I'm in Greenville, my mom-in-law lives in H-ville! Even she complains

about how hot it is, maybe thats why she won't come down here in the

hot summer.

My hubby goes down to Gville 5 nights a week to pick up his semi and he drives

from Gville to Atlanta and back 2x a night pulling a set of doubles.

I like to go down to Silver Bay and eat crab legs!! rofl

If you get a chance to come up, hollar at me.

BTW, I'm doing a craft show this weekend at the Blue Ridge Mall in Hville. I'm

a soapmaker and I make bar and liquid soap, lotion, foamers, lotion bars, lip

balm, and the best body polish on the market (it won't make you tub oily). If

you want to come up, stop by and see me. My booth is Carolina Mountain Soap

Company. I think we are due to have scattered showers over the weekend. I'll

be there Fri, Sat and Sun. I hope to see ya! Be sure to tell your mom to come.

Dawn! Oh my goodness! Are you talking about going to the U of Iowa hospitals?

I just went there and, of course, had a student dr. (or fellow, or something

like that) who told me that I did not have RA but Fibromyalgia. She was not at

all concerned with my disfigured fingers or the pain in the small bones of my

hands and feet either. I wish you good luck, and maybe you could ask about that

specifically- you know, ask " what is going on with my fingers/toes and if it is

nothing to worry about, why is that so? " I have learned that at dr. office-

especially U of IA you have to be very assertive for your own health care and

get your questions answered while you are there. Sorry.. I didn't mean to go on

and on.. I just got excited about another Iowan! Thinking of you!

Don't laugh but I do feel like a vampire hiding from the sun. Most of

my windows are covered with dark curtains, an extra blanket is over the light

colored ones, and I have aluminum foil covering the windows that get the late

afternoon sun. My AC is too small for my upstairs apartment. I noticed that I

can't take the heat anymore. I become light headed when I am outside for more

then a few minutes lately. We have been getting temperatures in the high 90's

with heat indexes in the 100's. Monday it was 100 degrees by noon. I have

noticed it takes longer for the stiffness to go away in the morning because I am

not moving enough during the day.

I do have a question. My flare ups have slowed way down as far as having the RA

hit a joint hard and then going to the next one but my fingers and toes continue

to get worse. My Rumey takes little notice when I tell her that. Why are they

more concerned with the roaming of RA and not the constant pain in the small

joints? Or is it just my Rumey? I have to go to a teaching hospital, not a bad

one but my Rumey is still learning her specialty. I don't have a choice because

Rumeys are far and few between. It takes three months to just get an

appointment.

!!rambling alert!! lol dawn is rambling again lol

thanks for tolerating me
