Crunchy joints?

Lots of wine
Dinner with Hugh Jackman
A week at the beach

and an all week shopping spree

You should be fine after that






















I have no idea

A week long shopping spree -- with what ???

Thanks anyway. The beach sounds good.

I know what you mean.

My two pinky fingers are so stiff, they don't bend. Cortisone did NOT help.

Oh well. Paquinil may be next for me. Have you tried it?

well, don't try the "Puppy cure" haha. Anyway other treatments might include dinner with Vinnie Lecalvaliar... well no, I take that back... a full body massage by Vinnie L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to get a life.... ANY life.

I wrote this once in another post (so forgive me if I'm repeating myself - haha), but for about 2 years prior to LD, my joints used to pop and crack so loudly that I once had someone at work ask me "What is that noise".... and I had so say, "ummm, It's me."

And, I have always been able to pop my shoulders in and out while in bed. I'll be sleeping on my side and it just slips right out of the socket, and then right back in. I have Ehlers Danlos but just the very mild kind which is a kind of hyper-extension. Itstead of standing and touching my toes, I can touch the floor with my hands and walk on my hands backwards between my leg (I know toooo much information)... anyway I can do all kinds of wierdo stuff with my fingers and am somewhat ambidextrous.... very wierd, all of it.

My RA (the nice one) and my LLDr. said I was a "perfect host" for Lyme disease. I also was an ear infection baby (family lore is that I have always snored like a sailor and still do) and had my tonsils and adnoids removed.... and I had a few bad strep infections... all of which adds to being somewhat immune depressed and my joints were primed to be slightly suseptable to arthritic conditions... and then WHAMO I get Lyme disease. It really hit my knees hard and my hips. I cannot do a deep knee bend at all. I can hardly get up and down a few stairs.

Lyme disease.... still sucking after all these years............

King: What kind of puppy?? That would make me a very HAPPY camper!  D

What's the puppy's name?

My shoulders are also very loose and they pop out, my thyroid is fine. I really cant figure out what causes so many of us to have the popping, crackling joints.  D

It may be related to buying a puppy and being pulled in all different directions for a years, bending over to wipe up "puddles", trying to move 50 lb. bags of kibble, etc.
