Well, looks like I won't have to feel badly anymore because yesterday

he learned how to walk in the things! It's awfully funny to see him

teeter-totter around, but he sure is happy about it. Aren't these kids

just amazing?

Debbie, it took me a long time before I broke down & used the electric carts. Now I'm perfectly comfortable, except when I turn too quickly & nearly mow someone down. My biggest problem is that I can't fit much in the cart. If I'm getting dogfood, toilet paper, etc., I end up with the dogfood wedged between my legs & stuff piled so high I can hardly see! is actually very helpful, especially for a 5 yo. He pushes a small cart & helps me with the heavier items.

Terri,

In regards to grocery shopping, before I was first diagnosed I went with my husband every week rountinely. After the symptoms and diagnosis, I couldn't go at all. By the time I got halfway thru the store, I was hurting so bad, I had to go sit in the car. There was a couple of times that I didn't, and I ended up passing out by the time we got home. That was 4 years ago. Since then my husband goes alone every week. I know he hates it, but he realizes I can't take it. Sometimes I feel so guilty when he gives me dirty looks and gets aggravated when he has to some weeks. I tried to suggest the carts with the seats, but he just won't agree to that. He doesn't want to "look different". It embarasses him. The same with other stores that I can't walk thru. If I go to the mall, I make it thru 2 stores then that's it. I have to home and take a long nap after, just like you.

Whew, did I go off about that subject, I guess your post just hit a nerve! lol

Hugs,

Debbie T.

Bonnie,I agree with Rose. I forgot to include that in my post. I used to workhard all week then sleep all weekend so I could do a great job at work. How screwed up is that. Now I would be happy to only have to sleep onthe weekends. I pushed myself too hard and now I pay for it. When I amflaring I have to sleep 3-4 hours during the day then go back to sleep 9hours a night. Do you think I get much done now? My biggest thing isgrocery shopping; I might sleep the rest of the day after that.I should have gotten my priorities straight first before I got likethis. But I didn't and now I deal with it.

Hi Rose,I have a daily medication log that I use to write down every med time so that I don't forget or take an extra dose. I then file these papers so that if I have a question when I see my dr I can refer back to my med sheets. I also use a medication 7 day (4 slots for each day) container and fill 2 weeks worth at a time. This also reminds me when I am getting close to a refill. I have a yrly calender that is a book type that I keep track of appts. I keep it with me in my purse so that I can refer back to it for when I had certain tests, etc. Blessings,BeckyRose wrote: I was thinking about the fatigue thing & all the ways we devise to deal with it.

Rose,

When it comes to coming up with ways to adapt,

you inspire me!

As to your question " Cant you knit with a ball bat? "

hahahahaha

You should see the size of the needles I use.

For knitting they are almost the size of a quarter & I crochet with

one the size of my arthritic thumbs using 3 strands of yarn so my

less than perfect eyes can make out what I am doing.

At first I resented them almost as much as the sponge padded

eating utensils I some times have to resort to.

Surprisingly I found that they make the softes fluffiest items that

are super cuddly.

Who'da thunk?

Also my house is small & over crowded. Much more so during rainy

weather. When my back & hips simply toss in the praverbial towel.

Thats when the computer chair becomes my best friend. Bless it as

it has wheels.

Carol

probably everyone already does it, but i have a

problem with choking when I drink or if something

takes alot of chewing. The gastroenterologist says

that it is the sarc causing my esophagus not to work

properly. I use a straw with nearly everything I

drink and that helps alot, and I am extremely careful

about things like cheesesticks & steak. Connie
