I soak in a hot bathtub, often with epsom salts all the time. It does help. Thanks

Pain is so difficult to bear. I will keep you in my thoughts. Does warm water help you? Sometimes I take a warmer shower and let the gentle water hit my back and focus on relaxing. I like hot bath water on occasion.

I cannot take pain meds due to an esophagus problem. I am allowed to have arthritis level acetaminophen in extreme situations. I do try to keep mobile. Simple stretches after walking help me.

Hang in there. We are with you.

I'm hurting.

I'm not trying to do too much, but even a little is hard right now.

I think the degenerative disc disease in my spine is wonking out my whole nervous system, and the arthritis in my lumbar/hip is discouraging.

I lost my Meloxicam and the MD didn't renew it.

I DID meet all of this team's goals today. That is a bright side.

I did log everything I ate and came in just slightly below the recommended caloric intake.

I've been grating fresh ginger and sprinkling cinnamon and tumeric onto everything remotely appropriate.

Now I should sleep. One of my challenges.

I am enjoying starting to get to know a few people here.

Thanks

Hi Friends!
I am Sandy Becker, a new team co leader. I received diagnoses of RA, OA, psoratic arthritis, and vitiligo. I did not know how many arthritis forms there were. Gulp! I have a lot to learn.
My RA was in remission 3 months after I was diagnosed. I took my meds, kept active with exercise, and ate sensibly following the Mediteranian Diet (and diabetic diet of my husband). I am a caregiver for him; he is on peritoneal dialysis.

My strengths are my deep faith and positive attitude. I also have Barrett's esophagus so no nsaids for me. Recently I had a robotic hysterectomy. I'm bouncing back nicely. I had to give up my RA meds for a month. So far so good. I have stayed in remission with diet, exercise, hot water, and support gloves to keep my joints from swelling.

I am open to hearing about what troubles you. I'm very new in this role. I want to not only spread the spark, but offer support.

Hi my name is Sara. I am 29 years old. When I was 24, I injured my back, and the MRI not only showed a nasty herniated disk, but also spinal stenosis that was quite extensive. Two years later I had surgery for the injury, and the surgeon was able to help me with the stenosis quite well, although if I stand in place or overdo things, I get extremely stiff. This past May, I injured my knee. They suspected a meniscus tear, but just a few weeks ago, an MRI showed early signs of OA. I am currently in PT, starting an at home program and trying to stay active. I love to do kickboxing, tennis and ballroom dancing, but for the moment, it's not in the cards. Apparently, my early OA is mixed from genetics, inactivity, and now gaining weight.
