Rheumatoid Arthritis

Another long day for me. My joint just started to un-stiff at 1:00 this after noon and I've been up since 5:30 this morning. My left foot hurts as well. When I walk on it, it feel like there is a swollen or pulled mussel on top of the foot. My knees where also weak this morning, although I was too stubborn to take my cane to work. I think people look at me funny when I have to use. I think all of this is currently due to the bad snow storm we are suppose to get this Friday. It should only be three inches but down here in the mountain and skinny roads it becomes a big mess because they can't salt everywhere that needs it. It very hard to go up hills covered in ice. I have still managed to almost get through the work day, I have an hour before it time to go and it there are no phone calls coming in, I wrote an article on Associated Content and one for Ehow so far. And I'm currently working on this post for the RA blog. So even with the stiffness and pain I keep p...

I have just discovered an interesting story on WebMD about a lady with a baby who found out she had RA. She was have many difficulties after getting the OK from her doctor, due to breast feeding, she tried Boswellia and Fish Oil to naturally fight the Rheumatoid Arthritis. I found this very interesting as I had not heard of Boswellia before this. I found out that Boswellia helps with a nice list of thing including Rheumatoid, Osteoarthritis, Menstrual craps, and Asthma. Boswellia is also more gentle on stomachs then other non-steroid drugs and there doesn't seem to be any known medicine interactions that were know. (Please ask your doctor just to be safe.) After about a week many people are rating this very high saying it is amazing. Plus Boswellia is not very expensive at all. I found it on Amazon (link in picture below) for only $3.69 for 100 caps that have to be take twice a day. Therefor only an expensive of $3.69 every two months. I'm very excited to try this medication an...

I have been trying to get caught up with my on-line work but I have just been plainly tired and sore. Rheumatoid Arthritis flare ups seem to be worse for me just before and during my monthly time, which is most likely the reason why I'm so tired right now. People can notice that I'm sore and tired too. Especially in the morning when I'm moving slowly. I heard those wonderful remarks today from people; "You not old enough to feel that way" or "I'm older then you are and I can move faster then that". I've never understood these remarks and they really drive me crazy. "Yes I'm young for moving so slow and I'm happy you can move better then I can, thank for pointing that out." I usually try not to be so rude but that is what I really wish I could say. Lately I stuck with comment like "I keep telling my bones that but they just are not listening." Many things can contribute to making RA hurt. One thing is stress. It has b...

One of the first things I have learned about living with RA and no medical is to find other ways to help to ease the pain. Days like today, rainy, tends to make my joints more painful. With spring hopefully around the corner there will be more rainy days. With that in mind I was thinking about restocking my glucosamine. Glucosamine is a great supplement for anyone with Arthritis. This has help me and many other people I know to reduce and improve the condition of their joints. After taking Glucosamine for a little over a week I found my joint have less inflammation and pain. My husband eventually also got some arthritis in his hands. He also gave the glucosamine a try. Two weeks later he told me his hand were feeling much better. There are many herbs and vitamins that can help but when I'm telling people about who to help with arthritis, glucosamine is the first one that I tell them about. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucosamine “A 2009 scientific review of ava...

This week has been particularly long. With the wonderful cold weather we have been having I have been pushing myself even harder. Now I'm left sore and tired. I have been taught how to crochet by my coworkers. We are very slow at work right now so we have time to crochet between calls. I'm surprised at how much crocheting made my hand hurt at first. I did not give up though. I decided that this would be a good exercise for my hands. I do type at home and at work, but crocheting seems to use more or different mussels. Each day I would crochet until my hands hurt. Right now I can crochet almost all day long until the end of the work day. If I can keep this up I'll have my first crocheted blanket by spring. I have listed many good article links on the blog today. Some are for grout. Grout and RA seem to be closely related. Many things that we do to ease the Rheumatoid pain will work for a grout suffer and some of there techniques may help us with are RA. With the recall of...
