Sorry, been sick and it's been raining, so not much progress here. I'm ready just to start the June one! I got to walk yesterday and the day before so I'm up to a total for the month of: Total Walked – 16 miles (Friday 31st May) Total lost – 0.8 lbs (Friday 31st May) Pitiful. Lets start with June already LOL :)

it's started to rain so I'm off track already...why can't spring stay around for more than a couple days at a time!?

Hi yas :) I'm in. I need some motivation and this worked before. Guess I'm a week late in starting so maybe I'll just go a week into June and consider tomorrow my starting day. Start – 0 miles and 0 lbs (Tuesday 7th May) Week 1 - xx miles and xxx lbs (Tuesday 14th May) Week 2 - xx miles and xxx lbs (Tuesday 21st May) Week…

I brought fudge to the last company potluck :)

I think baths with epson salt help the swelling quite a bit. Need to stay in it for at least 15 minutes. I think the hot water helps too.

if you just search Gluten free banana bread there is a good one from Taste of Home

Update: Went gluten free around thanksgiving and now I'm feeling A TON better! Not that I don't still hurt a bit but its better. Not taking my remicade right now either. Just 2mg of Prednisone and doing well. Much better than a high dose of Remicade every 6 weeks and the prednisone! Seems that alcohol isn't my friend…

I've always had cold hands even when it was hot outside. I don't really know of anything that helps it. My legs also fall asleep fairly easily. I've been told I have very small veins too. It's always been that way also. When my fingers are swollen with inflammation they are HOT though. Sorry, I doubt that information…

I just had a flare that involved my knee (stairs were not my friend) and my wrist. I was fine that morning, ate a ton of red vine licorice (has gluten) and then couldn't do stairs that night. No exercise involved at all...mostly sitting in front of my computer with my feet on the top (shhhh don't tell IT). So, I'm thinking…

I just found this group also. Would love to have some more friends! :) I'll be sending out some requests in the near future :)

I have no idea what really triggers mine, but I usually have the loss of movement in one or several knuckles of my hand and sometimes my wrist. I also have problems with my feet sweeling at the knuckles. Usually drinking a ton of water helps with lots more advil than normal. I'd love to hear what people think is causing…

I started a low dose prednisone while trying to get pregnant - which took 3 years - and I gained about 30-40 pounds doing it. I thought that I was "too good" to have the weight gain and didn't try to prevent it. Finally got pregnant and by the end I was on quite a bit of prednisone as my RA/AS or whatever did not go away…
