I got tired of the old design and updated.

I'm now on meds for uric acid. Doc wants to treat the gout first and see how my hand pain is. So far it' done nothing for hand pain. I just feel ticked off that he told me to take Tylenol or Advil for it. Dude, if Tylenol took care of it, I wouldn't be sitting in your office! =P

Fibro, and RA and Gout - OH MY!

OK, here we go. Doc says I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (on top of Fibro) then told me I have gout. WTF? It was much simpler when I just had depression. =P

I never did have the carpal tunnel surgery. In the pre surgery blood tests, the doc found my red blood platelets were very very low. I had to go to a specialist, who ran all sorts of blood tests. He couldn't find anything! It was a cholesterol med, Niaspan, that a cardiologist put me on. Stopped taking the stuff and now I'm ok.

Confirmed today that I need carpal tunnel surgery. I'll have my right hand done on Oct 6th. Not thrilled, but it's necessary.

Just a note that we are okay. Hurricane Irene roared thought last night. We were very lucky and didn't lose trees or electricity!

Got a new computer today. The one I had been using is five years old and gave me the black screen of death yesterday. I had been on Jury Duty, so at least I had the money from that to put towards it.

New 'Hyperbole and a Half'

This is one of my favorite web comics. In this episode, The Simple Dog Goes for a Joy Ride. Poor beast! It has more troubles than most dogs have in a lifetime!
