Doesn't seem like rheumatoid arthritis, might be osteoarthritis.
BP was insanely high, could be salt? Weight could be water? Thyroid?

So they got a whole lot of blood and they are going to run some tests...

I still don't know what was going on but I eventually worked through it by rebuilding myself fencing. If you get your Docs clearance maybe you need to increase the intensity of what you're doing.

Hoping it's something simple S.N.

Although thyroid does that to me and it doesn't feel so simple at least it just requires a dose of hormone to bring it in to balance again.

I got my fingers crossed it is something simply manageable.

Got the bloodwork back from the lab. Everything is fine except my liver has elevated functions, whatever that means. They want to test again in six weeks.

What ever I still feel like shit.

I cried a few times today.

We went to her church for presentations for Graduating Seniors.

I was sad for the first time.

Yeah, I have an excellent heart, lowest index for CHD. After speaking to my sisters, both of whom have sleep apnea, I now wonder if it is sleep apnea. Mrs. Nutkin says I always stop breathing when I sleep, so I will look into that.

Maybe that's due to her pillow...

I have a friend who had his tonsils out in his mid-thirties for sleep apnea. Said it completely changed his life. He never knew what it felt like to actually be fully-rested before then.

I have an uncle with sleep apnea, sounds like a possibility.

My brother has sleep apnea, and when he got his mask, it changed his life. He said basically the same thing.

Hmmm, that would explain the chewed up pillow cases.

Well, I see the doc again on Thursday so I'll tell him.

It's amazing how many people say the exact same thing about cpap machines, both of my sisters said "It changed their lives"

It's not often you hear that consistency of testimonial, usually it is a claim for a bogus product. Anyway, it would explain a lot of things. I made the mistake of reading up on sleep apnea right before bed. Mistake is putting it mildly.

Well here, I'll give you an alternate opinion: my mother tried the mask and said it was way, way too uncomfortable to sleep in. She hated it, and gave up after two nights. So now it doesn't have a perfect track record of satisfied patients.

Yeah? Well, my brother refers to it as his Darth Vader mask. So no only has it changed his life, but he gets to pretend he's an evil Jedi knight when he goes to bed.

technically clod, since she is not using the mask, she is not a contender for (using) the mask changed my life. She does get a door prize for playing:
"I tried the mask and it was hella uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep with it or with out it."

Glatt, Does the mask come in black with the cape too? My son would dig it, especially if we changed his name to Luke.
