Mornin. We have 39 disgusting degrees under disgustingly clear skies at 3:30am. It's supposed to get into the disgusting upper 50's today, on a Friday here in Iowa. As I got up, I looked out the window and see nothing but disgusting brown ground. It's December in Iowa. I WANT SNOW AND COLDER TEMPS. I turned on the 'puter only to find Obama is STILL the "president". How disgusting.
Buenos Dias amigos mios It's a grey morning this morning here on the borders of North London, feeling quite cold too.. I've got the heating on at 24 degrees c...looks like we might be getting a little mist too.. I'm trying my best to keep my feelings of anxiousness down,this morning..I have an appointment with the consultant this afternoon for the results of my recent scans and tests...and I just can't shrug off the feeling that it's not going to be good news...so I've never asked this of anyone online but if you could send up a little prayer for me that things aren't as bad as I fear they may be, I'd be very grateful. I hope you all have a wonderful day...and be kind to those you meet on the way up through life, you never know whose help you might need on the way down
Good morning. Got the old bones moving and took a nice cool walk this morning as the sun was rising. Beautiful day so far. Having my car detailed today. It is a mess, so they have their work cut out for them. Have a good day.
Good morning everyone! Raining and only going to be 54 today and I'm loving it. It's dreary days that lift my spirits Since we have about 300+ days of sunshine in Fresno it can get to be too much. Praying for good results for you, Holly...I would be a basket case. I get anxious waiting for results from a simple blood test. Also love your quote about kindness....so very true. Have a wonderful day!
Will do, Holly. Meanwhile, believe in all things good. Good morning everyone. "It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood".
HI Folks...thank you all so much for your kind words and thoughts... While I was in the waiting to be called to be seen by the consultant at the ENT clinic I was trying to update my work diary, and I was shaking so much I could hardly read what I'd written.. Anyway... I didn't mention it before but the reason I was so worried was because there was every reason for them to believe I may have had Cancer ....and I am very pleased to report to you all that I have not got Cancer., and that's a HUGE relief... ..however, sadly it's not all good news,..... I'm told I have what they are almost certain is Rheumatoid Arthritis in the soft tissue and jawbone of my face . neck and throat., which apparently is very rare ....so they have started me immediately on a course of steroids, until I can get referred to see the RA consultants in a few weeks . I googled it all when I got home and there in Black and white after all this time are my very symptoms I've been complaining off for months...on the RA website...wow!! I had tried looking up everything with my symptoms in the last few months and nothing ever could be found , but it never would have occurred to me that of all things it would be RA....but as soon as I had a name for it, I found exactly my symptoms, and other sufferers Has anyone here heard of anyone having Rheumatoid arthritis in the soft tissue and bones of the face?
OMG, Holly. I've never heard of this before. How will they treat it, or don't you know yet? Thank God, no cancer. You had to be very worried.
I was waiting all day to hear the outcome of your tests Holly. So very glad it's not cancer and like Dave I've not heart of RA of the soft tissue and bones of the face. Googling didnt come up with anything except general RA. Hope the treatment helps. Hugs Holly!
Good news about that C word. Check with your doctor first but I've read that RT can be cured naturally, without meds, in 3 months according to Dr. Fuhrman who is on the board of Whole Foods here in the US (he has a magical nutritarian soup). You can google his name along with "rheumatoid arthritis cure" and you might find some interesting info. Also Dr. Weil.
No idea of the long term Dave until I see the RA consultants . While I'm waiting for that appointment to come through the ENT Consultant has given me a 3 week course of Steroids.. (prednisololone) to take 8 daily...40mg total, in the interim
