Health - 22 November 2007

I tried this question a few minutes ago, but didn't get any answers so I'll try again. If I wanted to exercise this morning before thanksgiving, would it be better to do cardio or something with light weight? I'm a girl in my early teens, and I'm not trying to lose weight just stay healthy. Which would be better? thanks :)

As I sit here typing this, I'm struggling as my fingers and wrists are swollen, stiff and terribly sore. I woke up early because I cannot stay in bed for very long. I am feeling exhausted.

I was diagnosed with RA last year, this is only my second "flare". I am in between insurance right now and cannot see my Rheumatologist :big tear:

I guess what my question is to those with RA:

How do you cope?

I can barely wipe my own bum (when I do, my wrist creaks and pops and hurts) or get dressed. I use a computer at work and barely have the strength to press the keys down with my fingers. I wake up every morning crying. I know it's taking a toll on my partner as well.

I am 22. Any advice?

Why is it that when someone has a bad day at work that they come home, grab a tub of Ben & Jerry's, sit themselves on the couch & describe themselves as 'depressed'?

Depression is a serious illness which affects many people. I find it totally offensive that the word depression has become synonymous with unhappiness in everyday conversation. Having known someone who struggled to get out of bed & endured hospitalisation for clinically diagnosed depression, it strikes me as incredibly thoughtless for someone who has experienced one shitty day to use this word to describe their general mood. As far as I know, the DSM-IV does not suggest depression can be developed in the space of one day.

Let's reserve this word for those who actually are affected by this disabling illness & send them our love & support.

I've had it for about 3 days, I've not been in any type of car accident. It hurts a little when I turn from side-to-side, and some just during everyday activities (standing, walking, etc.), but not terribly.......when it's really bad if when I have to "push off" and use certain muscles, like getting up off the couch, turning over in bed, or getting out of bed. When I grab the back of my neck & squeeze it, as I get out of bed, it's somewhat better. Almost using my own fingers as a brace.....

What might this be?

Have any of you 26 year old women had a second period a month? I have a two year old son and never had a problem with my monthlies/hormones until I gave birth. I now have thyroid disorder (presently treated); and I have a light period almost always a week after my proper cycle. My regular cycle also isn't so regular, I pass clots all the time and have pain (not extreme pain, but I've been told that you shouldn't have much pain with your period once you've given birth). I've seen my doc about this and seeing him again next week, but I was still wondering whether any of you have ever had a similar experience? We're hoping to try for another baby soon and I desperately hope nothing is seriously wrong! Oh, have also had a pap smear and came back fine. Anyone??
