Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Log

September 2nd, 2010

RA health log. Today I am changing the health log a little. I will update it daily if I can or write about several days if I miss a day or two. Today I am catching up on the last week. Saturday I had stiffness in my hands when I was holding the camera. Monday night I began to get stiffness in my neck and shoulders. Yesterday it finally started raining and the pain and stiffness have went down in the pain levels. Just annoying right now.

I finally setup an appointment for a neck, back and shoulder massage, it is for Saturday and I am looking forward to it. Flexeril is definitely keeping the pain down, I did forget to take it one night and I was in pain while sitting the next day.

I only did exercise 2 days this past week, getting ready to hit the Wii now and I will try to do that daily if I can.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Log Day 62

July 26th, 2010

Day 62 of my RA health log. This morning I hardly noticed the tenderness in my shoulders, my back muscles were stiff and more noticeable.  Moved around often last night to reduce pain. I noticed my knees being stiff off and on the last few weeks around a 1 on the pain scale most of the time, sometimes up to a 2. My back, shoulders and neck have been the worse. But I am still doing pretty good and staying active, the boxing does seem to help reduce the stiffness.

Today I did 40 minutes of Wii Rhythm Boxing. I am getting ready to do 20 more minutes of Wii but going to try something different,

Today I made me a latte for breakfast and had leftover chicken and chips for dinner.
