Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Dreamer: Absolutely, it moves around! I never know when I wake up in the morning what will be hurting, will it last all day in that area, or will it change again by the end of the day? The tops of my feet and ankles are pretty much constantly painful, but the rest comes and goes, and jumps from joint to joint, flare to flare. Those rheumys are not worth their weight in salt - odd, they say? Not odd at all, in fact it is pretty much a constant in any case of RA! Hang in there - Kathe in CA Kathe " To ride a horse is to borrow freedom. " __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Not to rag on the general pulic, because I do realize they just dont understand, but dont you love it when people ask " so, where do have arthritis? " Then they go on about a bum knee from highschool football. Or an achey elbow from badmitten at the summer-house! Ah....ignorance is bliss I guess. --- Kathe Sabetzadeh <lv2ryd@...> wrote: > Hi Dreamer: > > Absolutely, it moves around!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I do not always say anymore that I have RA. SOmetimes I say an autoimmune disorder, sometimes, a rheumatic illness, sometimes,- a progressive joint disorder. Cuz yeah, lots of people did similar around me....or would tell me buck up everyone gets arthritis, oor other weird things they would say to me. I get weeary, too, when I hafta use my scooter or walker or a crutch or wear a splint or glove...people will ask what I did to myself.or they will say hey you did not have THAT yesterday (or last week) :-( - In , Hertling <mchertling@...> wrote: > > Not to rag on the general pulic, because I do realize > they just dont understand, but dont you love it when > people ask " so, where do have arthritis?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Everybody things RA is the same as OA - they don't distinguish between the 2 since they don't know anything about RA. I always try to explain, but nobody listens.........just say - boy, I wish I had YOUR type of arthritis and they perk up a little since it makes them wonder!
