Just really achy from my RA today and yesterday...

Its always been located in my knees and below but has been moving to my hands. This morning so bad I in my right wrist I could only shampoo one side of my head, and I don't think I'm going to be able to shave before going to my program today.

At least you can shampoo one side of your head...my RA is bad in hands, wrists and shoulders and I have over 4 feet of hair to deal with =/

I hope it gets better for you today {{{{{Dex}}}}}

I, too, suffer from RA and now have kidney disease which means they have to take me off my meds for it. I have been on a research study on a new type of Vioxx that has been a miracle for me but my nephrologist told me that I have to make a choice between my kidney (I have only one that is functioning only at 38%) and my quality of life. It is a hard choice. Basically, do I live in pain or die of kidney disease.
