Thanks Tawny,

No nap today - I guess she wasn't tired. But you're right, they are so very

beautiful.

I am sorry to hear your hurting so bad. I have read there are SO

many meds that are bad or us. Most, I like:( I have a two year old

granddaughter, so I know what your going through today. I hope you

take a nap toady, and get some much needed rest, you deserve it

girl. Babysitting a two year old, is very hard work, they are so

beautiful though. Take care, Tawny

pain - my feet, my ankles, my fingers and wrists - and my HIPS!!! Oh

my gosh I can't even walk up the steps!! My hips have never hurt this

bad. And my wrists - it actually feels like my blood vessels hurt in

them! And I have such a horrible headache! It feels like I have a

hangover! I know I have to just quit buying the chocolate, I'm too

addicted to it! I'm going to try taking a couple fish oil capsules

and see if they work. Well, I'm paying for my sins today, because my

daughter called at 7:30 am to say she was bringing 2 year-old

granddaughter over for me to watch today. I was under the impression

she didn't need me to babysit this week. I didn't sleep all night - I

was on the computer reading about RA again all night. I was just

about ready to lay down when she called. I'm hoping I only have her

till about 3 pm so that I can lay down a bit before my husband gets

home and starts yelling about the shape the house is in.

Tawny,

Boy, you got that right! I've been reading web site after web site. There are

so many different ways that food can affect us. I know I'm just scratching the

surface. But I'm going to give it a try anyhow. I've always been intrested in

this kind of stuff anyhow, I probably should have gotten into medicine, but my

life just didn't work out that way. Well, this will give me my chance to do all

the medical research I ever wanted to do and then some. Too bad I can't get paid

for it! My husband would love that. I've been studying this stuff almost

constantly for the last couple months. My husband and kids are sick of seeing me

on the computer - all day and all night. Well, it could be worse, I could be out

drinking or something, right? Not really. I don't have a car or the money or the

ability to walk anywhere, so I'm stuck here anyhow. Might as well do what I

enjoy, everyone else is... or did... all those years I took care of the kids

while my husband went out - I thought I'd have a little " vacation " when I got

laid off last year - yea right!! No money, no car, and a new pasttime - RA...

what more can I ask for?

I think I'm ready for a nap,

Thanks so much for the recipe. Is there a way to make white chocolate?

(I deleted this question at least 10 times before I got the nerve to put it

through...)

[ ] Re: drug free RA healing approach ONLY!

linda it's probably the sugar and the hydrogenated oil bothering you

more than the chocolate. i use raw coconut butter and mix it with raw

cocoa powder and some honey or agave nectar and it makes a nice fudge

that doesn't hurt my joints.

Prakasha,

Thanks for the recipes!! Any idea how to make white chocolate?

[ ] Re: drug free RA healing approach ONLY!

I do something similar to . I get this wonderful organic,

unsweetened cocoa powder from Frontier. I put a spoon or 2 in a cup,

add just a couple drops of water and a spoon or 2 of maple syrup or

agave. Mix patiently, and it turns into a nice, satisfyingly thick

texture. This really satisfies my " need " for chocolate, doesn't hurt my

joints and keeps me from going nuts and heading for a Hershey bar!

Sometimes I mix in a little all natural, all-fruit (no sugar) cherry

jam. Yummy!
