Re: MTX questions .. THAKS all of you!

April 30, 2004

Guess I need to be a little more patient? <sigh> LOL, thats so hard for me.

:-)

I feel like life is on hold, and I just want to jump back into it. This week

was extra bad cuz my shoulders were both flaring extra bad and I could not move

at all. The kids had needs and all I could do was look at them. Well, OK maybe

not " needs " like anything serious, but.....

the yard needs weeding and mowing, the laundry is piled to the ceiling (well

almost, LOL) Dishes are falling out of the sink. Even writing the checks for

the bills was not possible earlier in the week, gosh- even holding a telephone

was a problem! It can really mess with a persons frame of mind. Even aside

from the pain.

Thank you all for your encouragement. Everyone here is so kind.

turning into stumps, and my wrists looked like my hands were going to fall off.

It didn't reverse any damage, but did stop the acceleration.

shoulders and ankles and neck. The pain level is up at 8 again.
