I am sitting here w/ a lot of time to write this post so I will slow down & make sense. I am so happy to say that I am off my chlesterol medicine as of yesterday. The new doctor I saw yesterday still thinks that the statin may cause the joint pain I have been having for almost a year. It is basically just another pill that I had to take for years that I am glad I am off. Too many pills not always necessary. I am so happy that I might actually start feeling better.
Another side note: I am having trouble getting along at times w/ my husband, yelling & cussing up a storm. I don't what to do except not say anything some of the time. I don't like arguing but sometimes I feel that disagreeing on something isn't a bad thing.
Life is good though. I am blessed beyond belief sometimes. Last year at this time we paid off the loan on our mobile home--long time coming. And, now it is in my name as well as my husband. I actually own my own home for the first time ever!
Life is rough at times. The pain is so excruiating sometimes that I dare not exercise or sometimes get out of bed. I realize though, if I don't move it, I will lose it! I like to spend time exercising even if the pain comes later & it does. If I don't have arthritis, I will find out soon what it is. I have as most of you know, been seeing that arthritis doctor since July & have yet to find out for sure what it is! The problem is that I also have a horrible skin condition--redness all over my face, among other places. I hope that somehow, some way the redness will lessen--I have lobster face. It irks me so much but sometimes makeup really masks it so I can stand to really look in the mirror.
I am doing well dispite all my complaints. Even though it doesn't seem like it, I complain all the time: food's too cold, too hot & not tasty. Too cold or too hot in the house. I prefer warm of course. So many complaints still I can manage to be grateful. Who would have thought?
So, I sit here w/ all this. I am actually out of breath if you can believe that.
Take care of you all & each other. We need each other. We depend on each other. I know I look forward to all the posts & try to read as many as I can.
