The Alphabet

-
A few days ago I was tagged by Kelby of PeachyPain to do a survey. It was made quite clear that if I did not complete this survey, I would be cursed with bad breathe for five years. And so- much to the relief of my dentist- I will complete it now. And remember, if you break the chain you will be cursed with bad breath for five years. I'd better throw in that you will also be cursed so all your bottle caps will not be arthritis friendly.

 The Alphabet Meme:


A: Attached or Single – Arthur and I are quite attached.

B: Best Friend - Two awesome girls- one I met in school and one I met through the Arthritis Foundation.
C: Cake or pie – Cake, by far. A small piece and a glass of milk at the end of the day is bliss.

D: Day of choice – Saturday- you get to sleep and go out.
E: Essential item – I'm torn between my sketch book and my bed.

F: Favorite color – Tough choice but I'd say coral since my wardrobe is primarily coral right now (summer clothes!).

G: Gummy bears or worms – Gummy bears since I don't think worms are pleasent.

H: Hometown - home is where the heart is.

I: Favorite indulgence- Definitely having a whole bar of chocolate.

J: January or July – July because the weather is better.
K: Kids – None, but hopefully one day in many, many years.

L: Life isn’t complete without… -  People you love and who love you.

M: Marriage date – Not yet, but maybe one day.

N: Number of handbags – I only have a few- I can't be botherer to swap so I mostly use one.
O: Oranges or apples – Apples: so sweet and crunchy.

P: Phobias – Bugs... They're so gross.
Q: Quotes – “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." -Albus Dumbledore
R: Reason to smile – My lovely little niece. Sunny days. Famous art. Favourite books. Great friends.
S: Season of choice – Summer- no school, no stress.
T: Tag people – Arianna, Jenni, Ms. Rainbow
U: Unknown fact about me – I am a huge traveler- I have a world map in my room marked with all the places I want to go and the places I have gone.
V: Vegetable – Tomatoes- raw in a salad and a great sauce.
W: Worst habit - I tend to show my emotions in my face- if I don't like something, you can tell.

X: X-ray or ultrasound – Ultrasound since you see what happens whilst they're doing it.
Y: Your favorite food – Beef stew- just the way mum makes it.

Z: Zodiac sign – I don't read my horoscope or anything like that, but if I remember correctly I am an Aires.
Happy Saturday.

    Aw, I'm so honoured that you tagged me!
    I will try to get it done when I have some time, although I must say I already have experience with unfriendly bottlecaps! ;)

    I agree with Saturday - a good day to rest and have fun at the same time :) I also love to travel like you! I think it's one of the best medicines for us :)

Balancing Friendships and Psoriatic Arthritis

   Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) affects every part of your life, even in subtle ways – including your friendships. After living with PsA since childhood, I assumed I knew everything there was to know about navigating friendships with arthritis. But after graduating from college and entering “the real world,” I was in for a huge shock. As it turns out, maintaining adult friendships is much more work than I anticipated.

My Arthritis Depression

-
In this post, I talk about a very hard time after I was diagnosed with arthritis. I share this because I think it's important for others to know that this is a hard disease. For the longest time I felt weak and that I was the only one weak enough to feel this way. But I know now that that is far from the truth: Many people feel this way and it's because they are strong. I know I'm not the first when I say 'I don't want to be alone in this disease.' I don't think anyone has ever said, 'I want to fight this alone,' and actually meant it. It's an ongoing thing that never seems to end, with surprises at every corner. I couldn't go on if it weren't for the wonderful people behind me. I know that for a fact because there was a point when I had almost no one. I did it almost alone for a long time. I had my mum, and she had me. Even then, sometimes there was a wall of fatigue between us. I was newly diagnosed and was taking methotrexate. It

Leflunomide, Calcium Oxalate Crystals, and Kidney Stones

-
Updated: October 2022 My name is Elizabeth and I will never have an easy disease to diagnose. It took several years ro get my diagnosis. I've taken a few different drugs, but none of them truly worked out for me. Methotrexate didn't work well. But Leflunomide changed my life. Not so much arthritis-wise, as I responded well. However, I began experiencing possible thyroid and kidney problems while taking leflunomide. I have calcium crystals in my kidneys, which could later become stones. As my mum says, "I'm sparkling on the inside."  We found this as blood was found in my urine many times. I also had to do a twenty-four hour urine sample, which is when you collect all the urine you produce in twenty-four hours. It really is quite embarrassing walking into the hospital with a container of your own urine, but it's worth it. I'm currently seeing a specialist for this problem and we are taking care of it right now by discontinuing leflunomide and lett
