Arthritic Critic: Chronically Fabulous !!!!!!!
http://arthriticcritic1.blogspot.com/2013/10/chronically-fabulous.html
Thursday, October 10, 2013. Def: CHRONIC : continuing for a long time; constantly recurring. Def: FABULOUS: extremely good, almost unbelievable, astounding. I've been going through a lot lately, with other sickies in my family and some road blocks with my own treatment, so naturally I have been in my head, thinking, thinking and over analyzing, as I do . and having just been to see Mr. T, my social worker, I emptied my brain on him. This always helps and gives me some clarity after. Or am beginning to.

http://arthriticcritic1.blogspot.com/2015/02/rest-lots-of-fluids.html
Monday, February 9, 2015. Rest and Lots of Fluids? As I write this, I have an incredible headache, which started when I woke up with a sore neck this morning. I heated the naughty neck muscle and it helped, but it was followed by a headache, which brings me to the topic of this post. I'm being good, I'm resting, theoretically good, no?

http://arthriticcritic1.blogspot.com/2014/10/what-about-half.html
Saturday, October 4, 2014. WHAT ABOUT THE HALF? I've been thinking alot lately about the half . you know the increments that we are asked to rate our pain or how much better or worse we are feeling. on a scale of 1 - 10 most times.

Arthritic Critic: Stress? What Stress?
http://arthriticcritic1.blogspot.com/2014/04/stress-what-stress.html
Thursday, April 10, 2014. Everyone has stress, it's a fact and it's relative. For the sake of this post I wanted to share how it pertains to those of us with chronic illnesses. It is such a vicious cycle with being sick = stress, treatment options and paying for them = stress, job and work issues from being sick = stress, adding to financial struggles = stress, family issues or illnesses = stress.

Like it wasn't enough that I couldn't get out of bed and when I was able to sit up, standing and walking to the bathroom brought me to sobs of pain. When I met my rheumatologist and her nurse on my second visit and was told what my course of treatment would be: first, to get off the prednisone (YAY!
