Update

August 17th, 2008    Posted by: ArthritisQuest

No, we’re not dead, we’re still around. An update on my health. I haven’t had any more severe outbreaks of arthritis attacks, but it’s been bothering me in more insidious ways. For starters, I’m getting considerably more trouble breathing than I have been, though my weight and blood pressure and other vitals have essentially stayed the same or even improved. I’m not sure yet if it is connected or unrelated, but it tends to correlate with the overall lethargy that the arthritis causes. For some reason I’m also feeling pressure on my chest when I lie down on it for long periods of time, something that I never dealt with before. I’m not sure at all if that is related, but since this is a sort of catch-up update, that’s where I am right now.
