Florida, smorida. Let's go to Hawaii! Whoohoo!! Can we get Sven and Antonio to serve us coconut? Perhaps coconut and chocolate?

Got it. As close to sucking on a raw coconut as you can get. Check!

Thanks, Leenie. I'll go check out Whole Foods next time I go through Nashville. It's worth a try.

NO, no... carry on! The more info we share with each other, the better the chance we can all figure out a way to feel better. Knowledge is power (that's my public service announcement for the day). I'm like both of you. Once I get moving, I am good. If I ever sit for a while I stiffen up...

My knees and ankles (when they get bad) are always worse in the morning and after inactivity. This hand thing seems to get worse as the day goes on. Dunno. The funny thing is that the arthritis part doesn't flare every time the drugs wear off. It's just every now and then. The hand thing...

Quote: Noodleroo, you have no idea how much I crave salad and raw fruits and veggies. A big huge salad with carrots and maybe a little cheese and ham... YUM! I haven't had a big huge salad in two decades. I finally got to the place where I could eat a smallish bowl of lettuce with some...

I consider Walmart to be the 7th level of hell.

Quote: Awww... aren't you sweet to offer! The kindness of people on here just touches my heart sometimes. You are a dear! I'll look for a brace next time I hit the store. That's a good idea. Probably the problem will all vanish in a week when I go get drugged up. That's what usually...

Quote: CityGirl, I know exactly what you are going through. I would love to compare notes sometime. I haven't yet been able to afford the blood test to tell if mine is Crohns or Celiac disease, but we (doc & I) are leaning towards celiac because of my family history. In a way I was so...

Quote: Oh my. If I ate raw fruits, veggies and seeds/nuts I would never ever leave my bathroom! I recently read something about the health benefits of hula hooping. Interesting that you are seconding it. Perhaps I'll go find one!

Quote: I understand exactly. I hate take the various things my doctor wants to try. Remecaid makes me pretty happy though and I willingly go sit still and let them pump it in. The result for me are dramatic and instant. I go back to being a real person again! It's happy, happy stuff! I...

Quote: So where do you find it and how do you take it? Tablespoon a day? In something?

Awww, thanks Belle! It's not a huge deal. Lots of people deal with a lot worse. It is just annoying when I have things to do and my body won't cooperate. I'm trying to crochet tonight. I want my young zippy body back!

Quote: I have heard good things about apple cider vinegar. The problem is that I hear you have to get the organic version, not the basic stuff you can get at the local grocery. I'll look up the others. Thanks!

Quote: I already do Remecaid (an arthritis drug) for the Crohns. It's good stuff. I have also heard that dairy can be a cause. The sad thing is that I LOVE dairy. Love, love, LOVE it. I would have a very hard time giving it up. Cheese, glorious cheese. It is a bad feeling. It stinks...

Nope. No bump. I really did think I had bruised my hand. I'm forever banging into stuff. But after poking on it, it feels more like it is down in the bone. Thus the arthritis option. Owwie. My mom and sister get those cysts periodically. They go in and have them aspirated. No problem...

Ice it is. I'll try that and see if it is better tonight. Thanks!

So I have Crohns and along with it comes a variety of assorted auto-immune side effects. Rheumatoid arthritis is a possible side effect. I have had issues in the past when my medicine is wearing off with pain in my ankles and knees. About a week ago the joint at the bottom of my left hand...
