New here and a little bio

[Guest guest]

Just a short intro.

My name is Skeeter, I live in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan, outside

of L'Anse.

I have been selling and buying on Ebay since 1996, and I have a website. I own

several group email lists and belong to a lot more!.

I collect salt & pepper shaker, which I own a list for collectors on

groups. I also have a home based craft business, selling on the internet

and ebay. I moved from Billings Montana to the UP in 1998, quite different

than Montana, but I love it here. I am originally from the Seattle area.

I have just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have been ill for about

9 months and they just finally put a name to what is causing me all this pain.

I also have a cough that is keeping my up at night. I was going to specialists

for the cough and for the pain, I finally got in to see a Rheumatologist this

past month, and I found out it is all connected.

I started on Methotrexate this week and I am continuing my Prednisone. Right

now, my computer and crafting time is cut way back, until I see where this RA is

going. By the way, I am a Senior Citizen. married to my best friend for 4

years. We live in the woods on 40 acres, with the house in the middle of the

property, with no close neighbors. I have 2 sons, 1 granddaughter, 1 grandson

and one great-grandson.

I am curious if a hot tub would be beneficial to RA? I do not have an existing

place to put one, but am really considering looking into them. I don't know

much about them.

I have enjoyed reading the posts and trying to check out all the links and info

that is posted.

That is it for me..............

If you have read this far.................. Thank you!
