Hi Helen,

Glad to hear that your mum's home!

R.A - is it rheumatoid Arthritis?

My exams are just over today! Now lots of email to catch up on, and no time,

busy with new house! But great in the sense that I do not have to worry

about studying now....

Groan.......

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More time messing around with my sis's new computer too, before she takes it

back to her workplace!

House update: My writing desk is up! Our common wardrobe is up! I am just

hoping that they will install the partition wall in my room, the 'castle'

cupboard for my tv, players, etc. and altar, then we can move in first! Just

in case I had not mentioned before, we had hacked off the common wall of 2

bedrooms, so that we have an enlarged single bedroom to be shared with my 2

sisters......... Sigh, they just refused to let me have one room to myself,

so this is the solution. Coming soon will be our fight to the allocation of

wardrobe and cupboard space.....

Hi Helen,

Sorry to hear about the headaches...... take care! Hope you had not done

anything to worsen them? As for myself, I am real busy with shifting things

to and fro from old house, now am in the middle of a flare up of headaches

again, I guess.

Short physiotherapy update - the therapist tried to check my strength by

asking me to lift up a 6 pound dumbbell/weight, asking me to lift it all the

way up, straigthening my arms. I kind of did it, but very shakily, and the

therapist had her arms around the weight, worried that I would just drop the

weight in front of her. She seemed horrified that I was not able to lift up

the weight, so she started me on this gym in the rehab centre where I go

everyweek, and she would be next to me guiding me.

Have not got my teaching cert yet. Results of the exam will only be out in

June. Will be reporting to the school I am posted to for teaching coming

Friday though.

Please send my regards to your stepmum, hope she will feel much better real

soon!

You take care too, ok?

Ling-sure hope that you can rebuild strength to lift. I am a fdormer

nursese aide and med tech and I used top lift very heavy residents at

times and now can't even carry a 12 pack of pop-sure does get

discouraging at times. carol

How's the court issue? Hope everything went ok!

I can lift my arms up without shaking.... without holding anything of

course. But they do get shaky after I do it repeatedly for a few times.

Hi Carol,

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Honestly, it never occurred to me that my

arms are so weak until that day when the physiotherapist assessed me. Now I

see her for exercise sessions every week. It also seems that my right hand

is also much weaker than my left hand.

How are you?

Hi Ling! Do you ever have pain in your shoulders, down your arms, or

numbness or tingling in any fingers? Ever had an MRI of your neck?

I ask because sometimes you can have a nerve entrapment cause this.

All the nerves & vessels pass thru a very small opening in the

shoulder girdle to your arms. When you lift your arm, it can pinch or

cut off, if there is inflammation, and a nerve or vessel is

swollen/enlarged. Can come from a bulging disk in your neck. You can

actually track it by which fingers are affected, if it is a nerve.

I had horrible migraines for years, then weak arms, then sore

shoulder- couldnt lift my arm very high without a lot of pain. I had

cortisone shots in the shoulder, immobilized, they thought it was a

torn rotator cuff, bursitis, tendonitis, lupus related(cause it would

come & go)............ Finally got an MRI, and it was a bad disk. He

said the nerve was huge, from probably years of impingement. Any

exercise, like physical therapy, work, made it worse. Cant imagine

what moving could do! Or writing on the chalkboard.

Just had to mention the possibility, it took me years to figure it

out, and I knew this stuff.

How's it going? Love,

Hi Helen,

They have no idea why my arms are weak..... but the physiotherapist believes

that my weak upper back muscles could be a cause of my headaches......

Almost done moving, just need to unpack now.

Down with a bad headache, can hardly keep my head up.... talk to ya later.

Hope you are feeling better now? Sorry I am really behind on my emails.....

Hi ,

Please forgive me for my very slow reply. Been really very busy lately.

You asked me about any pain in my shoulders or fingers... no, I had not

experienced that. But lots of aches there though. Had an MRI of my neck

about 3 years ago.... showed a bulging disk in my cervical spine, and was

diagnosed with cervical spondylosis. My previous pain doc did explain that

my headaches could be due to a pinched nerve.

Thanks so much for sharing with me your experience..... that does sound

quite similar to mine.

How have you been?

Ling

<<Hi Ling! Do you ever have pain in your shoulders, down your arms, or

numbness or tingling in any fingers? Ever had an MRI of your neck?

I ask because sometimes you can have a nerve entrapment cause this.

All the nerves & vessels pass thru a very small opening in the

shoulder girdle to your arms. When you lift your arm, it can pinch or

cut off, if there is inflammation, and a nerve or vessel is

swollen/enlarged. Can come from a bulging disk in your neck. You can

actually track it by which fingers are affected, if it is a nerve.

I had horrible migraines for years, then weak arms, then sore

shoulder- couldnt lift my arm very high without a lot of pain. I had

cortisone shots in the shoulder, immobilized, they thought it was a

torn rotator cuff, bursitis, tendonitis, lupus related(cause it would

come & go)............ Finally got an MRI, and it was a bad disk. He

said the nerve was huge, from probably years of impingement. Any

exercise, like physical therapy, work, made it worse. Cant imagine

what moving could do! Or writing on the chalkboard.

Just had to mention the possibility, it took me years to figure it

out, and I knew this stuff.

How's it going? Love, >>

Hi Ling, hope you are feeling better.

I got an over the door neck traction thing- a hanging machine. It

really does help. Still have to use it once in a while. an inversion

table is much more comfortable, but very hard to find. I have seen a

homemade one, but no luck here yet. Tried upside down on the ironing

board, on the stairs, but kept sliding down. My headaches would

subside as soon as the pressure was off. I used to ask my hubby to

pull my head off, and that helps too, as long as he was pulling up on

it. I really had a bad time after riding in boats- the bouncing I

guess. Hope you can find some relief. And dont let them hurt you at

PT. Take it easy. Love,

Hi ,

I often feel bad when I engage in lots of activity too, especially after

running, taking a bus ride, I guess that is due to the bouncing too.

However, the doc did try to see if traction works for me, but it did not

seem to...I'm very glad it does for you! Sometimes I kind of give up trying

to find a way to stop those headaches.

Take care,

Ling
