my little life half way human arthritislegpain com

I have spent the past two days not bending anymore than I've needed too. I've been stretching and bending at the back to try to get some relief in my ass. The trouble is the back but my ass and leg is on fire and like a electric shock. I've been stretching and I started to wonder if I causing more of a problem the more I read and learned. Just think I might of been aggravating it even more.
Wednesday I ate lunch took a Prilosec and then Advil later. By 3pm my stomach was on fire, but stomach felt like it was the side of a over blown up balloon and it hurt like hell. Took 2 gas X's for the bloat and I thought for sure at one point I was going to the ER room. I tried like hell not to throw up as that's just what my lower back needs is me heaving. I got the foamies like I've never had before. I must of burped 400 times as it was that or puke.Fire then was coming up my throat. I'm done with the Advil. That was my warning sign to stop taking the Advil. I did it for 8 days and I'm not taking another. I spent the last two days doing anything I could do standing up straight and not bending the spine to try to let that disk heal and lots of ice 3-4 times a day. Not doing my floors and cleaning my house is driving me crazy. I didn't think I was a neat freak, but I guess I am some what. Because that spot on the floor over that has been driving me crazy the past two days. Amazing how many times you bend over in a day. When you can't use something you sure do miss it. This is helping. The pain is not full time anymore and the swelling is going down each day. The trouble is that because of my hip and arthritis my habits bending are because I can't squat. That left hip will not allow me to. I have limits and have been living with them for years. Things got easier as I lost weight but the fact is I still have lost range of motion in my left leg/hip. Which now as I get old is let me know~ I'm doing it all wrong. duh. So I must get stronger in the back and work my range of motion and make it work for me. First I must get well. For a girl that has been freed from weight and moving after all these years to be slapped down has made me so sad this month. This has been one of the longest months of my life. I've shed too many tears the past few weeks. Today I had my son pick up the area rugs before school and roll them up for me so I could get some house work done that I have been avoiding. It's not raining yet so after this I'm going to go for a short walk outside as today if my back is straight I feel half way like me again. The pain comes and goes and the only way I know I'm getting better is when I think back to 8-10 days ago. I still hurt but not like that. I will check in with my Dr. next week.

So lets talk about something else. I'm ready to go to the light house and take a walk. That's my next hike I'm planning. I'm going to Jon's game tonight it's in the next town and close by, without traveling with the team. I might just stand the whole game rather than sit on the bleachers. And for a good laugh. I'm sitting here blogging on ice, sitting straight with my really cool DNKY jeans on, the funny part is so the ice can get to my back my pants are around my knees. If I were to get caught like this and my hubby came home.... he would never believe me. LOL

Peace out... be well.

While some regard the main purpose of a Spa day merely to be cosmetic, being pampered as part of a well deserved beauty regime, others see it more in terms of the direct and demonstrable health and wellbeing benefits that can be delivered.One of the best and most universal techniques that helps to maintain physical and mental wellbeing is massage.Some leading spas have perfected a series of products that can be used at home without needing a therapist and many of these products are as used in the spas own treatments. So you can at least obtain spa quality products to pamper hands, feet, legs, face or any other part of the body, but there is no real substitute for a skilled massage under the hands of an experienced therapist.A health Spa can make you feel good about your body, you feel better about yourself and the world around you. Women especially who take care of themselves have an inner glow that shows on their faces and in the way they carry themselves. Spa days are as
much about providing the time, space and expertise for women to renew that glow as they are about using specific techniques and regimes for maintaining health and vitality. Massage is one treatment that promotes a sense of relaxation and well being, reducing tension and anxiety, but also has many practical health benefits like improving blood circulation, stimulating the lymphatic system, relieving muscle cramps and spasms and helping with pain management in conditions such as arthritis and sciatica.Spas that offer massage depend to some extent on the skill of the therapists and the facilities of the spa itself, but you also need you to be in the right frame of mind to make the experience a complete success. Aside from being beneficial to you organism and one of the best beauty gifts you could buy, soothing face massages, revitalising leg massage, reviving neck, shoulder and back massage leave you feeling fabulous all over. The fusion of eastern and western massage usin
g pressure point techniques and specially blended oils can further enhance the entire experience.

matties blog and his fight against osteosarcoma arthritislegpain com

Friday, January 29, 2010


Tonight's picture was taken when Mattie was one year old. Mattie wasn't crawling, walking, or standing independently by this point. Nonetheless, he was full of energy, and I could tell he wanted to learn to walk, and three months later, did take his first steps. I particularly love this picture, because when Mattie was five or six years old, we had him pose for the same picture. Clearly you could see the amazing growth in Mattie within a few short years and Mattie always loved to compare these pictures.


Poem of the day: I Can Almost By Victoria Walker


I can almost see you smile
In the shadows of my mind,
Bringing to me the peace
I have struggled so hard to find.
I can almost hear your voice
Telling me "Be not saddened nor afraid,
Just remember all the good,
How we loved and laughed and played."
I can almost feel your touch
Wiping away my every tear
As I stand among my shattered dreams
Letting me know you both are still near.
I can almost hear you say,
"One day, you'll be here too.
Live the life you have before you
For (I) will be here, waiting to welcome you."

I want to first acknowledge our blog readers. Mattie's blog gets a consistent 300 or more hits each day. Thank you for your support, it means more to us than you probably ever could know. In addition, today I received a lovely e-mail from a woman named Lana, who lost her only daughter three years old.I do not know Lana, but she reads Mattie's blog. I appreciated her e-mail a great deal, and also appreciated her honesty, that the pain doesn't go away after losing a child. It confirms my gut instinct. Lana's message is below, so you can all read it. In the midst of great sadness, I am humbled and honored that people continue to check in with us, and most importantly continue to remember my dear Mattie.

It was a busy social day for me. I met Christine (Campbell's mom) and Ellen (Charlotte's mom) for lunch to celebrate Christine's birthday. We had a nice time catching up with each other, hearing about one another's lives, and talking about the upcoming March for an Osteosarcoma Miracle. The lovely part about the three of us, is we are able to pick up our conversations from when we last met. I also appreciate their willingness to talk about Mattie, and the fact that they do not shy away from these moments. I have a feeling, we have now established a tradition with each other, to celebrate our birthdays, and also to work at getting together more often. This is definitely something that has changed within me. Prior to Mattie's illness and death, I would always think I was too busy to get together with friends, but these personal connections with those around me have become crucial in my life. This is just one of many priorities that have shifted for me.

Despite it being frigid in Washington, DC this afternoon, after lunch, I went for a walk. Definitely not typical for me, because I despise the cold. But when I have a lot on my mind, walking does help to clear it. I spent the evening with Ann's family. Her daughter, Katie, was in her school's performing arts show. I had the pleasure of hearing Katie perform Fur Elise on the piano, and I also heard some of her friends (who I have met over the past several months) perform pieces on the piano, sing, and even dance. I simply like to hear music and love dance, so I enjoyed this opportunity to see the next generation embrace the arts. Learning core subject matters is definitely the focus of schools today, but the beauty of learning and appreciating the arts are crucial. Expressing one's self creativity in and of itself is therapeutic. I have certainly learned this the hard way. While Mattie was ill and even in his death, I find that I turn to some of my creative talents to get me through. Therefore, I am happy to see this vital component celebrated in Mattie's school. I think it takes a great deal of courage to perform in front of other people, and these middle schoolers did a wonderful job in front of their school community.

While I was at the show, Peter got together with Tad. Tad is Junko's husband (and I know many of my faithful readers know who Junko is, she is our friend who would give me massages in the hospital). Peter and Tad are both New Englanders and have a ton in common. I am happy Peter has this social outlet, and I think it is so important to be able to talk with those we feel close to about thoughts and feelings.

I would like to end tonight's posting with three messages. The first message is from Mattie's oncologist and our friend, Kristen. Kristen wrote, "I ran into the grocery store near my house last night a little after six and couldn't help but notice the "Mattie Moon" staring down at me from the sky. The moon will never be the same. I think of you often, although I may not write you as often as I would like. I still can't help but reflect on your strength and your abilities to move through each day. I know it is not easy for you but from the outside, looking in, you continue to bless those around you simply by giving us your time and your thoughts, and continuing to share your Mattie with us through your words. He is ever-present to so many of us."

The second message is from my friend, Charlie. Charlie wrote, "Thank you for the story about the fish tank. Every time I see a tank (many restaurants I frequent have them), I always think of Mattie and the fish that would not live on without him. Now I will look a little deeper and see if I can find a Mr. Aggressive or a Nervous Guy or see what else may strike me as interesting or funny behavior. It is clear to me from your blog that you shared so much with Mattie about nature, people and all sorts of things that he will never be far away in your thoughts or your heart. In today¡¯s practice our instructor reminded us to be patient and that changes can only be seen over time and sometimes only in retrospect. What holds for my practice holds for grieving as well. As you look day to day, I am sure it seems as though often you are where you were 20 weeks ago and then a day will be a little better and another one worse. However, when you get a year or two out you will look back and see a difference from where you were to where you are. The loss will still be there, the scar will still be there but you will be a survivor. I wish you the strength and the endurance to continue the journey; you have the courage. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers."

The third message is from Lana, the person I told you about in the beginning part of this posting. Thank you Lana for writing to me today! Lana wrote, "I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing worse than losing a child. And no other child can take the place of the one we have lost. I have hundreds of grief poems. My daughter...my only child...was killed more than 3 years ago...and the pain never goes away. We simply learn to live with it like we live with arthritis. I wish so much I could take your pain away. Please contact me if you wish. Hugging you tightly .....and knowing Mattie is shining his light overheard for all of us to see and to follow!!".

cheapneasy lowcarb living of carbs and health my last 10 days arthritislegpain com

The last 10 days have been a blur of doctor's appointments, most in another city nearly an hour away, and other things that have taken me away from home way too much ¨C and therefore eaten at restaurants, mostly fast food, way too much ¨C and lots of stress-inducing realities of life that have taken priority over what I eat, way too much. When you're talking about life-and-death issues concerning your beloved spouse, somehow whether I eat a bun on my hamburger doesn't seem like such a big deal.

Of course, I still ate low carb foods at home, but too much carby food during that chaotic and emotionally draining time for my health. I have arthritis in my knees (and elsewhere) already, and right now I also have bursitis in my right leg, so I live with pain from thigh to toe most of the time. I'm used to the grinding and spasms caused by the arthritis in my spine and pain that comes with a couple of other serious medical conditions. But usually, typically, not all at once ¨C and certainly not in addition to bursitis.

So as I've made my way through the last 10 days I've felt worse and worse and worse, not making connections between what I was eating and how my body was feeling, until a couple of days ago I felt as though my system was simply giving up, and my body dying off. I was bloated and painful (I have permanent nerve damage to my digestive tract, end-to-end, from some severe food poisoning a couple of years ago, so a little bloating and pain is nothing new.), and food wasn't moving through my system. I had a nearly constant mild but irritating headache. My vision wasn't blurry but it wasn't quite right either. I developed a UTI. I wasn't feeling rested when I awoke, and was logy and tired all day long. By the end of this time, both of my legs felt like lead weights, and when I looked down I fully expected them to be three times their normal size.

After my husband's surgery on Monday (2 days ago), when I had had a "healthy" chicken-and-veggie pizza at the hospital cafeteria (they didn't have low carb offerings, only low fat), I was sick. I came home and slept nearly the rest of the day, then all night. I couldn't think straight, and felt that I was dying ¨C literally ¨C that my body had given up. And, now that the surgery was over and my mind could start to move back to other things, I realized it had to be the carbs and there was only one way to find out.

Yesterday I ate a salad with bacon, chicken, and ranch dressing for lunch, and didn't get hungry ¨C so didn't eat ¨C the rest of the day. Today I had a steak for lunch, and raw cauli with lowcarb caesar dressing for an afternoon snack. While I'm still working on the logy feeling, my legs are back to normal. Ingesting all the fat without the carbs for 2 days, and my system is starting to clean out again, the pain is lessening,and the bloat will soon be gone. (It needs a lot of fat ¨C rather than the drugs the doctor prescribed ¨C to keep things moving through, since peristalsis is weak to nonexistent in various areas throughout.) The headache is gone and my eye (blind in one eye anyway) feels right again. My legs are back to their normal, except for the bursitis which has me near-tears but at least they aren't like dead weight to drag around...and my UTI (with the help of cranberry supplement and liquids) will probably begin to resolve as well, if past history is any indication.

In short, the first 2 days back on low carb is resolving most of the physical issues that had been accumulating.

"Let this be a lesson to you" they say...I can't put it better myself.

It¡¯s been a difficult few months with Pippa, however this week I thought I was going to lose her.arthritis leg pain

Before Christmas her arthritis was bad, so with vets approval I increased her Previcox to max dose, knowing that this was the final step I could do with it. After a few weeks she had stomach trouble,arthritis leg pain probably an ulcer. She was vomiting blood/bile and not keeping food down. She was treated with antibiotics, antiseptin and anti-emetics which stopped the vomiting, but she had to stop her Previcox so her arthritis flared up really badly as expected. She was put on Tramadol which didn't really help.arthritis leg pain After a while I was able to re-start a low dose of previcox, and 2 weeks after that go up to a medium dose. So far so good vomiting-wise, however, her legs had not improved. Last week (Wednesday) I went back to the vet because Pippa was very lame,arthritis leg pain I mean almost not using her leg at all. I had to carry her out to the car and from the car in to the vets surgery (although she still managed to drag me out again after!!). The vet basically said that all I could do was to hit the arthritis with everything and use other meds to protect her stomach, and this really was last chance. He geve her Losec and antepsin for her stomach, and previcox and tramadol for the arthritis.arthritis leg pain Max doses of all. I should add that Pippa has never tolerated Rimadyl or Metacam, both make her sick very quickly so counter-productive to try those. He wasn't overly hopeful and I know (from one comment) that he would have PTS there and then If I'd agreed, but I wasn't ready for that.
arthritis leg pain

Thursday was dreadful. Pippa couldn't put her foot (RF is her worst leg) to the floor at all and her other legs couldn't compensate. By the late afternoon I was carrying her outside to relieve herself, she couldn't walk at all and could barely get up off the floor. I rang the vet and decided (call me selfish if you will) that I would have one last evening with her,arthritis leg pain and would ring back in the morning to arrange a vet to come to the house.

Friday morning, Pippa got up, took herself outside and then came back in demanding breakfast.arthritis leg pain Still lame, very lame, but getting herself up and about. So I called the vet and said there was slight improvement, so I would see how the day went. I couldn't bring myself to PTS when I'd seen improvement,arthritis leg pain what if the improvement continued?? I also checked out the vets availability over the weekend if I needed them. (Really didn't want to end up using an unknown vet from the emergency cover practice.)

The weekend was much the same, still lame.arthritis leg pain Sunday night after much soul searching and heart breaking I came to my decision.

So, I called the vet Monday morning and arranged for him to come out in the afternoon, as he had an MRI scan booked in for the morning.arthritis leg pain

All day I was watching Pippa whilst keeping myself busy, and she was lame and hobbling.

arthritis leg pain
At 4pm the vet came.

My fraud of a mongrel ran to the door, jumped all over the vet and almost forgot to limp at all!(Almost, not quite).arthritis leg pain

Vet stayed a while, we had a long chat and basically he thought that although yes, she is struggling with her legs, she looks like she's coping on the current meds and if I wanted to,arthritis leg pain I could see how the next few weeks go but he didn't think that she was hideous and in tonnes of pain. He would still have done it if I wanted to because he also said that part of the decision was related to how I am coping, but that wasn't an option. I could never PTS my dog for my own benefit.

Since then, Pippa has been sick a few times, which could mean that her stomach isn't coping with the anti-inflammatory and pain killing drugs that her legs need. The next few days will tell. She is not distressed by being sick, nor is she lethargic or looking unwell.arthritis leg pain Her main concern when she is sick is whether or not she can eat it again before I get to her. This means that I can give it another day or so to see what happens next.

At least I can be sure now that I have done everything possible to ensure Pippa is OK for as long as poss.

Oh by the way, obviously all that wasn't enough because Tarka started pee-ing blood 2 days before Christmas, (Thank goodness for snow ¨C that's the only way I knew!!) She was treated for Cystitis (lots of bacteria in her wee) and after the antibiotics were finished her urine sample was fine. However after Christmas she had blood in the wee again (thank goodness for snow again!) and this time she had her bladder scanned. They found a lump and operated to remove it.arthritis leg pain For a few days I honestly thought I was going to lose both my dogs, but thankfully Tarka's lump was a benign polyp. She will have to be monitored regularly because the blood in her urine was the only sign I saw and polyps can reoccur, I saw no other symptoms at all so without snow I have no other way of knowing if there's blood or not except to do urine tests, probably every month for the rest of her life.

health and lifestyle magazine new moon movie review the arthritislegpain com


The movie opens with a shot of a full moon and ends with Bella taking a breath ¨C and,arthritis leg pain in between for the fans of the saga, there's everything they could want. But for those who are most likely not 100% bona fide Team Edward/ Team Jacob, there could be big eye rolling and wondering what on earth the ongoing obsession is about.

arthritis leg pain
The story take up where Twilight left off ¨C with Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (R Patz) deeply in love and on the eve of Bella's 18th birthday. In spite of her protestations, the Cullens throw Bella a birthday party ¨C but a paper cut sees Bella shed a few blood, which sees Edward's brother Jasper try to take her life.

As Edward ends up hurting Bella while trying to defend her, he decides it's safer for him to be out of her life ¨C for good.

Destroyed by the refusal of her first love, Bella falls apart ¨C enter Jacob (Taylor Lautner) who plugs the hole in her heart (despite hiding a secret about himself) with companionship and sworn oaths of loyalty.arthritis leg pain But Bella finds he's not enough and when she discovers that thrill seeking and becoming an adrenaline junkie allows Edward to emerge to her, Bella choose to live life on the edge to be with her one true love.

Danger for Bella is just around the bend though ¨C with vampire Victoria out for revenge after the death of her mate (whom the Cullens dispatched in the first Twilight) and hot on Bella's trail. A series of mis-communications leads Edward to believe Bella's dead and forces him to give up himself at the hands of the vampire clan,arthritis leg pain The Volturi .

Can Bella save Edward in time? And more highly, will she sacrifice her burgeoning relationship with Jacob for the star cross love of her life?Some films are review proof ¨C and the latest in the Twilight franchise is one of those. Regardless of how critic see it,arthritis leg pain New Moon will be a box office phenomenon.

Whereas New moon introduced the franchise and set the font up, you'd expect a sequel to ramp up the action and the stakes. However,arthritis leg pain New Moon is a slight side step on that franchise path as it's about setting up the Jacob/Edward/Wolf pack/Vampire issues which will play out all through the rest of the novels/films. So, while there is a bit more action than the original film, there's still a lot of foreboding, plotting and signpost to be done.

And that's perhaps where director Chris Weitz fumbles the Twilight ball a little (in the eyes of a non-obsessive Twihard) ¨C there are scenes of aching moment of love and loss, impartial by a sweeping tinkling piano score ¨C which to the casual viewer seem cliched and unoriginal; some of the newcomers in the Wolf Pack are not the strongest actors ¨C but given their buffness and penchant for wandering around shirtless, you would picture they're no more than eye candy.

arthritis leg pain
To be honest, the major disappointment is the Volturi ¨C early on they're alluded to as Vampire nobility who rule with power and fear and yet it's only Dakota Fanning's Jane who comes off as influential and menacing; Michael Sheen's Aro verges on hammy creepiness ¨C his early menace is soon lost by a lot of clasping hands and wide red eyes.

Yet, there's also much to esteem in New Moon ¨C the final fight scenes are a cool,arthritis leg pain blurry mix of Matrix style bullet time action and sweeping camera work. But it's Kristen Stewart's stand out performance as Bella which impresses the most. Once again, she commands a powerhouse performance as she falls apart after Edward's abandonment. It's this pivotal acting which gives Bella an edge, a vulnerability and a rawness which shows why she's such a talent; the Wolf transformations and appearance on screen are pretty damn good (though some may feel they're not how they should be when compared to their background in Stephenie Meyer's books); and Team Jacob certainly receives a boost from Taylor Lautner's much improved presentation this time around ¨C although given the slightly scheming edge to his character,arthritis leg pain I somehow doubt there will be many defector from Team Edward.

New Moon is by no stretch of the imagination a disaster ¨C as an example of its genre, it's perfectly pitched to its audience and its core fan base.
