Eleni, I sent you a message, but it came back as undeliverable. I'll send you a private message on here.

Don't know if this will work???
Poor Joanne-tell her i will pray.
I got a script for the UTI but don't think it's strong enough-have to go to the urologist next week.
I have to close the books for Brad's business and get everything together to send to the acct. I never do the taxes myself-too many new rules every year.
Still getting up way too early and now it's cold/.
I have cranberry pilld and I should have been taking them.
Hope you get out soon tammy. Bye for now-Mima

Did not work. Mima

Mima, keep us posted on what the urologist says. I've never had a UTI, so I don't know what you are dealing with.

I think we are now down to a Level 1, but there are still roads that aren't passable. I know the road crews have been working nonstop, but there are so many little back roads to cover. Yesterday morning a woman was going to work, slid off the road into the ditch a couple miles from here. A man stopped to help her, and he stole her purse and took off! What a jerk!!!

Hope everyone is doing well, and let's all keep Joanne in our prayers!

Kate, my late brother love the Great Pyrenees too. My poodles are still water dogs you should see what they do with their water dish. My cats are Maine Coons who also love the water so we have a lot of fun keeping the floors dry.
Eleni your sister is is my prayers it is amasing how much are bodies go through. Even the fact that we make fat out of the calories we don't use is amazing and that we can loose it is even more wonderful.
I "Treated" my self to fast food I had the WW points and used them for a small burger and sm fry and one very large upset tummy. I can't believe I ate so many dollar burgers before and never felt a thing it just goes to show how eating good for you food leads to more good food.
Your all so great I hope you get warm soon.
BTW This is my girl Bell.

Good morning everyone.....a very chilly morning here with high winds. Nice and sunny though!

Poor Joanne! I do hope she has a speedy recovery. Eleni, please let her know "the FM ladies in the room" are thinking of her!

Mima, hope that UTI gets better fast. Sometimes it takes several days for the meds to work. I have only had 1 in my lifetime and that was enough!

Tammy, I just couldn't imagine being caught up in all that snow again. As difficult (hot & humid) as the summers can be here in Florida, I have resigned myself to that in favor of a pleasant and snowless winter! I used to enjoy the changing of the seasons when I lived in New England and probably still could admit to loving the spring and fall up there, but I couldn't handle those winters again. I do wish you the best in the "snow belt?" area though.

Candice, hope your toe is doing better. I had a tough night last night myself and only got about 5 hours sleep. My celebrex script should be here in a few days (I use a mail order pharmacy) and hopefully the higher dose will work. I am truly tired of being in pain all the time. I may have to find another chiropractor...one who takes health insurance here to get some relief. I just hate going through all that "getting-to-know-the-new-patient" crap, know what I mean? Off to clean the kitchen. Hubby is home until Monday morning which means the kitchen will be busy all weekend. I hope everyone stays warm and enjoys the rest of the day.

Hello everybody.

Eleni - please let Joanne know we are thinking about her and wishing her a quick recovery.

Mima - hope you have a quick recovery as well from the UTI. Do you take probiotics? So many FMers have yeast problems, and they can sure be the cause of a UTI, so they say. Did you find your new pet yet??

Kate - Today is NOT a good winter day for me. It has warmed up considerably, and has been around 42F. We had RAIN the other day - not freezing rain, just plain old rain - unheard of for January in Alberta. Outdoor hockey games were cancelled - WE MADE HISTORY!!! January is behind us now, and we are a month closer to Spring. The weather is changing all over the world. Poor people in Australia and New Zealand, having temps of 115F + I would literally DIE in that heat. Don't do well in heat, I am afraid. I like it around 75 - a perfect temp for me.

I don't know what the Celebrex will do for FM. I don't think it does anything for much! Took it when it first came out, and felt exactly the same way. Hope it works better for you. Joanne doesn't have FM, but she does have OA.

Shrinking me - I have never been a lover of fastfood and rarely go to those places. In fact, I mostly eat at home. When I do eat out, I end up with stomach problems - too much fat I think. When you have been eating right, your body sure lets you know when it is unhappy about something.

Tammy - glad your roads are open. I don't think I have ever seen our closed, where we could not drive. They just pull out the ploughs and go to work. We are always winter ready here

Everybody have a good day. I am having an FM day today. The weather has warmed up, rain is around and the humidity is causing me PAIN!!!! So tired as well, but that COULD be from working 3 days this past week. I am not getting younger, I guess. Still, I enjoy it, so I will continue.

Hi Candice and meme

Shrinking, love the picture of Bell! Good for you for having the fast food since you wanted it, but making a wise choice with it. Too bad it made you feel icky, but now you now how eating healthy can make you feel better, right?

Kate, I do enjoy the changing seasons too, but as I get older the snow and ice isn't so pretty any more. It hurts!

Anne, I'm with you about the 75 degree temp. I could handle that. When it gets cold, I hurt. I don't hurt so much when it is warmer, but I just don't like it. I've lived in this area all my life, and I've never seen the roads closed like this. It's amazing! In Jan. l978 we had a blizzard that closed roads for days, but this isn't nearly like that. One of my friends drives a snow plow. I saw him last night for a while, and he is totally exhausted.

NOTE FROM ELENI

Joanne seemed a little better today but it can still go any way.She was sleeping and I got her to eat a small pudding. Hopefully she will be noticeably better when I go tomorrow. Please keep her in your prayers as she is very ill.

I think I'll go back to sleep for a short bit, and then get up and decide if I'm going to venture to church. I think most of those roads should be cleared. I HOPE they are cleared if I go!

Have a great day all!

Someone please start a new thread. I can't seem to find how to do it.
Hope Joanne is better. Talked to Dennis sister and they are going to move him to a nursing home after he has some kind of operation? he is also trying to get him into subsidized housing.
I get UTis because I have a urethral diverticulun. Which means the bacteria collects. That is why I have to see the urologist and yes I take probiotics. I actually bought something for ibs in Walmart.
Church and Sunday school and out to eat? Hang in there Tammy-what a creep to steal her purse.I hope Joanne is getting better, Mima

Hi everyone...started a new thread...please go to #181....don't know how to "sticky" the thread yet
