well, as wit most diseases it has it's ups and downs. i have a string of awesome weeks where everything is fine, and then there are those occasional weeks in which nothing i do works...like the past few weeks, in which i have put on about 27lbs...and am retaining fluids. which aggrivates my arthritis and causes debilitating pain.

but that's the whole reason i posted this is to get the word out to anybody who might have 2 or more of the symptoms. They need to get checked by their Dr.s sooner than later... it can save them some of the problems i have to suffer with if treated early enough....
