Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Apparently I have had this for years, but it has been so mild it was never diagnosed. I haven't been able to bowl for almost thirty years, and I had to give up riding about ten years ago because it hurt my knees so much. But it didn't really affect my daily life. My hands hurt when they got cold, and it hurt to knock on a door, but I could do almost everything I wanted to. I didn't really know there were two kinds of arthritis. I just thought I was getting old! My doctor says it may go back to it's mild state after this stress-induced flare. It seems to be improving a bit, but that may be the Mobic. I take 7.5 mg once a day and it makes me able to function, but some things are still difficult. It hurts to pull wet laundry from the washer, so my husband, who is slowly recovering from encephalitis caused by west nile virus has taken over the laundry. We are quite a pair!
