Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2005Hello!
I ambled into this group several weeks ago, after two + months of severe arthritis pain. I say "severe," but actually almost a lifetime of hurting here and there. You welcomed me (but someone took my chocolate supply!). Then I developed that dreadful flu that seems to be "going around." I WILL be back, as soon as I feel a bit better! In the meantime, take very good care of yourselves! Renee "There is no end of things in the heart." Michael Connelly Here, Renee, you can have my chocolate. I prefer hard candies anyway. Welcome to our group and don't breathe on anyone until you're over the flu. Have a cup of hot chocolate on me.

I say "severe," but actually almost a lifetime of [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > "There is no end of things in the heart." > Michael Connelly Hi Renee, Sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you get to feeling better real soon! Welcome here to the group. I think maybe half of your chocolate was already stolen over in the lung group long before you came over here------LOLOLOL!!! Renee, what type of arthritis have you been diagnosed with? Is it RA? Am trying to remember what you post during roll call each month over in the lung group! Anyways, feel better and join in when ever you like! Donna G Donna G, what is the url for the lung group, please? Gwen > Hi Renee, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Donna G > Donna G, what is the url for the lung group, please? > Gwen [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >>Donna G Renee, just hang in there. Our pastor's wife had that flu that kept making return visits with her not feeling really well in between times so someday you'll feel better. Gwen, I'm not Donna but I know what lung ng she's talking about. It's a WebTV (now called MSNTV) only firewalled newsgroup. The URL is news:alt.discuss.med.lung-disease but you have to have WebTV/MSNTV (not the MSNTV 2 that's being advertised) to access it. I have a WebTV and I post in that ng. Had the WebTV before I had the computer. Nell Thanks Nell. I don't qualify! Gwen > > Donna G, what is the url for the lung group, please? > > Gwen [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Nell I have osteo -- in most joints! Getting old is the pits. What am I saying? I've had this problem for 40 years -- just not this bad! It has been raining like crazy in CA, and that doesn't help, does it? Question: I was reading a book yesterday and came across this statement: "She swallowed three aspirin dry, something that those with arthritis learn early." Am I missing something? Is it better to swallow meds without water? Or did she do it just because she was in a hurry? Help me out here, guys! As for the lung group -- they are (at least one of) the best! I say that even though they DID rob me of my chocolate stash! My Dr. is putting me on "an" arthritis diet. Very strict. If I can make it through Easter, maybe I can stay on it a while! Hugs and -- sincerely -- very best Easter wishes. Renee "There is no end of things in the heart."

It tastes so bad. It is usually advisable to take meds with a full glass of water so they get to the stomach, instead of sticking half way down the esophagus. >My Dr. is putting me on "an" arthritis diet. Very strict. If I can >make it through Easter, maybe I can stay on it a while! Hopefully chocolate is included in the diet. Otherwise I would avoid it. :-) >Renee > >"There is no end of things in the heart." >Michael Connelly --- Joan Long ago I learned how to toss just about any pill against the back of my throat and swallow it without water. Even dry powdery aspirin. And without tasting it either.It was a necessity back when no one carried water bottles around and water came from fountains. If anyone reads Reader's Digest. The new one has a "perfect meal" with plenty of anti oxidants. That includes red wine, salmon, and quite a large serving of dark chocolate. I promptly found and finished my chocolate bar that I'd been rationing to an ounce a day.

That's an understatement. <g> Friday, Mary and I were about halfway through L.A. when the skies opened. And it continued all the way to Bakersfield and on into Saturday evening. Sunday was clear for the trip to Tehatchapi, where is appears the railroads had a washout of tracks. Eastbound trains were backed up for miles west of town. We had lunch and continued on 58, where we spotted a large crew laying new rails. And more trains backed up westbound. Still pleasant weather into Boron, where we stopped at the visitors' center and learned all we ever wanted to know about borax, including the original discovery in Death Valley, the 20-mule-team trail through the Mojave Desert, and discovery of borax in Boron. The list of products in the home containing borax is practically endless - soaps, TV & computer parts, fiberglass and wallboard, etc. etc. etc. etc. Stayed in Barstow Sunday evening and continued south early Monday, still with very nice weather. Then the skies opened up Tuesday PM, continuing Wednesday, today and Friday. But we're promised clearing for the weekend. > Question: I was reading a book yesterday and came across > this statement: "She swallowed three aspirin dry, something > that those with arthritis learn early." Am I missing something? For 7-1/2 years in the 1990's I dated a gal who took all her OTC pills dry....and she had no disease or other physical problem. I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis in 1977 and I've never learned to do that, so the statement in the book is not 100% true.....probably not even10% true. ... Marriage license: a noose paper feel better quickly, renee. and if i haven't said so already, welcome to the sandbox! we'll look forward to your return. bet i know who took renee's chocolate! bet it's being inspected, isn't it? and will be returned to you shortly, won't it?---fess up, you know who you are (missy "chocolate inspector") and so do the rest of us!<giggling> kate >I ambled into this group several weeks ago, after two + months of severe > arthritis pain.

I only inspect dark chocolate, especially is the 70% stuff. Renee - sending cyber chicken soup (I'm the Jewish Mom around here). Hoping you are over this bout of the flu soon!
