Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2008Kinda OTP: I should know better
than to get too cocky! Saturday was good. I was looking forward to the 3.5 wk. mark which is when Arava kicked in for me before. (just 2.5 weeks away!) Zicam had quickly knocked my cold down to levels of very mild allergy attacks. The sun was out and it reached 60 degrees! I did some garden cleanup and Puddin' Cat loved being outsied on his leash. Sunday afternoon found me emptying my stomach of all contents as another virus hit me so haard I spent 25 minutes on the floor of the bathroom after the second round waiting for the energy to get up and around the corner to bed. The stomach part was only 16 hours or so, but the major weakenss and intestinal cramps hung on until midday Wednesday. Tuesday we returned from running errands in town to find a letter in the mail essentially saying Sony can't repair my digital camers. As we leave for Paris 5/13, I'm busily searching out info about a replacement. I'm learning that the manufacturers don't want to equip a single camera with what I want! And now the weather's been grey all week with some rain. Water is flooding in to the basement (though not yet at Adelle's level, thankfully). Mike is sacked out on the couch with a severe headache either from a virus or from the mold of our wet basement. The weatherman is talking rain tonight, turning to sleet with highs "approaching" 40 for the weekend. I know it's April in northern Michigan, but it's getting to me! I'll take cold temps if we can just get sunshine for more than a few hours each week! Working in the yaad Saturday was worth it for the pains it gave my hands and wrists, but dusting the house just isn't as appealing! LOL next week will be better, next week will be beter, next week WILL be better...... (just to top it all off, I accidentally posted this in the fibro group, where I just lurk! should be interesting..... forgot about the camera in that one though!)  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. Nann, you really have had enough problems the last many months to last you a long, long time. And the viruses are really not being fair to you; they come too often and hang around too long. I do hope you're feeling better by now. You just have to stay well so you can enjoy Paris, and Mike needs to stay well also. Hope you can find a suitable camera for the trip. I had the same problem with my wall phone. The first one I ever had was just perfect; but they no longer make that kind or anything comparable. That's like finding a lipstick you really like, and it is no longer made! Oh well, as you said, you WILL feel better next week! And you WILL find a camera you like! Gwen > than to get too cocky! Saturday was good.

I hoped these stomach virsues would go away when i went off the Enbrel, but they've just gotten slightly less frequent. I think I may have damaged a tooth in this last one, too. need to remember to analyze it with mirrors to decide if I need to call the dentist. sigh.......... > Hope you can find a suitable camera for the trip.

These manufacturers are really annoying! Two weeks to go until te Arava should kick in! SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. I saw it written somewhere that there is a page on the Internet that specializes in expired lipstick colors. They get the formula from the manufacturer and then make the lipstick. Good luck on the camera. Too many of them nowadays have so many bells on them, one can't find the whistles you *have* to have.

(((((((((((((((((((nann))))))))))))))))) sweetie, you've been through the wringer, with more than your fair share of not feeling well. i wish i could wave a magic wand and poof! all better. i'm sad and sorry you've been going through so much. you and mike are in my thoughts and prayers, as always. kate remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. {{{{{{{{{{{{{ Nann }}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Nann, I hate the fact that you continue to struggle with these intestinal bugs. Just doesn't seem right and I worry that they are missing something with you! Prayers that you get to feeling better and stay feeling better for a good long time!!! Take it easy and be careful to not over do. I know, I know, easier said than done, but do try to be careful with YOU!!! Hugs, . . . . Donna . . . . 1.)

Just doesn't seem right and I worry that they are > missing something with you! I think of it more that something is really hiding from the doctors. During last year's work-up I had 4 different doctors, all of whom impressed me with their knowledge and thoroughness, throw up their hands and attribute it all the my illness process. But this is only the second stomach bug since that workup ended with the biopsy at the end of Sept. now that it appears the trend is continuing, I'll have to mention that it my next appointments.

Nann, I have a spare digital camera (I saw one with image stabilization and had an Amazon gift certificate). Email me with your address (my email is unmunged), and I'll gladly pull the batteries and send it to you. It's a Panasonic DMC-LC33, 3.2 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, runs on AAs, and uses SD memory cards. Signature"[xxx] has very definite opinions, and does not suffer fools lightly.

It's a Panasonic DMC-LC33, 3.2 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, runs on > AAs, and uses SD memory cards. I really appreciate the offer, but I want loads of zoom. The camera that is unrepairable has a 10x zoom and I want at least that again. I've been living on the Digital Camera Resource site for the last two days and have it down to four to decide between. But my hands & wrists keep limiting how long I can stay on. I'm leaning towards the Fuji S8000fd with 18x optical zoom at the moment. My camera was a Minolta, but they sold their camera business to Sony a couple of years ago. Sony is buying back my camera for about 45% of what I paid. Considering they didn't make it, it's 3.5 years old & I bought it refurbished to begin with, I think it's pretty decent of them. That and the repair fees I'm NOT paying will cover 2/3 of the cost of my next one. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. That is really neat that they would do that. Sounds like you have your eye on a really neat camera. Paris in the spring sounds so lovely. I remember Germany was lovely then. Hope those virus bugs run the other way. Here's hoping you'll get some beautiful sunny warm days like we've had here.

I hope you are doing much better now Nann from that terrible stomach flu. Sorry to hear about the camera, and the flooding basement and Mike being ill. I hope he is doing better by now too. I am glad you had a chance to work in the garden. I can imagine how you feel. Yeah it is somethings nice to do that kind of work even if it does hurt us. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > than to get too cocky! Saturday was good.
