Worst. Summer. Ever.

Wow, how motivated was I the last time I posted something? Quite, it appeared. Well, just having a diagnosis is not enough. I have run into some other obstacles...such as Hyperurecemia. My uric acid level in my blood is high. Almost gout. Old me get gout, not me. Guess again. My joints, while not swollen, hurt like hell, making it impossible for me to loose one ounce of extra weight because I can not exercise. This is becoming tiresome.

There is only one thing I can do, and that is try again (and again and again and again if I have to). My goal for today is to just get my mess of a house back in order (and to get my family on board so that the daily unordering of things ceases.) Tomorrow I would like to get some extra rest, maybe carve pumpkins with the kids and get ready for the week ahead. I go back to the rheumatologist on Tuesday, so hopefully she will have something positive to say.

For now, it is time for motrin and flexeril so that I can move.

Loving it.
