Arthritis?

Well, for a couple of months I have been experiencing continuous pain in my hands, feet, and knees. I thought one day that I had actually broken my finger because it hurt so much to bend it. Other times, especially at nights getting up with the babies, I have felt that my feet were going to break from my putting pressure on them to walk. I have noticed that it is worse when I am tired or cold. I started wearing slippers in July to help my feet not hurt so much.

Last week I went to the doctor for a check up. I mentioned this to him and he mentioned that he felt like it was probably arthritis and that they would check on that (as well as a multitude of other things) when they did my blood work. He gave me a prescription to try and see if it helped. Today was my first day, and it has really helped. The only draw back is that it seems to give me a burst of energy after taking it, and following the instructions to take two before bedtime means I am up at 2:00 in the morning typing. I will have to figure that one out, but it has been nice not having so much pain today.

Well, we will have to see where this roller coaster leads.
