that I was stronger.  Have kept improving
and now feel good again most of the time.  Caught myself singing in the
kitchen the other day (which I used to do a lot) and it had been over a year
since I felt like singing!  I still give out of breath easily and am still
on oxygen when I sleep, but just feel so much better that I am rejoicing in
that.  I just thank God that I am now able to go to church nearly all the
time.  For a while it was quite iffy each week; I just had to wait until
Sunday and see how I felt.

I'm just praying now for all of you to improve as much as I have.  The OA is
still very much present but other things are so much better.

Gwen....I am so happy for you and I have a great big smile on my face
after reading your upbeat post.
I also have B12 shots (once every six weeks) for peripheral neurapathy
in my feet and I always feel so much peppier after a shot.
I'm happy your tremors have lessened too.  I have familial tremors in my
hands which I inherited but they aren't too bad right now.
Your feeling so good is such a nice way to start a new year.

That is so good to read.   Myself,,,, my RA is coming back to life and has
started with my right shoulder.   I still am having shingle attacks that
start under my left arm with a pain where I can almost not get my breath.  I
am taking a 300mg capsule of Neurontin twice a day and vicodin every 6
hours.
I only take one at that time.  Two just about knocks me out.  I have never
taken that before.   I just took two prednisone in hopes of slowing down my
Ra.   My wife thinks that is a good sign that maybe the shingles are going
away.  Who knows but both is just more than I can stand.

Oh Harv, I can only imagine how bad it is to have both at the same time.
Will be praying for both to get much, much better immediately.
