Tackle it Tuesday...Update on my RA


Well after my Dr's appointment I procrastinated on taking my medication (Naproxen Sodium 550) for the longest time. Mainly due to the fact that one of the side effects is bleeding stomach ulcers. But after feeling very stiff and being in quiet a bit of pain, I tried it. It has changed my life. For the past two years I have been VERY stiff and would shuffle around after getting up from sitting for a short period of time. I feel better than I have felt in a long time. I can do more things with Pebbles without hurting so bad. I am so Thankful.
Although I may not be able to do what this lady is doing in the photo, I have been playing, running, jumping and dancing with my precious daughter. And that my friends is priceless.

Please visit 5 minutes for mom to see more great tackles.

Oh, I am so happy you are getting some relief. I have been praying for you and trying not to worry! I am so glad the naproxin is working for you, it sounds like it will make your days easier!

Hey, I have something for you! It has been sitting on my counter for 3 weeks now. As soon as I can talk someone into taking it to the post office, you'll get it!!!

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
