Things Ive noticed

I have been taking naproxen 500 mg twice daily since march. After my
visit with my ra doctor he switched me to vimivo 500 mg twice daily.
These medications contain a lot of asprin in them. As we all know
asprin thins your blood.

So I've noticed that on top of my normal bruising from my anemia..im
getting bruises even easier. The picture I attached is a bruise I
received from my one year old son resting his head on my arm.

I've also noticed im the only one enjoying the 90 degree weather
because my body temperature seems to be 5° cooler! So to me that's a
plus! Im glad we don't have ac because I about froze at my moms house.
Which I don't mind this side affect :)

Mornings are easier with the vimovo. How ever I need something more.
The pain in my legs is worsening. I didn't think it was possible for
them to ache any more but I was wrong. I can't find relief each day
the pains worsen. Im trying to walk it off. But I've been doing some
research on different types of medications...that I am going to talk
with my doctor about june 1st. I trust this doctor until I find a new
RA doctor which my insurance is still at a standstill...even after
I've called three times last week.
For the most part I feel fine. I've been under a lit if mental stress
lately due to surrounding family and my house has suffered greatly
from the last flare..which always stresses me out.

But life goes on. Day by day. Its the little things that make your days count.

I also had some set backs with my weight loss that put me in a
funk....the one thing I have to keep in mind is everyday is a new day.
